Lawson and Tiffany Bates are officially parents! Sweet little William Daniel Bates has arrived safe and sound...and with a full head of hair. The first segment of his birth story was just uploaded to Lawson and Tiffany's YouTube channel.

William Daniel Bates

Expectant parents Lawson and Tiffany Bates just announced their son's name on YouTube: William Daniel Bates. This little guy will be the fourth generation to bear the name William. Both Lawson's dad and grandfather are William Gilvin Bates, and Lawson is William Lawson Bates. Erin and Chad Paine recently gave their sixth child the name William Gage Paine. And for their son's middle name, Lawson and Tiffany chose Daniel, which is Tiffany's father's name.

 

Q & A Video with Zach

Zach Bates has been filming his YouTube cooking show for almost four months now and has uploaded nearly 20 videos. In his most recent, Zach sites down to answer questions about cooking, his favorite things to eat, and family memories involving food. Have you made any Bates Kitchen recipes?

Baby Bates Coming Soon

Lawson and Tiffany Bates could welcome their first child any day now. This little guy will be Gil and Kelly Bates' 30th grandchild. In the midst of preparing for the baby's arrival, the expectant parents sat down to answer a few questions related to the birth and name, as well as schooling and other subjects. That video can be found on their YouTube video.

Harvey Gray Clark

Katie and Travis Clark's second child is due to arrive this fall, and the elated parents just announced their son's name on YouTube: Harvey Gray Clark. If you think you have heard the name Gray before, you are correct. Kolter Gray Smith, who was born in 2020, is the second of Tori and Bobby Smith's five children.

Photo Shoot with Baby Weston

We don't hear from Tori and Bobby Smith very often. They are busy living life with five children. Their youngest, Weston Slade Smith, arrived on May 29th, and Bates family photographer Lydia Bates took his newborn pictures. She and Trace recorded the session on video and uploaded the footage to their YouTube account so fans can see how much the Smith children have grown.

Check In with the Clarks

How are things going for Katie and Travis Clark, who recently moved to Tennessee? In their most recent YouTube video, they share news from their anatomy scan for Baby Boy Clark, and they play pickle ball with Gil and Kelly Bates and some of Katie's younger siblings. Later, they join Zach Bates, who is a real estate agent, to look for houses.

Another Bates Boy

'Tis the season for baby boys! The Bates family is in the midst of a big streak of grandsons. Ryker Bates kicked it off last September, followed by William Paine in October and Miles Balka in February. Weston Smith arrived just a few days ago. In early summer, Lawson and Tiffany Bates are expecting a son, and Katie and Travis Clark are due with a boy this fall. Nathan and Esther Bates are also looking forward to welcoming their second child this fall, and they just announced the gender. It's a boy! Can you believe it? 

This will make 32 grandchildren for Gil and Kelly Bates. Head over to our Birthdays page to total up now many boys and girls they have, and then come back to the comments section to report back.
