How cute is this. Congratulations. I am glad that the Baby and his mother are healthy. What is the weight in Kilo and Gramms? And what is the length in Centimeter? I wished I had also a Baby from you...:) How cute and lovely. Best wishes from Cora in Cologne.

Dear Lance,
this is no kidding but my name is MAX and I am a fan of Lance Armstrong which is somewhat unusual ... once you will have read that ... I'm french. So I found it just great that this is the name of your fourth child. I wish him a long and happy life.
Congratulations to you also for what you 've achieved in the Giro d'Italia (specially with your operated colar bone). I wish you all the best for the Tour de France in just a few weeks.
Max

Max is a handsome baby boy. My husband is an M.D. and his speciality is Obstetrics and Gynecology. I have seen thousands of newborn's over the years. Without a doubt Max Armstrong would rank in the top 5% in the looks department. He is strong, alert and ready to get on with this thing called life. He even has his paparazzi smile perfected a sign that he is way ahead of all the other celebrity babies. Best wishes to both of you.

Wow, how could a guy not fall in love with this Anna? -- she sounds pretty close to perfect.

Whatever else, Lance is very smart and has good taste, which I suspect he learned, to some degree, from France.

I like it when people like these reproduce.

Hope Max is guided by Anna's program.

In wilderness is the salvation of the person and the world.

Max looks like he's ready to roll down the chute.

Nice photo ... he takes after his Dad. It look like Max is giving "The Look." Max is sticking out his tongue too. I'm not entirely sure his Dad stuck out his tongue while giving "The Look," but Dad probably did too:) Congrats Lance and Family!

Lance, we met a couple of times in Ojai. I have a 1 year old also called Max who already loves bikes. Both of us parents used to race, so there is a pretty good chance that sometime in the future our Maxs will meet on the road - who knows they could even be on the same team!
"Break a leg" in the tour Lance !

Congratulations on the new birth. Do you think we will be seeing a new biking superstar in any of your children in the future? I watched the Tour de France because of you.
