  1. My husband liked it first. His mom almost named him Forest. We were still deciding when Forest decided to come about 8 weeks premature. In the hospital I kept thinking about the opening line in Forrest Gump “life is like a box of chocolates.” Fell in love with the name and the kid. It suits him very well.

  2. Hoping it turns into him loving the outdoors as much as we do
