It seems our little man is living up to his 'names' as of late. If you didn't already know, Jackson's middle names are Ronin: (Japanese) a master less samurai, and Koa: (Hawaiian) warrior; brave, bold and fearless. And they were chosen specifically because of his method of entry into this world.
Our brave little soldier fought to make his entrance into our family. And he was a fierce warrior with the wounds to prove it. After getting his shoulder stuck on the way out, he broke his collar bone, had a black eye and a misshapen head from all his and mommy's pushing. And that doesn't even include the ones that he had from the forceps used to finally help the little guy out. We knew right away that these names were meant for our scrappy little bruiser.
And as mommy's little toughie, Jackson seems to have new boo-boos every day. But as mentioned previously, he is not one to complain. A little slip or spill does not stop our easygoing munchkin. No bumps, bruises, cuts or scratches deter our man on a mission. It seems that every day a new mark has been added to replace the one from the day previous to remind us that he can handle anything that gets in his way. Be it a wall or a chair or just gravity. Nothing stops Jackson. A few cries of frustration and a quick cuddle from mom or dad and he is back on task and ready to conquer the world again. Here's hoping that this determination stays with him always.

Jackson's entrance sounds exactly like my firstborn boy's entrance to the world.. but instead of breaking his collarbone, I bore the wounds of 200+ stitches! He had a round of a head as could be, with some cuts from the forceps.. but darn it if he's not also the most determined child I have ever met!
Jackson's adorable.. I really miss that stage!
wow, i almost forgot about his painful entrance into the world last December. he is a little warrior :)
He is so cute. And brave and tough. Very brave and tough.
And a genius? TELL ME he didn't stack those legos himself!
