My son is here!
His name is Charles Oscar "Thor" Taylor, but his friends call him Charlie. Attached is a photo using digital chronology to show you what he'll look like around age 10.
As for the origins of his name, Marie was always touched that her mother wanted to name her children Charles after her father, but unfortunately, had no boys to bestow that name. She also loved the name Oscar, and for awhile we thought that might be the winner. But when Marie found out that my great grandfather from Sweden was named Charles Oscar, it was fate. Great Grandpa Charlie Johnson immigrated to Kansas City and built a house that is still owned by the family - and little Charlie will certainly visit there someday soon. With a great grandfather on one side and a great great grandfather on the other, we expect that Charlie will be... great!
As for vital stats:
Charlimus Aurelious was born at 12:14pm, and weighed in at 7lbs 13oz of pure manliness.
Little Charlie is 19" long and has a fuzzy little head. He's not quite as hairy as Lily was - she was a werewolf compared to him. However, I know Charlemagne is just biding his time, waiting for his chest hair to grow in.
Also unlike Lillimus, his eyes are open quite a bit, and he's looking around to see who's talking. In short, he's 100% undiluted awesome.
Also, he has no teeth.
We're in love with him, and once Marie heals up from having all her parts rearranged, it's party time at the Taylors'.
One word of caution: He doesn't like to be called Chuck.

Congratulations!!!
Charlie is a great looking baby. He seems so comfortable with his Grandpa that he doesn't even wake up when he is held for a long time.
Thank you!!
