Maddux Henry Winegar

Baby brother has a name!

The story behind the pick:

Henry is Spencer's maternal Grandfather's name. Henry was our favorite, but this dark boy is too rugged for such a tender sounding name.
We like to get our name ideas from our favorite past time, TV. Cooper's name came from the actor Bradley Cooper (Alias). When Spence suggested Cooper I laughed at him, but it soon grew on me.
A few months ago Spence suggested Maddux. Greg Maddux was the pitcher for the San Diego Padres in 2007-2008, and is one of the greattest pitchers of all time. I actually really liked the name, but it was never seriously at the top of the list.

Thursday in the hospital while all alone with baby brother, I called him Maddux 3 times unintentionally. It was then we started considering the name, and it seems to fit him perfectly!

Julie,
I'm sorry I'm the worst visiting teaching companion / some form of a cousin / friend. I didn't know you had your baby until the day before you blessed him! He is SO precious. I really think he is the cutest little boy I've ever seen. All that hair! I also adore his name. It fits him really well. Congratulations.......very belated.
