It was such a thrill to hold him for the first time.................
.................and give him a million kisses.
Proud Grand Dad couldn't take his eyes off of his grandson either! What a thrill to hold the son of your son in your arms.
It was a wonderful first Christmas for Leo, spent together with his very happy parents, and his proud grandparents and aunt.
He's two and a half weeks old and growing fast! We already miss him so much, and I have a feeling we will be collecting lots of frequent flyer miles going back to Colorado for visits as often as we are able.I hope everyone had a joyful Christmas and I hope 2009 will bring good health, good fortune and many wonderful blessings to all!

Merry Christmas to you, Pat and all at home and especially to Baby Leo. He's going to grow up strong and handsome and he's so cute. Happy New Year, Pat. May 2009 brings you lots of happiness always :D
I am busting at the cuteness of little Leo (and...he's *still* sleeping, LOL! I thought he wouldn't wake up long enough to make his grand debut. :-)
You've definitely been missed here in the blogosphere. Welcome back...though I know it must be bittersweet leaving the little guy back in Colorado. TGFFrequentFlyerMiles!
Much happiness, blessings, prosperity, peace and love in the new year. You've taught me a lot about the city I was born in this year and I thank you for that. :-)
Isn't it GREAT to be a grandma!!? Leo is adorable, an absolutely beautiful little boy! It will be fun watching him grow!
What a wonderful Christmas present!
Here's to a joyful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Pat, he is precious...and he looks amazingly just like you! I'm so happy for you all!
Pat what a wonderful Christmas you had I bet you did not want to leave little Leo, your photos are beautiful and so is Leo. Stephen is now in NYC with his friends and having a blast!. I hope your New Year celebrations are the best ever and I know 2009 will be especially happy for you all, hugs, Kathy.
We have traditional Scottish Hogmanay here so it will be very lively indeed.
So Beautiful! Your pictures are so adorable and I can tell that it must be so hard to leave him.
It's such a special time in those early weeks, and then months and then those first smiles. Oh.....
What an adorable little boy! I know it was so difficult for you to leave him. Every time I see a jet go over head i will think of your many upcoming trips to Colorado to get a baby fix!
Have a Happy New Year!
((hugs)) Rosie
...and it just keeps getting better, believe me! He's adorable. A very happy new year to you all :)
Of course he is the most adorable child ever, he is your grand son, I am very happy for you that he is such a cutie.
Very happy New Year to you and your beautiful family.
Here waiting for our own Angel.
Hello Pat...I couldn't agree more with your statement, "What a thrill to hold the son of your son in your arms"...Little Leo is a beautiful baby! Happy New Year!!
;-) Bo
What a cutie pie that little Leo is!! The photos of grandma and grandpa with him are just so touching!!
I remember when I left my little gr. girl (I'd spent the first week with her, my son and my DIL)---I just bawled like a baby all the way home!! I couldn't stop it--and I couldn't believe I could have gotten so attached, but I sure did!! In fact, she just spent the night with us Sunday (she's 2 1/2 now) and I'm ever goofier over her now than I was when I drove away from their home when she was a newborn!
Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures---so glad you had a safe and terrific trip!
Happy New Year to you!!! Dana
Very precious baby! He looks perfect! I'm sure you're missing him - it will be "long" between visits to you, I'm sure! Welcome home. PAM
What dreamy pictures of a lovely baby and his grandmum... and grandad. You look so peaceful holding him. He's a really handsome babe. I have a feeling there will be lots of visits back and forth now.
Have a happy and joy filled 2009!
Cheers, Shelagh xo
I have just discovered your wonderful blog. Your new grandchild is a cherub. I'm an upstate New Yorker (Orange County), of Italian descent, and will be back to visit soon.
Hi Pat. Belated congratulations on the birth of your beautiful grandson! Your first grandchild! Wow is he ever really, really cute, I just want to scoop him up and hold him and hold him and not let anyone else hold him....he's so precious!!
Pat, I'm not bloggin much these days but I wanted to pop over and wish you a very happy new year. well, with little Leo, how can it not be? He's truly adorable...you have all been so blessed by his birth. Here's wishing you and your family health, joy, prosperity and happiness in 2009.

It looks like you had such a wonderful Christmas filled with lots of love and sweet baby cheeks. The love you and hubby have for him shines through your pictures...so sweet.
I hope you have a wonderful New Years. Are you going to watch the ball drop from the comfort of your living room?

Rhonda
Yes, indeed, an adorable baby. I saw your comment on Strider's that you were in CO where I live now. And, better yet, you live in NYC! Oh, how I long to see NY one day. And to top it all off, you are an Italiaphile! I love Italy. Antother place I'd love to visit one day. Happy New Year to you.
I'm still amazed by how tiny they are...
What a lovely way to start 2009!

Happy new year to you and your family.
Could you be more over the moon, Grandma--what satisfaction is on your face, like you are thinking, "Whatever led me to this incredible moment in time was worth it!" What happiness!
What a precious blessing--he is absolutely darling. I know he will be well loved.
Happy New Year!
I am so happy for you. Leo is a beautiful baby. As you can tell by my blog I am crazy about my grandbaby and I don't know what life was like before Avery. Have a wonderful New Year!
Little Leo is such a doll! Look at that face! Such proud grandparents he has. I have a feeling there will be many trips to Colorado. I already know you're having a happy new year Pat!

What a Christmas present!
More than anyone could dream of.
Congratulations to you all
What wonderful photos! He is just so adorable. Again, congratulations and wishing you and yours a very happy, healthy new year!!
(I ended up making the yule log at the last minute.)
Welcome back Pat...and Happy New Year! What a little sweetie!! I'm glad you had a wonderful Christmas!
Ah, what a happy sight! He really is such a beautiful baby. A true Christmas blessing. All the best for you and for Leo in the New Year!
Little Leo is so precious!!
Wishing you a wonderful 2009 Pat Gxox
Well I have to agree with you. Leo is one of the sweetest little babies I've ever seen.
Love his stocking. Looks like it's big enough to put him in it! So cute.
It has to be hard being so far away from him. They grow up so fast. You need to get a web cam so you can see him every day.
BTW We WILL be able to reach our goals this year.
I've started today and so far this year I've been good at keeping my goal. LOL
Well they say, do it one day at a time! LOL
Hugs,
Joanne
Yippee! Wonderful family you have there. Leo is lovely!
Happy New Year!
Cathy
Leo is such an adorable baby! God bless him.
OH! Isn't he just adorable - a little bundle of soft, powdery, pure joy!
Kat
Leo is so sweet and definately looks like your son Pat :-) How wonderful that you could share his 1st Christmas. What an honour and such a special time.
Happy New Year
Oh Pat he's so adorable! And you and your hubby make the perfect grandparents!! You look so sweet with your precious angel Pat. It's a new chapter that is hard to describe until you step into it!
Happy New Year!!
Big grandma hugs, Sherry
