Our second grandson, son of Peter and Melanie Swanson, arrived on time. Peter graduated from Dhahran Junior High in 1986.
Gavin Derek Swanson
8 lbs 2 oz.
18.5 inches
Arrived at 1:38 pm December 28, 2003 just as predicted.
Grampa and Taita (Fred and Laurie Swanson of Dhahran) were in Connecticut, but hurried back to New Jersey early Sunday morning to make the birth in plenty of time.
We were lucky to visit mom and dad in the delivery room before and after the birth. Mom had a much faster delivery than the nurses and doctors had planned on---much to everyone's relief. Fast is good.
Gavin is a voracious eater, with a very strong neck. He is always looking around and trying to follow the sounds of voices. Taita says that he is precocious.
