born on saturday, august 28, 2010 at 7:54 am. he weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and was 19 inches long (or as his daddy says, "19 inches tall"). he is loved by his brothers and sister. sometimes i think he loved too much by davis, but better loved than not!
yes, he was born on 8-28 . . . on the day of glenn beck's big restoring honor rally at the lincoln memorial. but no matter what anybody says i did not choose beck because of glenn beck. beck was named after his great grandparents . . . beck is my mom's maiden name, his great-grandparents last name.
and lincoln, well, kyle wanted to name ethan - lincoln, and he wanted to name davis - lincoln, and he wanted to name beck - lincoln. i made a deal that we could use lincoln as his middle name, if we could name him beck. so that is how he got his name.
but the other side of the story is . . . it didn't hurt that beck was born on 8-28. kyle wanted to be at the restoring honor rally (so glad that it didn't work out, i am so grateful that kyle was with me in the delivery room and not in washington dc). he is a glenn beck supporter and so it didn't hurt my cause to get him to agree to the name beck!
another funny story . . . our kids go to a new school this year - lincoln academy. so the other day, ethan called beck "glenn beck program - lincoln academy - orton". we've had a good laugh about that one!
this is beck's first bath. kyle went with him to the nursery and got this picture. so cute, and he still hates his baths.
beck is now three weeks old and i can't imagine our family or our home without him. he is such patient and sweet little guy. we are so blessed to have him here!
