And Baby Makes Three

We are so thrilled to introduce Cooper Clements Lamb!! He was born on Tuesday, September 16, at 6:07 p.m. He weighed 7.5 pounds and was 20.5 inches long. And, he has a full head of hair!! Philip and I are enjoying every minute with him!! We are so in love with him already. Cooper is perfect in every way, and we can't wait for everyone to meet him! God is truly amazing in His gift to us.

This is Cooper's first friend, Caden William Bright. Caden is the son our friends, Steven and Erin, and he was born on Monday, September 15 at the same hospital! Clearly, we need to work on Caden's school spirit!

One last thing... On Monday evening, Philip went to the Cowboys game with several work buddies. (And, from what I hear, it was quite an amazing game!) Philip got home around 1 a.m., in bed shortly thereafter, and right back up at 2 a.m. when my labor officially began!! Cooper knew to wait for Dad to get home before deciding to join the family!

We love you bunches,

And by the way, I concede... Cooper is a much better name than "Austin Stephen Shannon Leigh Ferguson Lamb," although there's always hope for baby number two! And don't forget about "Ferdin."

Love you guys!; September 18, 2008 at 4:30 PM
