Future Fighting Irish?

"Touchdown Jesus" as explained by Wikipedia...

The Notre Dame stadium is known for its view of "Touchdown Jesus", a nickname given to the large mural of the resurrected Jesus entitled "the Word of Life" which is located on the Hesburgh Library, looming over the stadium mirroring the raised arms of a referee signifying a touchdown.




My dad has lovingly nicknamed Colton "Touchdown Jesus" because of the sweet way he sleeps.







Colton also LOVES the Notre Dame fight song. Since Colton was born Zak has hummed the fight song to calm him and it works every time!


In honor of Zak's Fantasy Football Draft we dressed Colton up for the big day! GOOD LUCK DADDY!!!

This was just hilarious! I love all of the pics of Colton's Touchdown Jesus poses. Too funny! Enjoy that sleep positioner...it's crazy how quickly he'll grow out of it. That thing definitely was a blessing those first 2-3 months! Hope you are doing well & enjoying maternity leave!
