When the day came, he weighted in at 9 lbs, 6.7 oz.  Pretty big for a small guy, but nothing compared to Loyalty Adonis Grover!  Born near New Orleans, Loyalty weighed in at a whopping 14.1 lbs & 22 inches!

The "Big" day actually came on December 6th, but the little (giant), but mother and child spent the last 27 days in the hospital's NICU.  Mother, baby, and siblings are doing fantastic!

By the way, the largest baby ever born in Louisiana was Herman Johnson.  Born January 29, 1985, Johnson weighed 15 pounds and 14 ounces!  He was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. He played college football at LSU.
