Recently, the gymnastics world was saturated with the topic of babies, with the birth of another gymnastics royal baby, while a former Olympian announced her pregnancy. Jonathan Horton and his wife, Haley welcomed another future gymnast to their family, this time, it was a little girl, named Addie Lee, born February 9. Addie joins her big brother, David. Jonathan posted this picture of the happy family:

Like Simone Biles, Sam Mikulak successfully defended his national title this weekend at the P&G Championships.

There's been a slight shake-up in the roster for the men's team at the P&G National Championships. 2008 High Bar Silver Medalist and 2012 Olympic team-member, Jonathan Horton, has withdrawn from the competition. Source: NBC   Gymnastike reports that new daddy, Jonathan, is recovering from shoulder surgery last year and he is not quite competition ready yet.

Jonathan Horton is a daddy. The 2008 Team Bronze Medalist and 2012 Olympic Teammember announced via his Twitter account that he and his wife Haley, a former University of Oklahoma Gymnast, have welcomed a bouncing baby boy into the world today. Jonathan and Haley welcomed baby David Travis Horton today, what time, I am not sure, but at 11 a.m. today (I am assuming central time because he lives in Texas), he tweeted this message: Via Twitter Baby Horton has arrived! He's freakin awesome! — Jonathan Horton (@J_Horton11) June 24, 2013 Congrats to the proud parents! Via Twitter

I guess you've never really made it unless Twitter mistakenly declares you dead and you're not. It happens to the best of them. Today, it happened to a favorite gymnast who competed in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.
