and though David has posted pictures, here is a narrated version:
these beautiful flowers were donated and looked quite lovely
(has nothing to do with the party, but they are certainly festive!)
hard to see, but there are little bees in between the ultrasound pics
Jonathan is dancing in anticipation
and he decides to be safe and vote boy & girl
and this was the final tally
Jonathan looking anxious and Daddy looking excited
YAY! It's a BOY!
And Jonathan played with the balloon while Daddy opened gifts
and Jonathan was so excited that his little brother got a mustache passy from Ben!
and they both got books from Uncle Nathan- big favorites too
Poky the Puppy
The Saggy Elephant
and the board book Harold and the Purple Crayon (a Jonathan favorite as of last night)
As for names, we haven't made a finally decision but the leading name is
Ethan Samuel Taylor
Yay! Congrats! We're so excited for you! And Jonathan is quite the little towhead! I love the name too, though I think I remember talking to you before or after Jonathan was born, and you had something different in mind (or maybe I made this all up?). Ethan is super sweet!
ReplyDeletethank you!
Deleteand we were considering James Matthew- it was my pick, but David really really wanted Samuel as a middle name (it's a traditional family name) and James Samuel sounded weird :( you aren't crazy!
I'm so excited. I wish I could have been there!!!! See, I can keep a secret! I love the name too. Oh, so HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Mommer
hahaha- SO proud of you, I thought for sure you told Miles because he texted me the day after I told you!! I LOVE YOU! hope all is going well and we can't wait to visit!
DeleteSo excited! 2 for 2! What a cute party.
DeleteBut I am a little bummed to not share hand-me-downs with you. I love the name Ethan Samuel. Something just flows about it. It sounds great to me!
me too! you have SUPER cute clothes! but we're excited for Jonathan to have a best pal, and we're so glad you like the name, I'm pretty sure it's going to stick :)
