The party

We celebrated Maya's birthday a couple of days after the actual date and and had some friends come over. Gin and i stayed up till 1 the night before preparing the cakes and decorations. Though not everyone we invited showed up, it was still lots of fun. Big thank you to mom, Gin, Claire and Arthur for your help in making it a great party.

What I love most about Maya

"And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in <..>her eyes" ~Lord Byron ~

It's hard for me to say what i like most about my baby, as to me she's absolutly perfect. Though not flawless, I'm sure, I wouldn't change a thing. But if i had to choose a part of her it would be her eyes. She has the most amazing eyes, you could stare in them for hours, so beautiful, intense and expressive. The colour hasn't set yet so they are a unique mixture of dark and light. They light up when she smiles and always seem to have a mischievous twinkle in them. Just one look from her makes my heart melt and takes my breath away.
