Tihei Mauri Ora - Kua tae mai au

Kia Ora my name is Turama i te rangi Te Whaiti Paranihi (well that is my name for now apparently there maybe more to come maybe my parents are still working on it).

On January 15th at 12.32pm I was born weighing in at 7olb 3oz to very very proud parents, Marewa Itirangi Turama Paranihi and Rauhina (Suzy) Cooper. I was 5 days overdue and gave my mother a very hard time and needed a little help getting out in the form of a suction machine which helped and did no damage so all is well.


My dad is very proud and says I have his eyes and nose and my mums lips but we shall see. I want to say a big thank you to all the whanau that was there to help my mum and also my mums midwife and all the hospital staff that rushed it to help get me out. You are all awesome.
Dad is going crazy taking photo and wants to record my progress so come back and visit anytime.
Ka kite.
I love you mum and dad.
Turama i te rangi.

Hi my little brother, yet another addition to our big HUGE family. I cant wait to meet you on tuesday, i cant stay for long i can only have a short visit (as im sure you have heard our daddy moaning about LOTS..... LOL). Im moving to Dunedin all the way down south, i might not see you for awhile but you can alwayz ring me (on daddyz cell fone cause he has FREE minutes, ha ha ha)

Well ive got a little tip for you. If you are in trouble from dad just POUT your little cute lips and he'll cave in its as easy as that, he tryz to be grumpy but really he's a big softy ( well that worked for me LOL but than im his favourite GURL so well you can give it a try. LOL, i luff you daddy)

So i guess ive just got one BIG favour to ask you. Can you keep an eye on my daddy for me pleaz im going to miss him soo much so i might ring you now and then and remind you to give him a big cuddle for me ok. well i better go for now and just remember im only a fone call away and hopefully mum and dad will bring you for a holiday with us ( HINT HINT )

Arohanui your favourite (lol) big sista, Te Rina Tiki Terereomaki Paranihi.
