Well, I am beginning to realize how tomorrow turn into two weeks or so! haha. I know a lot of you were very curious about how we FINALLY decided on a name for "brother". Even though he still gets called baby brother, he does have a name.
As many of you know, Randy and I seriously could NOT decide on a name. We weren't just saving the name till he was born, we honsetly couldn't decide. (Mom can vouch for me on that one) Madilynn REALLY wanted his name to be Austin, where she came up with that... I'm not sure. I really liked Hudson, Maddox, and Alex. Randy liked, Tate, Brock, and Randy.
Well, as I am in labor, Randy walks in.. So you like Myles? I said Yeah... and he says okay, that's going to be his name. I said no, no, no... we've made it this far, we aren't naming this child until he's born! That was pretty much the end of that.. He was born and it was like.. aww.. baby brother is here. When Madilynn saw him, she still insisted his name was Austin!
The first night, we were just typical parents, oohing and awing over him, not really thinking about the name game.
We had breakfast, and we were calmed down and Randy says okay, I've made a decision. We are going to let HIM pick his name. So, I said. fine. Sounds good. Randy gets some paper and says whats your favorite name? I said Hudson, so he begins to write it down. (You see where this is going, huh) The final names were, Hudson, Myles, Cannon, Camden, and Austin. He puts them all in his hat... Grabs baby brother and says, choose your name. Well, as many of you know the dexterity of a 12hour old baby isn't too good. So he plays around with that for a while, and he finally says.. Okay Mommy's going to choose your name. ( At this time we should have pulled a 3rd party in) Anyways, So all the names are folded up and I choose Hudson. Randy then begins to tell me that I somehow "cheated". So he holds the hat above my head and I choose Hudson AGAIN. He then tells me I cheated AGAIN. (And you probably see where this is going) I was getting frustrated and I liked all the names in the hat, So the third time I choose Myles. So Randy says well, Myles it is. (That was his first choice of the day)
I think we could have avoided the whole name game by him just saying, Andrea I really like Myles.. And I would have said Okay. Anyways, his middle name is Scott after Randy's brother that lives in Portland. He is an amazing person and I'm so glad that we decided to name him after his uncle.
