Maya Claire Horan

Maya Claire Horan was born on February 2, 2010 at 6:30 pm. She weighed 8 pounds and was 20.5 inches long. Ms. Teresi says, “Her name is a combination of unique and traditional – Maya was a friend from college whose name I loved. Claire is for my paternal grandmother who was a spunky matriarch.” Though Maya may someday express traits inherited from generations long past, Ms. Teresi happily says, “She’s a little of both me and Jack – my eyes, Jack’s lips – and she’s huge, so that’s both of us.” Maya is Ms. Teresi’s first child. “She moves constantly and likes to keep us on our toes – literally, she likes to be walked around the house, the neighborhood, the mall. She’s really observant – she’d rather look at everything around her than snuggle.”

Mara Pistacchi

Mara Pistacchi was born on February 4, 2010. Her name is a diamond in the rough as Mr. Pistacchi says, “For her name, I needed a girl’s name that wouldn’t remind me of anyone I’ve taught; after 10 years at Pres that’s a tall order. I’ve never met a Mara before and we both liked the name so there you go!” Mara is also Mr. Pistacchi’s first child. He says of the experience, “Being a father is awesome, every day is a new adventure and Mara is a really sweet baby.”

Thomas Vincent Cafazza

Thomas Vincent Cafazza was born on Tuesday, March 30, and weighed 7 pounds and 5 ounces. While Ms. Cafazza notes that there are many stories to be shared about her new baby boy, she describes one of her favorites: “when I was changing his diaper (probably the 100th of the day) Thomas peed, pooped and threw up all at the same time. It was a wonderful experience!”

Mia Elisabeth Pizarro

Mia Elisabeth Pizarro was born on Sunday, October 25, at 6:50 a.m. She weighed 7 pounds and 12 ounces, and she was 20 inches long. She loves broccoli, the ABC song and sucking on her own toes, and she can’t wait to take chemistry with her good friend Mr. Wang.

Carlos Craig Cobarrubias

Carlos Craig Cobarrubias was born on Monday, April 12, at about 5 a.m. He was 21 inches and weighed 7 pounds and 9 ounces. Mr. Cobarrubias notes how he wishes he could spend more time with his new baby boy, but the time he has had with his son has been eventful. Describing one day when he was changing Carlos’s diaper, Mr. Cobarrubias talked about how unpredictable babies can be – just in the time that Mr. Cobarrubias went to grab a fresh diaper, Carlos had peed all over himself. “The poor little guy!” Mr. Cobarrubias said.

Nelson Garcia-Rodriguez

Nelson Gracia-Rodiriguez came into the world on January 31, 17 days after his sister’s birthday, after a long wait of 15 hours of labor. Mrs. Rodriguez says of her second child, “He likes when I sing to him and will respond with a cute smile. His favorite song is ‘Where is Thumbkin.’” Nelson began his first music class at 10 weeks old with his sister and “Teacher Sean’s Music Factory.” Otherwise, he enjoys walks to the park and laughs when the wind blows in the trees.

Hugh John O’Byrne

Hugh John O’Byrne was born on Wednesday, February 24, at 2:14 a.m., weighing 8 pounds and 11 ounces and just a touch over 21 inches long. While Ms. O’Byrne claims that he promises to be a big boy, she claims that being a good boy will be a whole other story!
