Davis Larry Chase - July 14th



My one request...to go to the hospital during the daytime and deliver before we go to bed. Well, we left the house at 1:00 am on Thursday morning (July 14th) and sped up from Alpine to LDS Hospital in Salt Lake. Hey, at least there wasn't traffic! She's pretty cute, isn't she? :)

Here he is! Davis Larry Chase. Born at 1:59 pm at 7 lbs & 0.5 ounce and 21 inches long. What a handsome little newborn!

My first time holding him after he got all bundled and warm. There aren't many other moments in this life that compare to this.

Right after his first bath. All clean!
He's our precious little guy!
A little blurb on his name. Davis is my middle name and my mom's maiden name. I was really close with my grandpa Davis before he passed away, and still feel close to him now. We have had many experiences that have solidified Davis as his first name which will always remind him of the great family that he comes from. Larry is Larissa's dad's first name. He is currently serving as a mission president in the Chile Santiago East mission. He and brother Cory are the only two out of all of our immediate family that were not able to be around when Davis was born. We gave him the middle name of Larry so that Davis will always remember why his grandpa Laycock was not there, how important the Lord's work is, and also to ALWAYS put the Lord first.



President Laycock also took a picture of Davis to teach a family about the Gospel and the plan of Salvation and the opportunity to be "born again" on the same day that Davis was born. The father of the family decided to accept the Gospel and be baptized and they now keep a picture of Davis in their home to remind them of their commitment.
