365 Project Day 252: Fifth Generation

Canon 5D Mark ll, 100mm 2.8 macro, 3.5 aperture, 1/80 shutter, 320 ISO, window light.

Today I got to meet my nephew, Wyatt Bradley Jackson, born to my niece Lindsay, and her husband Andy. My mom and I made the drive down to Savannah, GA, to see him together. He is four days old today. Precious. He was born on Labor Day, as was his mother, Lindsay. Although Labor Day is not on the same date every year, both Wyatt and Lindsay were born on September 5th, and both days were Labor Day that year. I thought that was pretty amazing.

When a fifth generation baby is born, everything is great. Literally. My mom is now a great-grandma, I am a great-aunt, and my Aunt Polly, who is my mom’s Aunt, is now great-great -great Aunt.  What really boggles my mind  the most is that my sister Dinah is a grandma! That means I could be next in line! Hold the phone, is that right?  How did I get here so fast?

I have spent the majority of my afternoon and evening snuggling up to this sweet fellow. He smells of baby powder and sunshine, and I just want to hold him all the time, talk to him and sing him songs. He doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, in addition to his own mommy, he had three other mommies in the room just waiting to snatch him up next. A strapping young boy, that Wyatt Jackson. I think he is destined to either be a cowboy, a traveling evangelist, or president with that strong name.:)

Here are a few more photos of our new addition to the extended family. I had the best time playing with him. Welcome Wyatt Jackson!

Psalm 127:3-5 ~ “Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.”
