Leo - 2 days old Our first day at home was a little scary. We spent a large amount of time gazing at him and changing nappies. Breastfeeding took a little while to get established and we had to syringe feed him one night. Luckily things started to settle down after a few days. Nana Joan (Mary's mum) provided invaluable support for us during that first week - all we had to do was look after Leo.

In the blue corner, weighing in at 7lbs 2oz, is Leo Joseph De Silva. Leo was born at 9:48am on the 17 February 2007. After a five and a half hour labour, both mummy and baby were doing incredibly well. Daddy was a gibbering wreck!
