LOL! He just looks like a baby to me. Very cute and a big one (I was 5lb and about 17 inches).
Congrats to them!

Little Jackson weighed in at 9 lbs., 1 oz., and 20.5 inches long.
Not too little.. But quite precious.

My babies were 9 lbs. 1 oz. and 22 inches long and 9 lbs. 5 oz. and 21 inches long and too me, they were still small but everyone else thought they were huge. Well, I didn't think they were that small coming out but....My doctor said he rarely had babies born under 8 lbs. anymore.

My mom was small, short .. 5' in her prime, Dad was 5'7".. And a smoker.. That had to factor in. I
But my brother was just as small at birth, but 6', as opposed to my highest at 5'2".

Online I see reports that average birth weight in 2010 was 7.5 pounds and that weights were trending slightly down at that time.

I have a great 'baby weight' joke to pull on people. Ask what is the average weight for a baby. The will answer about 7 pounds forgetting that 'wait' also sounds the same for which the answer is 9 months. I have never had anyone give me the month answer.

Good one, OG.
I hope Matt isn't too overbearing being Zach's boss and I think Zach could be a good fit it that company.

So, I just learned that Zach lives next door to my niece. My niece is not happy. The camera crews are taking over the neighborhood. When she saw the family and tried to say hi, I'm your neighbor, she said they were rude and just brushed her off. Fame?

That's disappointing.  They seem so nice.

Probably if I multiplied all the times they are approached by strangers I'd probably be less than cordial also. I think about all the people lately who have been serious harmed of even killed by total strangers out of the blue that I might do the same.
I"m sure they are very nice people.

That reminds me of several years ago when a man came to my door claiming that he just moved down the block and wondered if he could come in to use my phone as his wasn't hooked up yet. I didn't let a perfect stranger into my house...and there hadn't been any houses empty or sold down the street. Never laid eyes on him again and this is a very close-knit community.

OG Zack and Tori seem much warmer and more approachable than Jeremy and his wife. IMHO
So glad you didn't let that creep into your house.

That was before everything has gone to hell in a hand basket.
Years ago my my grandson once in awhile used to play against Zach and Jeremy in soccer. My daughter thought they were a lovely family.

I guess it's Jeremy that moved next to my niece. I don't watch the show, so messed the names up.

It probably was Jeremy & Audrey. The show showed them househunting on the last episode.

Jeremy & Audrey don't seem very warm and fuzzy to anyone, even within the family. Watching their interaction with Chris was very uncomfortable. I'm sure they've had to keep their guard up since becoming recognizable, but seems like you can find a balance between being private and being approachable. I'll chalk it up to youth lol

I did happen to see a couple of shows today. My friend was the one photographing for the website.

I was so sad that Tori and Zach lost their fur baby Sully. Broke my heart. He was only 3 years old.

Kookliebird, thanks for sharing your insights to Jeremy and Audrey. And how fun to see your friend the photographer on the show!
And then the part about poor Sully. He was too young and how sad that he died. I appreciate that Tory & Zack allowed filming of Sully's laying to rest on the farm. It was very touching.
