Okay, for a free 16 x 20, I'd say go with #3. His eyes just really "pop" in that picture. They are all very good, but in my opinion, unless there is one of all 3 of you that you absolutely love for the big pic, I'd go with one of just him. Good luck choosing!

The love just SHINES out of the photos!!

#3 is my absolute favorite - not only Jackson's beautiful smile but with your hands holding him....I got goose bumps.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful family photos.

Thank the Lord for adoption....the love in our families created in the heart is amazing.
