Congrats to both you and Amelie!!! Good choice of name too… Chuck. So is he going to grow up to be a FreeBSD user?

(yes yes, I know the FreeBSD daemon’s name isn’t really “Chuck”, but still…)

Hello, I had been checking into your blog on a regular basis to see if your little one had arrived. It looks like he has and gosh darn it he is cute! Congratulations to you and Amelie. I would love to drop in for a quick hello and peek at little Charlie sometime soon.

Thanks guys! He’s definitely a little schemer, plotting how he’ll get revenge for those horrific diaper changes! Aside from a “fussy time” (ok, more like “screaming devil time”) that sometimes last like 4 hours in the night, he’s a real pleasure.

We came across the Charlie name back in February and both Am�lie and I immediately liked it (Am�lie spotted it in a french name book). For about 2 weeks I kept thinking I *must* know a Charlie, cause the name seemed so familiar! Eventually when my nightly cron job from Charlie Root arrived in my Inbox, it clicked and we had a good laugh. The Charlie Root familiarity endeared the name to me even more and we didn’t even consider another name for a boy after that.

Excellent news!
Best wishes from Kim, Kara and myself.

So I guess you weren’t allowed ‘Root’ for a middle name?

Congrats. With his hands together in the picture, captions like “heee heeee what trouble will I get into now” come to mind. Glad to hear Mom, Baby and Dad are doing well…. and yeah, I was wondering where your blog went
Cheers.
