Jakob Dylan

Jakob Dylan was born a prince. Ok, not really, but he is the first boy born in three generations. Jakob also happens to be my nephew. My wife, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law have been doting on him since he was born.

His birth was a difficult one. You see, he was born with his umbilical cord wound tightly around his body. The doctor said the cord itself was twisted similar to a candy cane. His first five days were spent in the NICU and he came out of it like a champ.

After impatiently waiting six days, I was able to hold him. Fast forward two months, and I captured some really tender moments with him and his parents.
