“He looks like a really relaxed and relaxed little baby,” said his mother, Melissa Hennessey. “We are excited to have a little sleepy cosiness to take home to our family. I think we are all looking forward to entering the new year with a sense of peace and calm, and so far little John has certainly exhibited this calming presence for us! “
Melissa and her husband Chris Hennessey chose to call their son John in honor of Melissa’s great-grandfather, John J. McDonough. He was a former mayor of St. Paul.
