Our first niece

Ayako's sister, Sumiko, gave birth to a girl on Friday, October 16 at 3:06 pm. She is healthy and weighs 3.13 kg. Today, Ayako and I went to visit Sumiko and her daughter (no name yet):

Sumiko was quite tired and so wasn't feeling up to having her photo taken. She had said that the day before the birth, she was craving macaroons. Because of this, we thought Macaroon or Mako (common Japanese name) would be good name for the baby, but we'll have to wait and see.
