First Halloween

Maia's first halloween was spent in doors and mostly in Grandma's lap, avoiding a pumpkin hat, and eating Grandma's arm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had a good time hanging out and Maia sure was the cutest trick-or-treated of the day!

Grandma Gottfredson, Grandma and Grandpa Dahlin's Visit

A week after my mom left, we were visited by Sean's family. This was their first meeting of our sweet little Maia.

Grandpa is a natural! I guess he has had lots of practice :)

Getting a bath from Grandma.

Unfortunately while the family was out here, we all got sick. I got it first, then Sean, Maia, Sean's Mom and then Sean's dad got it on his way home. Since we were a bunch of sickies, we had a lot of snuggle time with Maia and just relaxed.

 

 

While the family was here I took them around the town and we had some fun taking pictures and posing for them.

 

 

 

 

 

After walking around Southern Virginia's campus, we went to support Sean as he did the stats for a home volleyball game. It was fun and Maia pretty much slept the whole time.

 

 

Once the game was done, we went home, relaxed and the in laws had the some more snuggle time with miss Maia.

 

 

Saying goodbye is always the hardest...

  

We loved the time that Dad and Grandma spent with us and can't wait to spend more time with them!

Nonna's Visit (My Mother)

It was so great having my mom come and help out the first few days being home. Being a new mom and dealing with recovery is much easier with some help.

 

Leaving the hospital they mentioned that Maia was a little jaundice and that we would need to have her checked on Friday. Her numbers were still high so we set her in the sun on my bed to help with the jaundice. I do have to say, the first time she had her foot pricked and I cried right there along with her. It's not fun seeing your child in pain but the next time was a little bit easier.

 

Fun little snuggles and sweetness.

Getting dressed for Sunday.

Going for a drive.

On Sunday we took my mom for a tour of the town and the views.

Again it was really nice having my mom here and for all her help!
