Welcome, Davis!
On Christmas Eve, Davis Jonathan Brooks was born here in Manila. He weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz, and was 19 inches long.
December 24, 2006, 12:13pm. First picture--only seconds after delivery.
Getting cleaned up right after delivery.
Me, Ellen, and Aunt Anne watch his first feeding.

Mommy and baby's late night feeding.
Mom and baby are doing fine...but we are ALL a little tired. Aunt Anne has done a great job in helping where needed. Fortunately, the nursing staff let her stay in the delivery room, so she was able to get some really great pictures. For the grandparents and relatives, these are pictures of (mostly) Davis. In the coming days, we'll tell more of the story of this Christmastime birth!

Congrats and God Bless!
So does this mean that Davis can never be President of the United States (being born out of country?)
So glad to hear Mom and Baby are doing good, and it was also good to see they kept you comfortable on the bed while your wife was walking that baby out!
I hope Lakyn comes 2 weeks early!
God Bless <>< Jason and Lindsey
p.s. I was shocked how inexpensive it was to send you a letter.. did it make it there yet?
What a surprise to hear about the arrival of your new son. Very Very Cute. The video was really good. It was also neat that your sister was there. Congratulations.

Dan and Ellen,
Thank you for letting us know the great news of Baby Davis' arrival.
We are so very happy for you both and are thanking God for the wonderful gift He has given you this Christmas.
Love, Bob and Nancy
Brooks!! That video was wonderful. We smiled the whole time and couldn't believe how much fun you were having in that delivery room - no one has that much fun :) Congrats!! We hope you two, oops...three, will stick around until we return to the PI.
Love you all!!
Nate and Val
