A new GUU'er!

I can definitely relate! My son is 19 months old now and keeps my wife and I hopping!

Congrats on the new addition to the family! As they say, "having a baby changes everything". That statement can't be any more true...but the best change you will ever have in life! Enjoy each day...some will be challenging but well worth it!

Congrats, Eric and Liz, on the arrival of your newborn, Eva! Welcome to Parenthood and all that it brings.

I have a two-year old daughter and a one-year old son. I wanted my daughter's middle name to be VinScully, and my son's middle name to be Robinson (for Jackie Robinson), but my wife would have no part of that.

Maybe you can set up an Items For Trade section, and we can trade Eva's USC-colored knit cap for my son's powder blue cap!

Kind Regards,

Ron.

For about an hour I was pushing for her name to be LaDainian Meadowlark, but even I thought, "might be too much"

What a great addition to the holiday season Eric--- Congrats !!!

My first child was always going to be named Casey (as in Stengel) no matter what (turned out to be a daughter.) When my wife wouldn't let me name our second daughter Lisa Marie (Presley), we compromised on Carly (Simon.) I briefly considered Lancey (Alworth), but not for too long.

All the best.

In elaborating on the posts mentioning names, in a private email to Eric I mentioned how beautiful I thought his daughter was as well as the fact that I loved her name. While I didn't know what the name meant at the time of my email, I told Eric in my mind the name conjured up the image of beauty and grace.

Well, I did a name search regarding the name Eva and found out it is the Latinate form of Eve and Eve having a background of "From the Hebrew name חַוָּה (Chavvah), which was derived from the Hebrew word חוה (chavah) "to breathe" or the related word חיה (chayah) "to live". The name is therefore often translated to mean "life" or "giver of life". On one site I actually found the following: "Eva was also used to Anglicize Aoife in Ireland, an old name believed to be derived from aoibh (beauty)."

In any event, judging from the pictures, as well as the upbringing she will receive from Eric and Liz, I think my image of beauty and grace will likely be adjectives that will follow Eva throughout her life.

Sincerely,
Chris

Congratulations Eric!! December babies are special!!

I'll 2nd that...of course I prejudiced as I was a December Baby (some will still say I am).

What everyone else has already said, there is nothing more pure than the unconditional love a child brings.
