  American singer-songwriter Mandy Moore and husband Taylor Goldsmith have announced the birth of their first child, February 24, Wednesday.

  Moore has posted two photos on her Instagram account: one on the day of birth, and the other is about the name they gave the child, “August.”

  “Our sweet boy, August Harrison Goldsmith. He was punctual and arrived right on his due date, much to the delight of his parents. We were prepared to fall in love in all sorts of brand new ways, but it goes beyond anything we could have ever imagined,” Moore wrote.

  She later explained the anatomy behind the child’s name. “It was last August when @taylordawesgoldsmith and I found out we were having a boy (it’s also Taylor’s birth month) and we always loved the name… so it was settled very early on in our book. Then for our anniversary in November, T gifted me with this blanket with the “A” (for Amanda) made from extra material from my wedding dress and “T” (for Taylor) from his wedding shirt. Felt like a very fitting amalgamation of our whole story. I can’t wait to pass this on to our sweet August one day.”
