She's here!!

Proud Auntie Niki has temporary duty of posting announcements on the blog. And what a great announcement I have to make! Sonia Marie Malahowski was born at 8:47 am on May 13, 2009. She weighs 6 lbs., 4 oz., and she measures 17 1/2 inches long. As Proud Auntie Ali put it, Erin had one of the most "efficient" labors and deliveries we have ever heard of -- she only pushed for about 10 minutes. Seriously. Would you expect anything else from an accountant?

Here she is! There were tears from everyone.



Turn off those stupid lights!!



Checking out the product of all those months of hard work.



Whew - that was a rough morning.



Well hello Grandpa Spike!



Peek a boo!



Yo Grandma Jo!



Ah, time for another snooze.



Grandma Jenni and Grandpa Dick raced from the airport to meet Sonia.



Sonia hopes she gets her grandpa's pretty blue eyes.



Time to show off the chicken legs.



Singing for Grandma Jenni.



Back in Dad's arms.



Cuddling with Mom. Man, she looks good after having given birth!



Congratulations to the whole family! I'm dying to meet you, sweet girl!!

Love, Auntie Niki
