Introducing McKinley Elaine Rebecca Blaine
Born Friday, July 1, 2011, 4:37pm
7lbs 5oz. 20.5 inches
McKinley: My great-grandfather's name, "Payton McKinley Scott", went by "Mack". Irish for "daughter of the learned ruler."
Elaine: Clint's mother's first name, my mother's middle name, and Clint's sister's middle name. French form of Helen meaning "light".
Rebecca: Our sister's first name. By blood she is Clint's, by heart she is mine. Hebrew for tied or bound to.
All fitting for this baby, our sweet little McKinley. Our lives feel so complete now that she is here. I've known for years she was coming, I'm just glad she and God finally decided it was time. I am looking so forward to discovering who she is, but not in any hurry for that time to rush and get here. I am so content to sit and dream with her all snuggled up in my arms. My favorite things about her? That she has laughed in her sleep since the day she was born, that she makes a sound like a baby goat when she stretches, that she already smiles back at us and coos, that she has her Nana's and her Daddy's one-sided grin, that she is my baby, and that she brings such a sweet feeling into our hearts and home. We are all definately wallowing in a deep pile of smit.
