Govan Teuku McBride Kennedy


(Guh-van Too-koo McBride Kennedy)

Born: Februrary 16, 2007 10:23am
9 pounds
56.5 cm long

Arrived safe and sound, and quite quickly too.

Govan is taken from the place where Dan's dad was raised in Glasgow, and has it's history in Welsh legends as well, which is part of Kelly's ancestry.

Teuku is an Indonesian/Acehnese name meaning Prince or Chief - it's also the name of one of the biggest heroes in Aceh history. It is also the name of a close friend from our time in Aceh.

No hyphen or anything in the last names - think about how long that would take him to write his signature!

We are still learning his language, but we believe that in this photo, just 30 minutes into his life, he was saying "No!! Any parents but these two!!"

Congrats, guys! I'm sure the photos don't convey the experience fully without the accompanying audio. :-)
Congrats, enjoy the ride. It's a bit like walking a big dog: they walk you until they're trained!
