Thank you both for the ID! He was SO cute, and not timid at all. I had a shot of the abdomen, but it was blurred.

Nice shot! The blue-green chelicera are what the Phidippus genus is known for. I'm pretty confident in my id suggestion; however, if you have a shot of the abdomen, it would help a lot.
