It’s a Boy!

by | Jan 11, 2010 | Kids, Life | 19 comments

Robbi and I are pleased to announce that our son, Kato Davies Swanson, was born at 3:40am today. We got to the hospital around 3:00, and things proceeded quickly from there.

Kato (pronounced caw-to, not kay-to) weighed in at 7lbs, 2oz. He is healthy and eating (and now sleeping).

We’ll post more tomorrow (got to get some sleep now), but we wanted to share the good news. And a few photos, of course.

Here’s the little man.

And with his happy mama, who did all the hard (and remarkably efficient) work.

Much more to come…
