Jackson rocks 06....gets ready to kick 07's ass

Our favorite Alabaman (and sometimes PK blogger) Jeff and his wife Dana gave birth in 2006 to one of the toughest dudes on the planet.

"Action" Jackson Jones was rightfully listed by Jill as one of the Brilliant 20 of 2006:

Sure, he's cute in that "He Looks Just Like Old Man Finkelstein" kind of way, but why this particular baby? Well, it's because it isn't everyone who can survive the miscarriage of his twin, hide from a post-miscarriage D&C so that mom doesn't even know you're there, and then hang on for 23-1/2 weeks and survive placenta previa before arriving nearly fatally premature on June 14, 2006, weighing 1 pound, 4 oz. Jackson's proud daddy Jeff has written the family's experiences in a book, which will be available soon. Meanwhile, take a look at this kid, nicknamed "Superboy", because this is one tough little guy who is going to be one badass muthafucka when he grows up. And join me in wishing his parents Jeff and Dana a very, very happy new year. So far they're off to a good start.

Jeff has sporadically sent emails to a group of us, updating on Jackson's progress. Jill's right..he's gonna be one badass muthafucka. Just like his old man.
