Here he is with his Gran-Nanne who arrived literally in the nick of time (as I went into labor right when the driver was texting Mike that it was time to head to the airport to pick Gran-Nanne up! Luckily our friend Alison jumped in the van and found her at the airport!!). Here she is meeting her grandson for the first time:
Bobby's name comes from our families. He has great uncles on both sides with the name Robert-- one of whom, Bobby McKenna, is still alive and promising baby sitting services as we speak. (HA!) In addition, his Gran-Nanne's maiden name (Kate's mom) was Roberts. The De Filippis of his middle name comes from the last name of his Italian Great-Grandmother (Mike's Grandmother)-- we wanted something Italian since Mike and I met and were married in Rome. We gave him the last name Branch because McKenna-Branch seemed hard to learn how to spell-- and if he is anything like his Mom, spelling won't be one of his signature strengths :)
Although he has this great new name, he knows that many of you might still want to call him "Twig." That's fine by his us- but here's what he had to say about it:
