Welcome Nathaniel McKay Loden


While Nate is at the hospital with Raquelle and Nate Jr, suffering www withdrawal, Papa Loden is clicking the keys to let you join in our celebration of the arrival of Nathaniel McKay. What a stunningly handsome lad, long and lanky at 21 and a half inches, weighing in at 8 lbs 8 ozs, that makes him a keeper! Quiet and reserved, he cried a little when he was born but then hushed right up and began to check out his new environment. Eyes opened and following any movement around him, he is the spitting image of his Dad and Mom (both of which are doing just fine). The nurses tried to get him to cry again (for a lung check) but he passed on the opportunity (when his dad acted that way, we called it stubbornness). It's easy to see that he is happy to check things out, and, not wanting to sleep, he is surprisingly alert. If I could just figure out how to post a picture....

Congratulations from the woods of CT!!! Jenn and I woke up and had to beg for a computer to check the blog. I can't wait to meet the newest Auburn Tiger Cub.

Thank you for allowing me to come and welcome little Nathaniel to the world. He is adorable and so even tempered. You both did good!!

He’s adorable!!!! However, a slight correction needs to be made to the description. I believe his name is Nathaniel and not Nate Jr. If Raquelle wanted him to be called Nate junior she would have named him that. Let’s do something right for once and call him by his correct name!

He actually is a cute baby and I'm not just saying that because I have to, though I do have to...you know. I think you should have him go ahead and commit early to play football for the Auburn Tigers in 2025. He has good size, but is he fast?
