The first Jensen grandson arrived just in time for Christmas! He was born on December 23rd at 7:16 pm and weighed 7 lb 1 oz and was 20 inches long. Dana was having strong contractions for about 3 days, so she was very relieved to finally be admitted to the hospital and have a beautiful and healthy baby boy!!!

It was so fun for me to be able to visit them in the hospital. There is something so special about a baby just born... the miracle of life is tangible and you know the baby came straight from heaven. It was also very sweet to see Dana and Landon as new parents. He looks like a good mixture of the two of them--I think he has Dana's big pretty eyes and Landon's thin face and nose.

The new little family was able to come home on Christmas Day, and we were there to meet them! Maddie has been looking forward to meeting Daxton for so long... she told me a few days ago that when he pops out he's going to come over and see her toys and make a mess in her room. She was awed to finally meet him and see how tiny and sweet he is... I think she may have thought he was a doll at first. Right after this picture (above) he moved his arms and she squealed "He moved, he moved!"

Dana was nice to let her hold him and kiss him.

Maddie loves his fuzzy soft hair. She kept going up to him and rubbing her cheek on his head. It will be so fun to see the cousins become friends as they grow up! I am so happy we live near each other and can be together often!

You are lucky to be so close to see him grow up! I can't wait to see him tomorrow. :) I LOOOOOVe him already!
I was wondering if he'd made his arrival yet! Congratulations to Dana!
Congrats to Dana! So fun to come home on Christmas. I was curious if she'd had him yet and was happy to see that she did. Looks like all went well too. So fun. Way to go on hosting Christmas Eve at your house. Looked like quite the event!
P.S. Lilly came to me in a stocking too and I loved it! Did Ella too? I love Christmas babies!
I've been dying for news ever since you commented on my blog. So RAD!
