On Friday, June 6, 2008, Ali gave birth to her daughter, Cyan Montana Smoyer, at 9:58AM. Cyan weighed in at 9 lbs 1 oz and 21" long. She was delivered via c-section after 17 hours of induced labor proved not to be productive. Cyan was 10 days overdue. Here are some pictures of the event. Mother and baby are happy and healthy.

On her way to the Nursery, Cyan stops by to say "Hello" to mom.
Cyan was a happy baby for the first 2 hours she spent in the nursery while Ali was in post-op.
Ali, Cyan and I wait for "a room at the inn." The birthing unit at Lehigh Valley Hospital was very busy.
Here's Cyan having her hair washed. Absolutely loved it!
Here's the happy girl. But just wait till midnight where she would turn on the foghorn and cry up a storm.

This is typical of Bing's proximity to Ali and Cyan. Usually Bing will be curled around Ali's feet in the living room or behind the glider in Cyan's room while Ali is feeding her. There is a Bing blog in development stages, just in case you needed a reminder that this website is about dog training.
Two of Cyan's more peaceful moments.
Below are some pictures from July 3, when Cyan was in very good spirits.
