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.
