Baby Baylor

BAYLOR EVAN NELSON
It was a crazy ride the last couple weeks of carrying Baylor.  There were birthday parties, cousins and a business trip that made me hope he wouldn't come on those days and then when I was ready for him he was content to stay inside.  My induction date was changed a time or two but before I could get induced this little sweetheart decided to come on his own.
From the time I arrived at the hospital until he was born was just under 3 hours. And he was good enough to wait to come until after midnight (1:02 am) so he and sister Mallory didn't have to share birthdays :)
 He weighed 8 lbs 10 oz and was 21 inches long.
 He has the perfect amount of hair and it's a pretty brown mixed with yellow and a hint of red.
 He has little chubby cheeks and a cute nose.
 He is a very calm baby.  He rarely cries and is easily comforted.
As I was looking through hundreds of baby name lists I really like the "B" names. When I read the list of names to Kody and the girls the girls yelled "yes" when I said Baylor.  I like it because it isn't a very common name but is still easy to spell.
Baylor's middle name Evan is because Kody and I both had grandpa's named Evan.  And though Baylor is not named after a piece of farming equipment we do like that it is a little tie to his great grandfathers' farming roots.
We are so in love with this sweet  baby boy and are so glad he is part of our family!
