James Scott Beatty was born on September 30, 2008 at 7:03 AM, weighing 6 lbs 6 oz and measuring 20 inches long, after Amelia Elizabeth Lewis underwent 42 hours of labor. Amelia was 19 years old and still in school when she gave birth to her son James, while the father Joshua Scott Beatty was 18 years old and worked part-time at Stewarts Hot Dogs. Both parents dote on James, whose nickname is Jamey, and think he is amazing.
