Charles Augustus Robison was born November 11, 2002 in San Antonio,TX, He weighed 8 pounds, and 13 ounces. He was 21 inches long. Emily and Charlie decided on Augustus for his middle name because of their favorite character in Lonesome Dove. But Emily calls him Gus. Gus was with Emily on the Top of the World Tour, along with lead singer of the Dixie Chicks Natalie Maines son Slade.

Gus Facts from DCF.net :

The Chicks had played two dates in Las Vegas, so they had a party after the show on the first night, and Emily said there were all kinds of people there, including some Vegas showgirls in full costume. She said her 8-month-old son Gus was there and they posed him in between two showgirls. He was staring back and forth at them. Emily kidded the showgirls had some assets that she didn't have. She then said to Gus, "Just remember, Gus, what goes on in Vegas, STAYS in Vegas."

~ Emily has said that Charlie has German/American roots and wanted to name Gus "Otto Balthasar." Of course, that didn't happen.

~ Emily found out that she was pregnant with Gus when she was in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Gus and Slade are fans of Dora The Explorer and they went and saw the show in Phoenix. They danced and sang the whole time.

Gus is a whopping 26 lbs. at 9 months old (big daddy!) and he loves to dance. Put on a funky beat and he will dance like nobody is watching. You might have seen him on the side of the stage with the big earphones on, clapping to the fast Bluegrass songs. It's kind of scary how rhythmic he is. - DixieChicks.com 08.21.03

[The Laporte Herald Argus (Indiana)] When banjo and dobro player Robison gave birth to her first child, Charles Augustus, last month the other Chicks were in the delivery room. Sounding a bit tired, but still elated the day after the birth, Maines says, "It was wonderful. I was the black-and-white photographer, and Martie had the video camera. Emily is good. We just left her room."

And he goes, 'Don't worry I never had any problem with anybody calling me Chuck twice."08.26.02

-- My due date is Nov. 14, notes Emily. We're having a boy. Most likely his first name will be Charles, after Charlie, referring to her singer/songwriter hubby, Charlie Robison. But we could call him by his middle name, which we haven't decided yet. Emily has decided about the new nursery. We're remodeling our home and the nursery is being worked on right now. I'm excited about it, and I'm waiting on my nursery furniture.Her pregnancy has gone very well. Even so, it's a roller-coaster ride, she confides.You go through periods of testing, which are nerve-racking. But he's healthy, so I just say my prayers every day.Country Weekly
