New Life restores LOVE

Born 7/17/12, Aaliyah Palmtag weighed in at a huge 6 lb. 12 oz with a 19 inch length, head size 19 and lots and lots of hair.

Of course to a grandmother, she is perfect and adorable and all the other stupid things grandmothers are allowed to say.

She was welcomed into the world by family and friends of which she has more than her share.
