The boy. Rainer Thomas Richard Kuhn. 9lbs 11oz. The doctors first words: "Oh boy, he's huge!"

Childbirth proves three things conclusively: Woman are way tougher than men. Babies are awesome. My wife is perfect.

He's named (partially) after the poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Though we say his name like it sounds in American Engrish: Ray-nur. His nicknames include Bubba, Ray-Ray, and the Nuhr. You can call him what you like. He's awesome, though, so no crude jokes.

You can, of course, buy him X-mas presents. He likes Cubs jerseys and Sirius Radio.
