Mommy's Little Helper...

Maya is my little assistant these days. She helps change diapers and everything! Just this morning, when Jonah peed all over his own face, Maya was there to bring the wet clothes to the hamper. What a little sweetie. Jonah is pretty sweet, too, so I guess they are a good match.

"Jonah likes resting on his tummy."

"Mommy says Jonah has very little feet."

"Hi, Jonah!"

Mommy, can I go in the crib, too?"

"My pee pee never sprays in the air like that. Neat trick, Jonah!"

We've got Issues...

Computer issues, that is. We finally got a new laptop, but we are having trouble accessing photos and videos, so it's a work in progress. Anyway, here's a video of Maya loving Jonah. I promise to get back to regularly scheduled programming as soon as our computers issues are fixed. Oh, and also, as soon as we start actually doing something again. We've been pretty cooped up the past couple of weeks, so there isn't anything newsworthy to report!

Big Sister Maya...

I know I've been a slacker, but hey, I have a new baby, what can I say? Anyway, I still have a million photos to post, from our stay in the hospital. Maya really loves Jonah, and she's been a great big sis so far. Even in the hospital, she gave him so much love.
"Hugs..."

"Nice work, Mommy!"

"Kisses for Jonah..."

"He's a pretty cool baby, Mommy and Daddy!"

"Mommy likes to hold the baby, and she says he might break if I drop him, so I don't really hold him too much yet."

Meet Maya's Baby...

Guess who's here?! That's right... We had our baby on Thursday morning! He was due on February 9th, but I went into labor on Wednesday evening. After a fairly quick, uneventful labor and delivery, Jonah was born at 1:51 on Thursday morning. He was 6 pounds, 14 ounces, and 20 inches long. He has been a sweet, happy, little boy, and we are so excited to bring him home in a few hours. Maya has been with my parents for the past 2 days, and she is having a blast. She has visited us in the hospital 3 times, and she loves her baby brother. I'm sure it will be different once we come home with Jonah, and my parents leave on Sunday, but for now, she is just excited to take care of her baby. She even says his name perfectly! I have a million photos and videos, but these will have to be okay for now. I'll post more soon. Oh, and for those of us who have emailed or called us - thank you! We will get back to you soon!

"When Mommy said 'good night' to me on Wednesday, she still had the baby in her belly."

"He's here! Happy birthday, Jonah!"

"Mommy says this is exactly what I looked like as a newborn."

"Censor that tushy! Jonah might be angry about this photo someday!"

"Mommy loves this baby, but she still loves me, too."

"This is Jonah's first tubby. He takes a shower, like me!"

"Grammy loves the baby, but she plays will me a lot, too."

"I don't know about this new guy..."

"Nevermind. He grew on me. I like his feet."

"Jonah has really long fingernails. He scratched up his face in the first couple of hours after he was born."

"Mommy, why is the baby so sleepy?"
