Beautiful Boy

Robert Lennon Whiting
Born at 8:53 pm on November 7th, 2008
8 lbs 7 oz, 22 inches
When we saw our new boy for the first time, both Dave and I had the song "Beautiful Boy" by John Lennon playing in our heads... so we decided to name him Lennon. And, indeed our little Lennon is just that. We named him Robert after Dave's father and elder brother, who we admire and love.

We've been waiting and waiting for these pictures. He's perfect and oh so beautiful and we're so sad we're not there to cuddle and kiss him. He's just too precious and it is seriously painful not to come on over and see him. We love you guys and are thinking of you constantly!!!

WOW!! Tears to my eyes for how perfect he is! Robert is a good stong name (one that was on our boy list too) and Lennon too!!! I sent you a gift in the mail and it didn't let me put a card or gift wrap it!!! So when you get a little outfit in the mail, it's from stupid Trisha and fam. So glad your doing good and I hope the recovery isn't too bad. Love ya
