Mono Mills couple starts year with new son  Amanda and Keith Welner with Daxton. By Bill Rea If everything had gone according to plan, Daxton Gregory Welner would have arrived in the world today (Thursday). But young Daxton was apparently in a hurry, so he arrived at Headwaters Health Care Centre at 11:41 a.m. Jan. 3. According to the best information available, Daxton is the first new resident of the Town of Caledon in 2016. He's the first child of Amanda and Keith Welner of Mono Mills. His father said they were caught a little off guard when his wife started having contractions, and they decided it was best to head to the hospital. “Forty minutes later, he was out,” he said. “It was all natural.” “He was healthy and happy and I felt absolutely useless, because I didn't do anything to help,” he added. Daxton weighed in at seven pounds, one ounce, and his father said he measured at 19.5 inches. Daxton is not a common name. According to some sources, it originates from a town called Dax in France. Welner said it also has English and German roots. “We had looked through hundreds and hundreds of names, and nothing stuck with us,” he remarked, adding they also went through possible names on their own, and both came upon Daxton independently. “We liked it because it was unique,” he said, observing there aren't many babies in the world named Daxton. He also said the boy will probably be known as Dax as he gets older. Daxton's middle name is Gregory, which Welner said is his father's middle name. The grandparents are Heather and Warren Welner of Caledon, and Rick and Teresa Bird of Cocoa, Florida. Welner was born in Montreal, and said he considered dressing Daxton in a Habs jersey. “He's going to be a hockey and lacrosse player,” his dad predicted. -30- |
