This is the start of my blog. I am doing this for two folds. First I am proud to announce to the world that I am a Dad. This is going to be a good way for everyone to see him. The second reason for doing this is to have some sort of journal.




I HAVE A SON!!!!
Jackson Byron Smith
Born-June 22,2007
It came so fast. Wow! To think that this Jokester is a dad. I still like to think that I am kid. I am so happy that I have a son. There something about having a boy and being a dad. It is kindof like a right of passage. I have been thinking many nights (I have been up because of Jackson) about the exciting thing that I am going to do with him. I can't wait to play sport with him. I wonder what he will like. I wonder what kind of cartoons will he liked. I want him to be better than I was growing up. I don't want him to get asthma or anything like that so he can play and not worry about breathing.

Today Jackson had his first bath. We thought that he was going to be fussy, but he really enjoyed it. It was one of those surreal moments to see Melissa give Jackson a bath. He is such a cute naked baby.

Being a dad has also helps me relieves how important it is for me to take Melissa to the temple. Before he came, church was important but not as important as it is now. The sunday after Jackson came home, I went to two hours of church. This was the most church in a long time. I have to keep this up.

Hopefully through this blogging process, I will be able to write better and have some more interesting subjects.
