On June 6, 2022, the son of Tanner Novlan and Kayla Ewell had had enough waiting.

Although Jones Douglas wasn’t due for another seven weeks, he chose that day to make

his debut. And his family couldn’t have been more ecstatic — including older sibling

Poppy Marie, who turns 5 in July. “She tells everyone on the street, even dogs, that she’s a big sister,” Mom said at the time. “She’s really excited about it.”

On this joyous occasion for the Bold & Beautiful couple — Novlan is, of course, Finn, and Ewell was Caitlin — join Soaps.com not only in wishing them and their kids the most festive of days but also in taking a look back at Jones’ life in pictures.

‘Our Lil’ Man Couldn’t Wait to Join Us’
Shortly after Jones’ premature arrival, Dad took to Instagram to report that baby and mother were both doing great. The newborn weighed in at just three lbs., nine oz.

Sleep? What’s Sleep?
As any parent of an infant can tell ya, a full night’s sleep is a thing of the past for a while. But Novlan was, as anyone would be, “so happy to have our lil’ man home.” And that hair — wow!

Smiles for Miles
With “Dad on duty,” the kids enjoyed a “lazy Sunday.” We can only hope that at some point, Novlan got them to both take a nap so that maybe he could make a few ZZZs himself.

Truly Magical
At nine months old, Jones made his first trip to Disney with the family — and was already able to walk the walk. What’s more, Novlan noted, there were “no meltdowns” all day.

One-derful
Novlan and Ewell made sure that their little one had a ball — a whole bunch of them, in fact — on his first birthday. And love the colorful cake with which Dad presented “the most charming guy I know.”

To a Tee
On Dad’s birthday in 2024, Jones showed signs of growing up to be a real swinger. Watch out, Tiger Woods!
