Welcome to Baby Jonah

Jonah Manu joined the family on May 19, 2009. He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz and was 21.5 inches long. Nicole was a star about getting him here... She has been very grown up about her decision for Loreen and Salagi to be Mama and Daddy. It was very touching when Jonah was placed on her chest she called Loreen over and said, "Jonah meet your mommy" As soon as she was decent she made sure Salagi came over and met him too. The first time Jonah heard Salagi's voice it was true love. He can be screaming and daddy just has to talk and he will quiet down for him. Salagi is totally smitten!!
Love at first sight
2nd day in the hospital
circa 10 days old (sensing the pattern?)
He gets a bit milk drunk after eating (above) and So so tired .... (ten days old)

This has been a true example of how bad choices and circumstances can lead to happy things when change and good choices are made later. Colie has never deviated from her decision and many of the hospital staff had words of praise for her. So many girls choose to kill their babies or choose to raise it on their own as a single teenage mom. Thank you Colie for choosing to make Jonah part of the Manu family.
