There's no better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with a new arrival to our family. Baby Boy Richmond was born at 5:05 am this morning and everyone is doing fine. Alicia went into labor last night and, even if it took a few hours, the baby is happy and healthy and incredibly cute. They even look good without any sleep!My sister has usually had fairly quick deliveries, so the whole family went up to the hospital last night. Everyone was waiting on pins and needles for their new little brother. As the night passed into morning though the boys lost steam and were ready to head home. It didn't hurt that Liam had an accident while he was sitting on my dad's lap. When someone pees, it's always time to leave. Chloe made it through the night and was in the room as her little brother entered the world. She was hoping he'd be a she, but science won out this time and the baby was not the little sister she'd wanted to meet.
You may notice from the pictures that Baby Boy Richmond has a cleft lip (and a cleft palate). Like Coleton, this little guy will need to have a few surgeries to fix the clefts, but he'll be good as new in no time. The only real problem for my nephew is that he doesn't have a name yet. Alicia and Evan couldn't decide on a moniker for the little guy and now it's up to you. Here are the possiblities for Baby Boy Richmond:- Finn
- Hudson
- Beckett
- Quinn

Congrats to the family! He's quite cute. My vote is for Quinn.
I vote Quinn, too. It sounds best with Richmond.
My sister's middle name is quinn, like the song, Quinn the Eskimo.
You forgot to add Liam's choice--Fluffy Polka-dot. He was telling everyone he met that "Fluffy" was his little brother's name.
They are all darling names, but I like Quinn too. He is a doll. Oh how I love the newborn, I can almost smell his sweet scent. Congrats to Alicia and Family!!!
