New York 2008: My beautiful niece

[khaosworks]

Touched down yesterday, and am ensconced in my youngest sister Adelin's apartment in Brooklyn.

My new niece couldn't wait, it seems - she was born while Mom and I were en route to the US.

I've been announcing it all over, so I apologize for the redundancy, but for those not in the know: Zadie Marina Malik, born 4.33am, 29 November 2008 at New York University Medical Center, 6 lbs 4 oz.

Both mother (my younger sister Jasmin) and daughter are doing fine and of course she's the bestest most beautiful baby in the world,

Some pictures at http://www.flickr.com/photos/khaosworks/sets/72157610410770393/ for a start.

Yeah, I'm going to be one of those uncles.

I've said it elsewhere, but I'll say it again--congrats to your family! What a sweet and gorgeous baby! You know now that you've got to keep us updated with pics as she grows up? :-D

Yay for baby of cuteness!

For how long will you be in Brooklyn? Do you want to make a trip up to Boston, or should we attempt to come down (my parents live in Riverdale, about an hour's drive/2.5 hour subway ride from most of Brooklyn)?

Congrats and what a wonderful pre Christmas present. Hope to see you again someday. It's been quite a while since we have hung out and done music.

Mazel tov! I hope I get to to see you while you're here. I'm probably not going to be able to make the housefilk, because I'm helping shoot a TV pilot for a friend.

We should arrange dinner or something - can you try getting in touch with Deb Wunder and Dave Weingart too? I'm not sure if I'm going to see them at the housefilk. Any others you might think of as well.

Conga rats! Take it from me -- being the cool aunt/uncle is loads of fun!

Hope to meet her someday.
