Laura, Jack's Grandma has to be the prettiest grandma ever! Yes I might be biased because, well she is my wife but look at her. What could be more fitting than the cutest baby ever have the prettiest grandma ever? 
Jack has to be the cutest baby I have ever seen! Sure I'm his grandpa, I know possibly a biased opinion? But what do you think? And if you knew how mellow and happy he is all the time you would feel the same way. He is an amazing baby. I'm the happiest grandpa there could be. How is it this gift was given to us all? I can only say we all in the family are blessed. Beau and Chelsea have had an angel given to them. A tiny little angel grown from a seed. A baby to nurture and grow. A baby to grow into a boy and then into a man. Jack's parents have embarked on a journey both Laura and I have made. A journey all of our parents have made. And their parents have made. Life continues on with special gifts like Jack. He is our 1st grandson. I have a feeling it wont be the last either. Life is special. A gift you can't put a price tag on. A special gift of life and it has been given to all. So enjoy this priceless gift. There isn't anything better. It's why we are all here...
Well here's a picture of a proud man. Clark, Jack's Great Grandfather Devilbiss. With Jack nestled in his arm I'm sure he's enjoying this moment. Amazing the joy a baby can bring. Like a gift from heaven Jack has come into all of our lives. Again I think this picture really tells a story. A story of love and the bond it creates between a great grandfather and his great grandson. Jack is a lucky little boy to have so many loving family members around him.
This is my wife Laura's mother Pat. Great Grandmother Devilbiss. Jack has 2 sets of great grandparents from his father's side of the family. How amazing is that? Jack has brought so much joy to our families. I think this picture tells a 1000 words. Look at Pat's face. Her expression is almost as precious as little sleeping Jack in her arms.
Here he is, Great Grandfather Berenger. Jack is about a month old here. Jack has really made my parents so happy. And the fact that Jack is a boy and will carry on the Berenger name I'm sure makes him proud. The honor of being a great grandparent is something I hope to experience someday. But being a grandparent is pretty good too. 
The birth of my mothers Great Grandson Jack had to have been one of her most highly anticipated moments of her life. When the news that Chelsea was pregnant was announced all of us became excited! My mom and dad now knew they would be Great Grandparents! I can only imagin what that must feel like. I know how excited Laura and I were when we got the news that we would be Grandparents. What an honor to be a Great Grandparent! What else in life is there to achieve after this. Perhaps in life this is the ultimate honor? I love you Mom! All I can say is thanks for starting all this! And I must thank my son Beau and his Wife Chelsea for giving this special gift to my Mom. You made my Mom's already incredible life even better. 
This is a picture I really wanted to get even before Jack was born. It's an amazing thing to see 4 generations all together in one picture. Here Beau Berenger, Jack Berenger, Hugh Berenger and Arliss Berenger are all together. A cherished picture by me and I'm sure will be a cherished picture for generations to come. My dad is 86, I am 48, Beau is 26 and Jack is almost 1 month old.
Here are a few images of Jack at 15 days old. He still has all his baby hair. I especially like the little wave on the top. His shirt says" I'm the Best". I think he is too. He's growing up fast. I'm glad I captured the images of Jack that I did. He is my favorite model now. Jack will be pretty comfortable in front of a camera when he grows up. His dad just got an iPhone and has sent me some real nice shots. I'll share some of those when I catch up posting all of his older pics I took.
It just so amazing to see how tiny a newborn baby is. Even more amazing when you look at the baby's little feet and hands! Here are Jack's feet at 15 days old. The most precious little toes! I love him so much. I always touch Jack's feet when I see him. I can't wait to play "this little piggy went to the market" with him when he's a little older. His little hands are so cute too. We as a family are very blessed to have such a perfect baby to call our own!
Here you can see Jack's bellybutton is still healing. Again he is 5 days old in this picture. Jack is in good hands. His father Beau is so good with him. Always there to help Jack's mother Chelsea with feeding, changing and other misc. duties. Both parents are totally into their new son Jack. I think it's so important that both parents be there to raise their child. I can see a very strong bond developing between Jack and his parents. As a result of this bond Jack is trusting and happy almost all of the time. I really think this picture shows an amazing connection between father and son.
My son Beau took this shot of me holding Jack for the 1st time. He's 5 days old here. He was too tiny for me to hold him when he was born. I'm a very proud man in this picture. So proud to hold my Grandson Jack. It had been over 20 years since I held a baby like this. These are memories I will never forget. Just like when I held my own children for the 1st time. I didn't hold him long. It's not the easiest thing for a man to do. But an opportunity that shouldn't be passed up. I really love my Grandson! Now Jack is my newest pride and joy.
Newborns are so tiny. So far most of the pictures I have taken of Jack he has his eyes closed. He sure sleeps a lot! I'm sure that is a good thing for both the parents and for Jack. He is very healthy and strong.....and soooooo precious!
A special and a new moment. Chelsea's 1st baby! What an amazing thing it must be to see and hold your child after carrying it inside for 9 months. Jack seemed to really like feeling the warmth of Chelsea's body. Jack also must hear her heart beat as well. Oh and it didn't take long at all for a hungry Jack to know where to feed. Words really can't describe how a new mother must feel. Chelsea is a wonderful person and I'm more than sure she will be a great mom to Jack.
One of my favorite pictures I have. I took this on 4-18-09, the day Jack was born. Funny to see my son Beau learning how to hold a newborn. Jack has the most special expression on his face! What a special moment for all of us in the family!
