Here I Am ....

I think I got the date wrong. Mommy and Daddy said that I was a little early but I had heard about this thing called Independence Day and I wanted to BE FREE =)
My name is Kaylee Jo. I arrived on July 4th at 0701, weighing in at 5 lbs. 9 oz. and 18 inches long. Mommy and Daddy said that everything happened so fast. I'm sure they'll tell you about it later. I have to go take a nap now because I sleep 18 hours of the day. I hope to meet you all soon if I haven't met you already. Good night!

Kaylee Jo's Baby Shower

so the first of Kaylee Jo's baby showers happened on Saturday. Thank you to Auntie Jenn, Auntie Dana, Grandma Susan and Grandpa Joe for hosting the shower. Auntie Mina always comes up with some hard games, but they make for great thinking. Auntie Roxanne and Auntie Joan decorated the place to make it cute and girly. And of course, Lola and Tita Beth always make the food so yummy. SO a BIG THANK YOU to all of you who hosted and of course, to all of you who came to make it such a good shower! Mommy and Daddy have time to recover because the next ones are not for at least three weeks. Mommy and Daddy have a tendency to pick the hottest weekends for their shindigs so thank you for tolerating the heat. We posted some pictures up to try to recap the shower. They're all out of order but hopefully you get the gist. Thanks for coming everyone! Hope to meet you all soon!
