Miguel DLP is ‘Papi’ again as he, associate expect baby girl

babyregistryToday, Baby DLP refers to someone other than the youngest brother in the well-known political family.

But Papi DLP still refers to the oldest.

Congratulations go out to Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla (R-Coral Gables) and his longtime associate/assistant Elinette Ruiz — who are expecting a baby girl in July.

The parents are registered online at thebump.com, which lists both a Pottery Barn registry and a list at buybuybaby.com. Ladra is getting them some of the cute stuff with lambs on it.

This will be child número cuatro for Miguel DLP, 52, who has two boys in their 20s and a daughter in senior high school with first wife, Mari. It is reportedly Ruiz’s first child.

But we already know these two work well together.

A very successful lobbyist, Miguel DLP and baby mommaDLP took Ruiz with him when he jumped from Becker and Poliakoff to the national firm, Ahrnstein and Lehr in 2013. Note: He did not take CJ Gimenez — the county mayor’s son also worked in his office — with him.

Last year, the DLP/Ruiz team won a big victory for The Congress Group, one of the country’s leading real estate land owners, developers and asset management firms, when they got the Doral City Council to unanimously approve zoning and land use approval of a mixed use development project consisting of 631 residential dwelling units and 60,000 square feet of commercial uses on one of the city’s largest tracts of land.

Let’s hope that the power couple’s lobbying efforts are as effective when it’s time to get their baby girl to go to sleep.
