Here's hoping he hits more like his namesake Conor (J.) than his namesake Manny (A.).  Thrilled for you.  Congrats!

Congrats John, and way put the stem on the apple!!

Glad everyone is well.

To you and Jeri, and I'm definately digging the name.

Congrats to John and Jeri.

Good to hear that everything went well.

John:

God speed to you, Jeri and your family!

enjoy the sleepless nights filled with cuddling.  they go so quickly.

Is it too early to request a Crystal Ball? ;)

Make sure he's a lefty!

Also, it is my birthday today as well.

To the Sickels family.

He sure looks happy.

Congrats on the big man.  Job well done!!

Is it just me, or does he look like he's searching for Pete Rose's bookie in the stands?

I'm gonna' say he looks like a natural corner infielder.  

First stab at the Crystal Ball:
Season Wet Diapers Dirty Diapers Upchucks
2006      603          334          233
2007      622          340          108
2008      289          348          021          

As you can see, he shows steady improvement in his control of the Upchuck zone, and small, but noticeable improvement from year to year in dirty diapers.  Fortunately, as he ages, he shows much better control of his bladder, much to the delight of his manager.

Disclaimer -
Remember - this is not the only possible future for Jackson Sickels.  Please do not send emails telling me how I have underrated his offensive abilities.

Thanks

God bless John, Jeri and Jackson.

Pigs57,

You didn't mention Jackson's defensive ability.

What up??

Go San Dimas High!

ALL THE BEST TO YOU, JERI AND JACKSON, JOHN, GOD BLESS!

Congratulations John and Jeri!!

If you need any company online in between late-night diaper changes and during plain old sleepless nights, I'm pretty sure we've got some members on this site that are up pretty late.  

my favorite art professor is named jackson.

Happy to hear everybody is healthy. Great looking boy you have there.

wow.  congratulations.  you guys must be overjoyed

best of luck

congratulations to all three of you!

definitely a five tool player, can eat well, make the ladies oogle, fill a diaper, sleep through the vacuuming and wake you in the middle of the night.

Congrats.

Caption to shot:

"Just try to get a curve by me".

8 pounds!  That's great!

I also think that we need to watch out for Jackson Sickles in the 2023 draft.  Maybe he'll be drafted by the Cubs, make the bigs as a september callup the next year, and help the Cubs win their first world series since 1908!  

hehehehe...

I'd say he looks like a 7 skill Shortstop to me.  Congrats and glad to hear everyeone is well.

One of the wonderful things about this blog is that you let us just a little bit into your life.  Congratulations galore!

And notice that he's got his left arm back in the picture.  Good position but he needs to work on his release or he'll end up as a LOOGY.

congratulations...i presume jackson already has a baseball in his hands?

Congratulations to you and your family!  Jackson Alexander Sickels welcome to the world.
