Graham Bates' Birth Story

It isn't often that we hear from Nathan and Esther Bates. On October 4th, they welcomed their second child, Graham Alan Bates, so they have spent the winter adjusting to life as a family of four. The proud parents of two just uploaded Graham's birth story to their YouTube account. You'll see footage from Esther's labor and delivery, and you'll watch the sweet moment when big sister Kenna Bates meets her baby brother. 

Graham was born 13 days before Kenna's second birthday and 10 days before Esther turned 27. Graham shares a middle name with Rhett Webster, while Kenna Joy shares a middle name with Esther, Alyssa Webster, and Zoey Webster. 

TWO Fall Bates Babies

Gil and Kelly Bates have 30 grandchildren, but that number is about to grow by two more. In October, two couples are due to deliver babies. Nathan and Esther Bates are expecting their second child, and Katie and Travis Clark are also expecting their second child. Both babies are boys, and both couples already have a daughter who is not yet two years old. Hailey Clark will be two in February, and Kenna Bates will be two on October 17th.

Baby Will Meets His Family

The latest YouTube video from proud parents Lawson and Tiffany Bates is sure to bring tears to your eyes. Baby Will meets both sets of his grandparents, and Lawson explains the meaning behind his name. Later, Lydia Bates stops by to snap some newborn photos.
