Fiona Eileen Riso


This page is for our second daughter, Fiona.  Fiona was born on February 18, 1998, her daddy's birthday.  She was 7 pounds, 8 ounces and 19 1/4" long.  She was born in the Year of the Tiger and she has the personality to match (her first "official" sound besides crying was a growl).  When Fiona smiles, she lights up the entire room and when she's not happy, the whole family is unhappy.  She loves playing outside with bubbles and her big sister Anna.  She has already learned to give Christina "gentle, baby kisses".  We thought we made a mistake when we learned that Fiona meant "fair and light" in Gaelic, because she looked like the Italian side of the family when she was born, but she has since grown into her name and has very fair skin and light hair.  Fiona's godparents are her Aunt Kathy (Daddy's sister) and Uncle Jonathan (one of Daddy's brothers).
