Hello World

Just got back from an early morning trip to the hospital where my daughter Cristina just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Leena weighed in at 8 lbs. 3 oz. with a head full of hair and unbelievably long eyelashes. Mom, dad and baby are doing well. As for granddad, well he could not be happier.

Leena

    Better take the snippers to those long eyelashes before they bruise her chin.
    If this is your first grandchild, you have a whole new, wonderful world ahead of you. Best Wishes for all.

  6. Wow. Beautiful. Congrats.

  7. Jane says:

    Congratulations, Leena is so beautiful – look at that perfect little mouth, and those eyelashes are the longest I’ve ever seen on a newborn baby.

    Boys starting to hang around yet…???

    In Stevie Wonder’s immortal words:

    “Is·n’t she love·ly?
    Is·nt she won·der·ful?”

    And life goes on. Congratulations, Mario, Christina, Leena,
    and your entire family! It won’t be long, and you’ll be chasing the boys off the front porch, ’cause she’s already a magnet!

    Congrats!

  24. Sofia Velgara says:

    ohhhhh, how cute.

  25. Charlie Sommers says:

    I bet you’ll end up the same way I did when my first grandson was born. I had sworn that I wasn’t going to be one of those pushy grandparents that made everyone look at pictures of their grandchild but in a few days I was stopping complete strangers in the store in which I worked and showing them photos from my wallet. LOL

  26. dinamic says:

  30. Karen Weston says:

    Just make sure, Mario, that this isn’t the last picture you post here of sweet baby Leena. Please exercise your proud grandpa rights from time to time and update us as she grows into a fine young lady. :-)

  31. Karen, I’m not sure one could find a way to stop me from posting more pics of Leena! Thanks.She really is gorgeous but I’m sure every grandparent feels the same way about their little ones…as it should be.
