Maia's First Christmas

Maia came down with a horrible cold during the night, and I was up with her every few hours to suction her out just so she could breathe. We ended up finishing up the wee hours asleep together, tummy to tummy with me sitting up on the love seat with my feet on the ottoman to keep her upright so her nasal passages didn't swell so much. We got up at about 7:30 to open presents. Her adorable Christmas Sweater... which she didn't end up wearing for long. And yes, she's licking the paper here, while showing off her plumber's crack. That's my girl! So here's the great story for this Christmas. Ray was opening this gift: (tell me that's not a perfect onesie for our daughter to have? Notice the KISS font?) Anyway. He had passed Maia back to me, from where she had been sitting on his chest. He looked down at his shirt (then gray) and it was covered by a trail of yellow poo. Oh boy, diaper blow-out! Not only had she gotten daddy's shirt, she got my pants and the back of her sweater too. So we took a break from all the gift opening to change all three of us, and burn through a LOT of wipes! So after we changed, we finally got around to getting this pic. And Ray is on the phone with everyone at Aunt Tara's house. Maia received this beautiful blanket, hand crocheted for her by Aunt Tara After all that unwrapping and pooping and all that other stuf... Maia was plumb tuckered out!
