Personality

Here are some pictures showing some of Maya at her cutest moments on film over the last week or so.






This one is titled, "No more pictures please!"

These two pictures show her awake and looking around. She has a tendency to wiggle sideways and watch people walk around, as she is doing in the second picture.

Thanks for the bath robe Ayla. This picture was taken after her first bath.

This is Josiah's idea of dressing Maya. I call this one, "Maya & Animal Friends"

Thanks for reading.

Mike & Mary

Mike & Mary visited us over Thanksgiving. We had an enjoyable time and Maya went through a growth spurt. She still enjoys grunting, squirming, and making some of the most bizarre faces you can imagine.

Friends & Family

Week 3 had several family & friend visits and Maya began showing some more personality. Already we can tell she has grown. Her cheeks and legs are getting a bit chubbier and she is starting to look at moving objects that are at a distance.

We know she is Monica's because she already shows signs of being addicted to the television.

Jon & Tulsi (6 months old)


Elias & Tara

Uncle Elias is already preparing lessons on real estate investing for Maya and is busy making her a full suit of baby chain mail armor for christmas. We can't wait to see her in it!

13 days old!
Granpa and Grandma Hart dropped by and helped us through the week. We took full advantage and made Grandpa do a lot of dishes, and other house work! Grandma threatened to steal Maya several times, but in the end we all agreed that when we come home for Christmas Josiah won't even try to have baby time and will instead watch from afar as Grandma plays with Maya the whole time.

Everyone is healthy, growing and learning to adjust to the new schedule. Be Well!

Maya Three Days Old

Here she is three days old and loving the world. She has been having some fits at night that has launched us right into parent hood, exhaustion and all. We are hoping the fits stop soon and other parents have assured me they will soon. I do feel bad for the people who live below us because this girl has some lungs!!! Josiah and I are both completely in love with her and every little movement and look she gives us we can't wait to share with the other person! She has just started becoming aware of her surroundings and will move her head looking for Josiah when she hears his voice. It is an amazing thing!

Welcome To Our Family!

Maya Linda Groth was born on November 3rd at 6:50pm. She took her time coming but once she arrived she was a healthy 7lbs 15oz perfect human being, alert and looking for food! Josiah and I are very happy to be home and thank everyone for all their support throughout the pregnancy, birth and following the birth. I will write more later life is a little crazy right now!!!
