Dominic DeCampi – the little man in the family
Meet Freeport's first baby.
Dominic DeCampi of Freeport, born on New Year’s Day, is The Leader’s first baby of the year. Dominic may have arrived a week early but he still was a nice little bundle – eight pounds, six ounces. “He was a little big,” said his mom, Jessica, “They expected him to be over nine pounds [if he had been born a week later]. Now that would have been a lot!”
Dominic is Jessica’s second child. She also has a nine-year-old daughter named Celeste who adores her little brother as long as “he isn’t screaming. When Dominic is awake, I hold him. He likes that,” explained Jessica.
In addition to the attention little Dominic gets from his mother and sister, there is a very proud grandpa – Gilbert DeCampi who refers to his grandson as DJ – short for Dominic John. “We live with my Dad and he’s just such a proud grandpa,” said Jessica.
Indeed. When the Leader called to speak with Jessica, it was Mr. DeCampi who answered the telephone. He chuckled with delight when The Leader congratulated him on the birth of his grandson.
Dominic was born January 1 at 3:33 p.m. Could these turn out to be Dominic’s lucky numbers?
“Maybe,” said Jessica. “Maybe his lucky number is one or maybe three or maybe 13. My Dad likes to play Lotto so I think he will play these numbers,” she joked.
Congratulations to the DeCampi family and Happy Birthday, little Dominic. A assortment of gifts awaits the DeCampi family including a $25 gift certificate from Piccolo Pizza; one dozen long-stemmed roses from Merrick Flower Shoppe; a $25 gift certificate from Merrick Bagel Cafe; a $25 gift certificate from Vincenté Jewelers and a one-year gift subscription from The Leader.
