Christopher Patrick Eckert was born at 2:31 p.m. on Saturday, August 21, 2010. He is 9 pounds 1 ounce and 21 inches long. Mom and baby are both doing well. We decided to induce labor and as such had a relatively long process at the hospital.

Christopher now shares a birthday with Count Basie, Jack Buck, Wilt Chamberlain, Kenny Rogers, Archie Griffin, Kim Cattrall, Jim McMahon, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Usain Bolt. His birth joins the following famous events which took place on August 21: The first Lincoln-Douglas Debate (1858), the birth of the Green Bay Packers franchise (1922), Babe Ruth’s 600th Home Run (1931), and Hawaii becoming the 50th State (1959). August 21 is also the feast day of Roman Catholic Saint Pope Pius X.
Grandparents Tom and Mary Ann Burns were in town for the special day. Grandparents Leo and Sandy Eckert are on the way. Thanks to all for your prayers and support!
