meet the family

The first grandchild on both sides, Little Miss Maia has become very popular over the course of her first four weeks.

Mommy and Daddy were totally smitten from the start.

Grammy and Opa Stock were anxiously awaiting their first meeting with Little Miss Maia.

Great Grandma (aka GiGi) Smith came to visit in the hospital too.
Uncle Mike and Uncle Kris were excited to meet their first niece!

Grandma Ellie came to help out Mom and Dad for a whole week. She made sure they didn't starve and kept their house from filling with dust bunnies. She also used her Grandma magic to keep Little Miss Maia from crying during the "fussy time". Mommy and Daddy sat on the couch eating ice cream while Grandma Ellie walked around bouncing the baby.
Little Miss Maia took her first road trip (more on that later) to South Carolina to visit Grandpa Ritz's side of the family. Grandpa was SO excited to meet her! He and Daddy worked together to change her diaper and her clothes. They were afraid of breaking her so they took a lot longer than Mommy does.
Here's Little Miss Maia with Mommy, Grandpa Ritz, and Great Grandma Ritz...4 generations together!
