Hamilton Ibrahim Whitney

We've got a baby boy! Hamilton Ibrahim Whitney was born today at 4:48 p.m. and weighs 8 pounds, 6 ounces and measures 21 inches long. He and Jenny are both doing well.

Hamilton's names are taken from Freeman's family (Hamilton was his grandmother's maiden name) and Jenny's family (Ibrahim is her mother's maiden name). For those new to the name, Ibrahim is pronounced "Ib-ruh-heem" and is the Arabic equivalent of "Abraham."

We praise God for his continued goodness in blessing us in this way. Praise be to our great God.

Congratulations, Freeman and Jenny! We had lentils, basmati rice, and chicken in honor of your little guy. And we celebrated his arrival by baking a cake. Happy Birth Day, Hamilton!!!

He looks like dad in the picture where he is sticking out his tongue.

Can I call him Hammy?

"he is soooo cute!" and already with an attitude. That's the spirit, I like him already.

This is a big welcom all the way from United Arab Emirates. I'm very happy for three of you, and I just can't wait to come to Chicago and see you and your little cute guest.Make sure he knows as much as possible about tant Nihal and her gang(Muhammad, Ameer, Ayman, Hudaaaaaaaaa, and Halaaaaaaaaaa).May God bless all of you.

It's clear he gets his good looks from his uncle...hint: I don't mean Sharif.

May God bless and protect Hammy and make him one who pleases Him.
