Leo Alexander arrived on August 10, 2025 at 2:59 PM, weighing 7 lbs 9 oz.

Emily did amazing and both mom and baby are doing great. We’re so excited for big sister to meet him soon and share in the joy of this special moment. She’s already planned out their Disney classics lineup.

This second birth was much easier for me—thanks for asking!

Here are some more pictures.

Our family feels complete with Leo’s arrival and we’re grateful for the love and support from friends and family. Moments like these remind us of the beauty of family and new beginnings.
