What's in a Name....Game!

So a friend at work turned me on to the Social Security Administration's Website for the most popular baby names here. Being the enginerd of the Frost family, I decided to do a couple graphs that show the ranking of popularity of our names over the past 50 years. The years are across the bottom and the rank goes from 1000th most popular name to the 1st most popular name on the left(the more popular the name, the more toward the bottom the graph goes). So check them out below:

I got to tell you, this is pretty interesting stuff. Focus your attention on the girls, you'll see the name Olivia (the red line). Notice that during the mid-1970's there is a sharp increase in rank for that name (from about the 550th most popular name to the 200th most popular name). Anybody know someone named Olivia that was pretty famous during this time??? How 'bout Olivia Newton-John?? Yep, the "Grease" lovers all named their kids after her.

Now, look at Felicity (the dark green line). Everyone knows that dreadful show, "Felicity" with Kari Russell, that was on in the late-1990's. Sure enough during this time span there is a BIG increase in the popularity of the name, and sure enough as the show got more and more boring, the name became less popular. Then it started on a increase again in 2004 (perhaps because "Felicity" is now constantly on re-run on the Women's Entertainment channel), I only know this because Emmy watches it religiously.

So food for thought....What's in a Name!

Emmy's Graduation Video!

Below is a little video/music compliation of Emmy's graduation on Friday. Sorry for the shakiness during some of it, I was sitting on bleachers and was nervous for her!!

Later... Ty

Week 8 - Still growing like a weed...

Our little baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. All is well, Mom's feeling fine, with no indication of "morning sickness" yet.
Here's what's going on this week with the lil one: http://www.babycenter.com/mybabycenter/108.html

Another busy week of work ahead, and then travel to Ohio for Memorial Day with Emmy's family and graduation of her cousin Chris from High School. Poor Allie gets to spend the weekend in the kennel :(

Emmy's Graduation!

Congratulations Emmylou! You're Awesome!

Our most favorite Mom-to-be has graduated from college with her Master of Science in Health Management!! Not only did she graduate with a 4.0, but she was honored with the Julie Mueller Graduate Award for Health Management, the highest award given by Lindenwood University for students studying Health Management! For this award, she had a speaking role at last night's commencement ceremony. Emmy read a scripture reading (Lindenwood is a Presbyterian affiliated school) in front of over 2,000 people and did a fantastic job!

Here are some pictures below from before and after (we were too far away for good photos during the ceremony). I did video tape all of Emmy's parts and will have it up on this blog soon.

For now, enjoy the pics!

The Current Frost Family

Emmy and Her Parents

There's been a Double Frost Master's Sighting!!

Took a lot of work to get to wear those "monkey suits".

Congrats Emmy!

Annoucement Movie

Hey everybody, I made a short movie with a poem to our little unborn one. It's set to music and is really awesome (in my humble opinion).

Check it out here below:

The Big Announcement!!

OK, and so the party begins!

There will be another Frost family member coming into this world in January 2007!!

Here's a couple ultrasound pictures, the first being at 6 weeks and the second at 7 weeks, which was taken yesterday!

The Little One at 6 weeks!

The Little One at 7 weeks!!

She or he is doing just fine, Mom is feeling very good, albeit a little tired. We saw the hearbeat going at an estimated 130 beats per minute, which is what it should be, and the Doc was real happy with the progress so far!

We're so glad that we can now (finally!) share our overwhelming joy with you!

Love, Ty, Emmy, Allie and "the little one"!

The day we found out pictures.

It'll be a day that we will always remember, April 23, 2006. What a day. Emmy surprised me by handing me a card that simply says, "Congrats Daddy!"

We took pictures, hope you enjoy them!

The test stick!

My Reactions!

The PROUD Parents toasting!! (non-alcoholic for the Momma of course!!)
