Nico 小彬 (Xiaobin, sounds like “Sheeow-been”) was born on February 21, 2008 at 10:28 pm during the Lantern Festival fireworks. General consensus is that he’s the spitting image of his father, though yours truly thinks he looks like one of the gelflings from the 1980s creepy Jim Henson movie, “The Dark Crystal”.  A proper update with more information than you ever wanted to know about giving birth in China and a disgusting number of pictures will follow sometime in the next few days. Aside from that, mom, dad, and muppet are all doing fine. 虎猴 the cat, however, is a little traumatized.
