Great Uncle to a Swedish Baby

My sister called yesterday morning to announce the arrival of her first grandchild. The little guy was born to nephew Mark and niece-in-law Anna, who are residents of Sweden. Thus, I am now a great uncle to a Swedish baby. Paula and Ron couldn't be more proud, of course, and we join them in their happiness. Pictures were sent this morning, and I post them below for your enjoyment. A name is still pending, and vital statistics were initially only available in metric units, because, of course, Sweden is enlightened with regard to simple, useful, measurement systems. Paula informs me, however, that the young boy is about 7 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches, for those of us who still think in archaic English systems.
