I'm an Auntie again!

I got another nephew this week! Axton Matthew Fifield was born on Monday night. He was 5 weeks early and is really tiny, but super cute, and growing and healthy. We're so happy for him and his parents Matthew and Kristin. You can visit their blog for more pictures, but this is one of my favorites:

The name Axton, which I love, is Kristin's Great Grandmother's last name (correct me if I'm wrong) and there are no more male heirs to the name, so it has died out. I think it's so neat that they have chosen to give the name to their son. I love significant family names for babies, and Axton is just cool.

The family line goes like this:
John Axton,
Martha Loretta Axton Husbands,
Clifford Axton Husbands,
Melvin Clifford Husbands,
Kelly C Husbands,
Kristin Ann Husbands Fifield,
Axton Matthew Fifield.

So, Axton's name comes from his 4th great-grandfather, or his 3rd great-grandmother's maiden name. Just a little geneology for ya. :)

~one proud papa... Matthew

He looks adorable. I am glad to hear that he is healthy being early. He looks good and not a lot of tubes, which is a plus. I just can't believe that Addison was once that small.
I hope all is well.
