Colorado Congressman Jared Polis and his partner Marlon Reis announce that they are now the proud parents of an infant boy born today.

The couple's birth announcement says the boy's name is Caspian Julius. His birth weight is eight pounds and 12 ounces.

"Baby and parents [sic] are doing well," the announcement says, "baby has learned to cry already!"

Polis, D-Boulder, said this June that the couple expected [sic] to have a baby in September. The congressman said at the time that most details would remain a private family matter, and there were few new details offered today. [If he's announcing it, and sending the poor child's photograph to the media, then it's a very public matter. If he had wanted it to be private, he would have kept it … private.]

"No gifts please," the birth announcement says, "just nice thoughts for Caspian, humankind, the planet, and the universe!"

Here's to that, Caspian. Welcome to the world.
