As The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth to Prince George — now third in line to the throne — on Monday, three Aurora families welcomed their very own princes and princesses at Southlake.<\/p>\n

Among them were Andrea and Jay Vroom, and big sister Grace, who welcomed 8lb 14 oz James William into the world at 10.11 a.m., beating the little prince by just a couple of hours.

\"The

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have named their son “Prince George Alexander Louis”.<\/p><\/div>
\nJames had been one of the hotly tipped names for the Prince according to British bookmakers, but the name simply appealed to the Vrooms.<\/p>\n

Two Aurora girls also share their birthdays with James and George and, in total, Southlake welcomed \u201cseven princesses and three princes\u201d on Monday, according to Judy Murdoch of Southlake. <\/p>\n

Following Monday\u2019s Baby Boom, Aurora leaders offered congratulations and a few words of wisdom to the new parents:<\/p>\n

MP Lois Brown:<\/strong> \u201cI am thrilled for them. I remember when my first child was born and there is nothing like it in the world. My advice to them would be to enjoy every moment because the babies grow up so fast. Of all the things I have done in my life, being mum is the very best, so just enjoy every moment. <\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to all of the new parents and welcome to these wonderful new miracles. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think this is a wonderful new addition. Kate and Will really made an impression when they came on their first royal tour here and I think there is a lot of affection from Canadians to them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

MPP Frank Klees:<\/strong> \u201cI add my congratulations and best wishes to the Duke and Duchess as they assume the responsibilities of parenting. That is difficult enough, let alone the little bundle is third in line for the throne!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Mayor Geoffrey Dawe:<\/strong> \u201cCongratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the safe arrival of their baby son. Parenthood is a blessing that bestows a lifetime of joy, fulfilment, and pride. My advice would be to enjoy him for his individuality \u2013 and don\u2019t spoil him too much!\u201d
