Holy Cow Baby

Oh Peanut...I know you heard all the commotion yesterday :) We had your baby shower, which was very exciting and overwhelming at the same time!!!!

Your aunts, Caitlin, Emily and MacKenzee did a wonderful job planning the shower. It was at Fore Lakes and we had a yummy feast of some food mom's been craving (soups, fruit, salad with ALL the fixings). And aunt Tayna made delicious cupcakes for dessert!

We had such a great turn out of family and friends who joined us to celebrate your upcoming arrival! And yesterday evening we spent time going through all of the gifts and sorting them. We're so thankful that we such amazing and generous friends and family who got you so many GREAT things! You'll be a clean, dry little guy with all the diapers, wipes and toiletries you received. And you'll FOR sure be the most stylish baby with all of the clothes you got (SOOOO CUTE) and hopefully not nearly as sassy as the onesies your aunt Caitlin brought home for you! And you'll be warm and snug during this cold winter with all of the beautiful blankets and a few specially made just for you (Grandma Mayhew, Aunt Betty and a friend of Grandma Mayhew's made)! And then there are the TOYS! Holy moley baby, you'll be amazing at all the lights and sounds and crinkles and such. And of course, there's your daddy's "man" stroller...which is a bigger version of an umbrella stroller that he plans on taking you for lots of walks in this spring and summer (I'll just have to remind him that we'll need to stop by the Boucher's house then walk over to the Taylor's house to show off the present!). And you'll be happy to know that you have a killer swing to relax in, a jumper roo to strengthen your legs in, a bouncy seat to calm you in and a johnny jump up to hang out in. OH and a play pen to keep you safe while you're still little. And not to mention so many fun things for tummy time! And most of all, I'm sure you'll be the SMARTEST baby ever since you have a BEAUTIFUL collection of books now! We're truly blessed.

Daddy has started to read to you, since you have a small library now. I think you really enjoyed your first book...The Barnyard Dance! Can't wait for Daddy and your aunt Roo to teach you to clap, stomp, quack and cluck along with the story!

You're a lucky baby and we are the luckiest parents in the world to have you joining our family in 6 weeks!!!!! Love you baby :)
