Names...

Here is a tally of your choices. The # of *'s = # of people that liked the name. I didn't include names that less than 2 people suggested (half of Rachel's list). Ü

*****
Cohen, Cole, Gavyn

****
Cameron, Easton

***
Dallen, Jaren

**
Blake, Devyn, Dylan, Ely, Ian

Well, that puts me at a total of 12 instead of 17. I hate to break it to ya, but you guys aren't much more helpful than my husband. However, I have loved hearing all of your suggestions. I'm really liking Cameron lately, even though it's only four stars. It's just so hard to decide! We are also most likely changing the middle name to Michael aka Mikey. Carter just will not let go of it. He wants a little brother named Mikey so bad, that we might just give in. He also has 2 uncles named Mike, so it would still be a family name. If it hadn't been on the top ten list of names for like the last 20 years, I would maybe even consider it for a first name. Anyway, let me know if that changes any of your suggestions, and help me cross off some more names!

Boy Names

A few of you have expressed an interest in what names we are considering and since Randall doesn't particularly like to discuss it for hours with me, I'm going to share them with all of you. Keep in mind that the birth is still months away and this list will probably change dramatically before then. I'd love to hear your input, and promise not to be offended if you don't like my names as long as you aren't offended if I end up using one that you hate. Here they are in no particular order:

1. Alex

2. Baron

3. Blake

4. Cameron

5. Cohen

6. Cole

7. Dallan

8. Damien

9. Devyn

10. Dylan

11. Donovan

12. Easton

13. Ely

14. Gavyn

15. Ian

16. Jaron

17. Zachary

If you think this list is long now, you should have seen it before we narrowed it down. We're also planning on Robert for the middle name, if that helps any of you decide which ones you like best. There is also a picture of his feet for those of you who need to see him before you can choose. Ü Please feel free to tell me what you like AND what you don't like. I need help!

Healthy Baby Boy!

We're so happy to be having another baby boy! Carter is especially excited. Hopefully he'll still be happy when we inform him we're not going to name him Mikey like he wants us to. Who would want to be named after a Ninja Turtle that sounds like a surfer? I'd post more pictures, but we didn't get very many good ones because he's a wiggly little guy. I'm just grateful that this somewhat inappropriate one turned out crystal clear. Ü I'm so relieved that he's healthy, and I hope he has dimples like his Daddy and brother.
