Without further ado... We are thrilled to introduce our son to you, Mr. Evan Frederick Richter! Huzzah! Huzzah! Evan was a healthy 9 lbs, 1 ounce, is 21.5 inches long, and came out excercising his little lungs vigorously! He has big 'ol feet, long fingers, and a head full of dark hair that is adorable. He still doesn't like bright lights (he rarely opens his eyes at this point), but he is soothed by both of our voices very easily.

The feedings have gone really well (we feel so fortunate), and Evan is already on a regular schedule. Where did the names come from, you ask? "Frederick" is Allison's maternal grandfather's name. After that poor guy had to deal with 4 (count 'em, four...) girls, none of them named Frederica or Fred Jr., Allison and I wanted to help his name carry on. Evan? Ummm. We just kinda like it!

Attached are a couple of pics for you all to see him at his best. I promose there will be more to come.
