Maia, I want to eat you for a snack.
My brand new delicious niece, Maia Elizabeth. Born August 30, 7 lb., 7 oz., with a Leslie-shaped birthmark on her tush (covered here to avoid eBay bidding crashes.)
Maia, I want to eat you for a snack.
Your cheeks are silver dollar pancakes, fluffy and sweet.
I'm gonna drizzle maple syrup over them and just EAT.
Your noggin is a caramel-covered apple and I'm rarin'
to nibble on that noggin - I don't care who be starin'.
If your cheeks are cherry snow cones and the weather's kinda hot,
watch out, 'cuz Auntie Lolly's 'bout to slurp them on the spot.
I need to nibble on those cheeks like a walnut-munching squirrel...
that's right, both cheeks - I can't help it that they're plural.
If your cheeks are navel oranges, then baby, I have scurvy.
Your Vitamin C is the only thing'll cure me.
I love you little Maia, you cheesecake-brownie-sundae blend,
and I'll love you more and more until the very, very end.

What a little cutie!
Little disturbing that you wanna eat her but Whateve.
Next time you are in detroit, give me a holla and we will work out a way to get you that drink.

Congrats to Auntie Leslie and Welcome Maia!!!
Great poem too, you got talent girl!
Adorable. Congrats!
So adorable! Congratulations!
Man, she's gorgeous! (And I TOTALLY get the whole "I wanna eat you up" thing!)
Congratulations, Auntie!!!!!
What a beauty! Congratulations, Auntie Lolly!
Very cute! Congratulations! :)
What a cutie pie!! I totally get the urge to nibble babies. Something about their chubby cheeks and roly poly thighs just makes me want to kiss them and make nom-nom noises. Hope you get to see her soon! (She doesn't live close by, right?) Congrats Aunt Leslie!
All this gooey,yummy, sweety talk
helps make her arrival seem great
when you get your hands on little Maia
you'll know she's been worth the wait.
Hurray for Maia! Someday she's going to find out that her auntie blogged about the birthmark on her tush and she is NOT going to be happy with you. :)
haha - no birthmark, Trish! Just joking about that :-)
Awwww, BABY LOVE! I have two nieces and they are so much fun!
Oh, she is just adorable! How exciting - congratulations, Auntie Leslie!

What a wonderful poem and love shown on your niece. Hope you live close so you can shower that love on her all the time. I believe it takes more than parents to raise a child. Congratulations.
omg, absolutely adorable and delicious!
(and thanks for giving me baby fever. Must have more!!!!)
