Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan have welcomed their second child, a daughter named August, the pair announced in (of course) a Facebook post Monday afternoon.
“Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter August!” Zuckerberg wrote in the caption of a life event status update.
The Facebook founder also included an open letter to his newborn child. When the pair’s first daughter was born in 2015, Zuckerberg shared a letter and announced the creation of the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative for “advancing human potential and promoting equality.” So in this second letter, he reinforces the kind of world he hopes his kids can grow up in: one with “better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality.”
But with his second daughter, Zuckerberg seems to have a new set of concerns too. He admits he worries she might “grow up too fast.”
“Childhood is magical,” he wrote. “You only get to be a child once, so don’t spend it worrying too much about the future. You’ve got us for that, and we’ll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.”

As Select All points out, now it’s time for him to get cracking on that whole curing-cancer-in-his-children’s-lifetime thing.
