Yesterday was a great day for babies! In Colorado, baby boy Grayson was born to mom Mollie, dad Rob, and big sister Kelty (see blog post 'Preparing Soup' on November 16). In Nigeria, little Chris’s mom had a sonogram and learned that the baby they’re having in January or February is a healthy little girl.
I asked dad Daniel what they’ll name the baby and he said it’s not Nigerian custom to talk about it before the birth. After the baby’s born, the new mom and dad pray over the baby and decide the name. Then eight days later they have a naming ceremony at the church. Before the ceremony, friends and family come over for small celebrations so the parents need to have Coke and other special things on hand to offer their guests.
Anyone want to go to Mollie's with me for a Coke?
