This sweet yellow blanket from Maya's grandmother Ursula (Nick's mom) shows up in many photos for good reason - she was hardly ever not wrapped in it for her first few weeks! It continues to be a favorite. I made the little white hat for her, but like almost all her other hats, it's really too big for everyday wear.
Grandma Ursula also made this little blue sweater, which we were pleased to find fits Maya even in her tiny-peanut phase. She gifted us with this sweater, as well as a larger knitted dress in pink, at Christmas - covering the bases whether Figgy was a boy or a girl!
Meanwhile, Grandma Marla (Kate's mom) outfitted Maya with another knit item just perfect for the early days - this snuggly little cocoon. Maya obliged with a photo-worthy newborn yawn when we bundled her into it for a session in front of the camera.
Another cozy knitted blanket, this one made by family friend Dee, makes a perfect prop to show you the many faces of Maya.
This is one short session while she happened to be awake, but even in her dreams she has a repertoire that keeps us entertained - fluttering eyelids, raised eyebrows with forehead wrinkles, round-circle mouth, suckling lips, and even little smiles. A hint of what's to come!
Looking for still more Maya photos? Here they are!
I'm working on writing my way through the story of her birth and will share that soon, but you'll find a short version chronicled in this photo album, as well as lots of scenes of us all settling in at home in the first weeks.
