Leo Francis Dionne

Hi All!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  For the past 9+ months we have been patiently awaiting the arrival of our son, Leo Francis Dionne.  He finally made his debut on Tuesday, January 22nd at 11:57pm.  He was very kind to me and came a week early.  We are so happy he's here!  His birth was very similar to his sister's, which, overall, was a wonderful experience.  I feel so proud and accomplished- and glad it's over now!

The main difference between Leo and Greta's birth, was that Leo weighed in at an impressive 10lbs, 10oz, while Greta was a "delicate" 8lbs, 7oz.  He was just an inch longer than her, at 22".  We were all shocked at how big our little guy is, but just over the moon happy that he's here and healthy!

Greta is doing so well as a big sister.  She comes over to Leo, rests her head on him and says "I wove you, baby Weo."  She has told me to put him down so we can play, though.  Oh, okay!  Good thing he only sleeps, eats, and poops at the moment!  We're so happy that Craig has two weeks off- I'm just hoping this is the slowest week ever.

On to some pictures!
