AND THE WINNER IS...



After much heated discussion, Lynn's final submission was Will Kalana Westbrook and Ben's was Eddie Kapono Westbrook. Due to an inability to agree, however, we went to the archives and dug out the name as inscripted below. "But wait! Cruz wasn't one of the choices!" Yes, I know. But after so many scathing comments by our family and friends of the names we loved we no longer felt good selecting from that pool. Just kidding. We appreciated all the comments. But now that his face isn't all squished anymore, he just looks like a Cruz to us. And in case you are wondering, Kealoha is Hawaiian for "the love" which seemed appropriate to us. Plus, now we can ask, "Where is the love?" and it has a whole new meaning. So there you have it.

Thanks for all the contributions.

Thats awesome and a good story to tell the little gent! Love the name, we actually had a dog named Cruz if you remember him. Good unique name. And love that dark hair!

For the love! What a cutie!!!! Can't wait to meet the little man someday. Miss you guys! Will call soon to plan cross country play date!

April said...

He is amazing. Congratulations. I cant believe you had 12 hours of labor then a c-section. I tricked myself into thinking that 3rd labors are easy. Now I'm scared. I'm due June 19th. Love ya!

Dorothy said...

Both the baby and his name are super cute. Congratulations. We love you.

Suzanne said...

And you wondered what this one would look like...like the other two -- absolutely gorgeous! Welcome, Cruz!

Kathleen Ainsworth said...

He looks like a Cruz. I hope the labor went well!!!

Kathleen Ainsworth said...

Ok, so I guess I needed to read more throughly. Lot's of labor and then a c-section doesn't sound good to me.

Tim said...

YEAH! What a cute boy! How fun to see your family grow. Keep 'em comin' ;-)!

The Jones--trying to keep up said...

Look at all that black hair!! Just like your other babies. I love the name Cruz. I wish the Jones' were cool enough to pull off a name like that, but alas, we have country roots. Cruz...that's SMOOTH! Congrats! (I'm glad that your heated discussions have come to a happy end.:)

Ruby in the Rough said...

That is one crazy name! :D He is a gorgeous baby! I can't wait to meet him.

Did you read the part on the back of the birth certificate about the four years of enlistment at age 18.

Tami said...

I knew a boy named cruz. His parents gave him that name because that's were he was conceived. Were you on a cruise 9 months ago? He's super cute, and I like the name.
