Leo the Lion Sleeps Tonight

May I introduce you all to the wonderful, the elusive:

 Leo Frederick Strauhull

10lbs, 6oz., 21.5inches, 15" head circumference 

Ater a long and difficult process, Margot and I have finally have .... a name.  Yes, labor was difficult.  But naming your child can be a stressful process.  If you don't believe me, check these articles in the NY Times:

Hurricanes and Hot Baby Names

In the end, we made a decision.  We named our big baby boy, Leo Frederick.  Frederick is Margot's Grandfather's name.  Our first child's middle name Lyle was my Grandfather's name, so it seemed only fair and a link to the past.

As far as Leo, we ended up here in part to because of the fact that Leo basically means Lion.  Its a cuddly but strong name.




Plus he kind of looks like a lion, can you see the similarity?
