Introducing Little Miss Maia....

We've been absent from the blogging world for well over a year now - there's so much to catch up on... "Travel wise" we have been to Canada 3 times, the Grand Canyon, Mesa Verde, Las Vegas, Denver (Kylie), New York (Craig), Niagara Falls and Craig's parents visited us here in the Summer. His Mum has been back again just recently because "Life wise", we made us a baby!!!

Maia Lee Homer was born on December 28th, 2011 at 1943h. She was 8 days overdue and decided to enter the world with her bungee cord around her neck, so was born by emergency C-section. She weighed in at 8 lb 15 oz (4040 g) and was 21.5 inches long (54.5 cm). And, she's the apple of our collective eye ;-)

Here are some pics.....

Lots of people thought this was a doctor holding her when they saw this pic - that is actually Craig with the baby...

These next pics were taken the morning after she was born by a photographer (yes, we have the rights to re-post).

I woke up for this next pic and then promptly went back to sleep....

I'm sorry about that annoying "print me" graphic - it's really pissing me off too - but it's easier just to re-post from the site I'm using to order pics from.

Our little Jedi - my friend Aleta knitted her Yoda hat and she bursts into tears EVERY time we put it on her! Wimp!

One week old....

What's the point of all this hair if I can't play? Better this than the headbands and hair clips I make her wear ;-O

In her snow suit (3 weeks old)

The reason I shouldn't be allowed to shop on Etsy......

Jazzercise anyone?

All sweaty after a work out (feed)...

Five weeks old and hamming it up for the camera....
