On Thursday, October 25th, my second granddaughter was born, and what a glorious day it was! Welcome to the world, Alessandra Harper Lira. Mom got through surgery just fine and Dad is over the moon happy. We all agree that Aless looks most like her daddy right now, but she DOES have the round cheeks of a Doyle baby. She has a healthy appetite too, which doesn't surprise me in the least since several of us in the Doyle family tend to eat like Vikings (nope, not naming names!).I fell in love with Aless the minute I laid eyes on her, as did her big sister Isabella. I think these two girls will always be close sisters, and I can't wait to see what life has in store for them!
Everyone has been asking for photos, so there you go. And there's plenty more where these came from!
Proud big sister!

Mazal tov to you and your children- and to your newest grandchild. May you see her grow up to be the star she will own.

DeleteI was wondering, after all the shower pictures, when she would be born. Congratulations. She's gorgeous (of course)>
ReplyDeleteI was blowing up Facebook last week with photos of her but figured I'd better stop and just post here, LOL.
DeleteYou have so adorably doubled your grands! What a precious, precious little sweetheart!

DeleteYou have a beautiful family! Thank you so much for sharing! I never had children so grandchildren aren't part of the mix, either. Brenda
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by!
DeleteI really like the name Alessandra and what a cute cuddly bub she is indeed
ReplyDeleteShe truly is---thank you!
DeleteCONGRATULATIONS! She is absolutely precious. I love those super deep blue eyes of a newborn. Those early days are so fleeting. Whenever I see a newborn I am surprised again at how tiny they are. I'm glad that the birth went well. Soak up every moment:)
ReplyDeleteIt goes by so quickly, doesn't it? Hard to believe my own were that small once.....
DeleteCongratulations, Marcia! Glad to hear everyone is doing well. A very nice holiday gift for the family. :D
