Although 4 weeks early, Crosby weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces, and was 19.5 inches long. He joins the family as their third son, with brothers Gibson, age 6, and Macklin, age 2.

Says mom Megan, “It was definitely a whirlwind start to our new year, having our baby 4 weeks early, and having the delivery end in an emergency c-section, but baby Crosby is happy and healthy, and we are all so grateful for him!”
