Did you hear the news we shared yesterday? Jadon Carl Bates made his long awaited debut, and Zach and Whitney Bates couldn't be more thrilled. We will continue to share updates of Jadon's progress in the NICU.
We just love the meaning behind Jadon's name. As many of you know, Bradley Gilvin is named after his dad and Gil (Zachary Gilvin Bates and Gilvin "Gil" Bates). And Jadon is named after Whitney's father, Jimmy Carl. Jimmy goes by JC or J, so he and Jadon share the same initials.
