What's in a Name?

If I had a dime for every time someone asked what we were naming the baby, I could certainly get a head start on his college fund!  Mind you, I don't mind the question at all; I just am aggravated that after 8 months of pregnancy, I still don't have a definitive answer.  I was always dumbfounded when people couldn't name their babies. I mean, come on- how hard can it be? Victoria and Molly were fairly easy choices. But this baby- not so much. There is a family tradition in the making to have boys named with initials JCR. So I happily embraced the idea thinking that narrowing the field of choices down by initial letter would make the naming process even easier. In some ways, that was the case. We decided immediately that our boy would carry his father's (grandfather's and great-grandfather's) name and be called by his middle name that would start with a C.

I am still a little undecided, but the current verdict with all other members in the household is Colton. Other choices we mulled over during the pregnancy were Cullen, Cameron, Caleb, Cody, and Christian. I am certain we will make the right choice in the end (at what is looking to be the very last minute!)

Here are some pics of the nursery. It is a work in progress, but I admit that I love the vintage cowboy theme. Enjoy!
