Father and Daughter
I grew up with an amazing daddy and having him in my life help to shape who I am today. When I met Kenny and we decided to get married I always told him that I couldn't wait for the day when we had a baby girl so he could really understand the connection between my daddy and I. Well I must say that watching Kenny fall in love with Kaylee is MORE than I could of ever dreamed for, the way he smiles when he looks at her is that same sweet smile I would catch on my dad's face while looking at me. I am beyond excited to watch their relationship grow into something designed by God over the next years of Kaylee's life:)

kaylee 2 months old! October 20th, 2011
Happy 2 months baby girl! You have made me the happiest mommy in the world. You have been a very busy little girl, growing, eating and playing all day. You had some fun things happen this month like having Grandma Kat Kat, Nana Jo and Papa Q visit as well as Auntie Ju Ju and Aunt Tam. They came up to see you and spent 5 days with us.
You have grown so much since last month not just in size but in personality as well. You LOVE to smile and do all day long, especially in the morning time when we sing our Rise and Shine song together. You LOVE to read stories with mom at bedtime, especially our bible stories. We count the animals and learn all about Jesus, you love to sit in the rocker with mom while she reads to you. You also LOVE bathtime! You always get so excited and kick your feet while in tub along with lots of giggles and cooing. I think you will LOVE the water like Grandpa John. You are in a good routine now of eating, playing and sleeping and even sleep through the night in your own room! You are such a big girl:) I can't believe how big you seem to me already and I continue to enjoy each day with you.
We love you our sweet Kaylee Jo! Happy 2 months:)

One Month Old Septemeber 20th 2011
You are one month old today! I can't believe how much bigger you seem to me.. you weigh about 8lbs now and feel like a baby more than a newborn. You love to smile and always "coo" back when mommy and daddy talk to you. You are such a happy baby and everyone that sees you says you are so sweet. You have such a kind personality and love being around people.
Some of the things that happened for the first time are;

Kaylee Jo is Born! August 20th 2011
On Saturday August 20th at 6:42pm Kaylee Jo was born. From the moment we saw you we knew you were the miracle God had promised us. This is the story of how you (Kaylee Jo) Came into the world.
It started on Wed August 17th, I started having contraction while your dad and I were out shopping for last minute things for you.. around 3pm. They were not very strong and felt like sharp pains in my back off and on, I didn't think to much about it since they were coming and going. We went home and unloaded all the things we had gotten that day, I decided to go get a pedicure since it may be the last one for a while. At this point the contractions had stopped. As I was sitting in the chair being pampered the contractions came back(6pm) I drove home and told your dad that I was having them again, this time there were about every 12 min and coming constantly but still too far apart to go in. By 9pm I was still having them and they were getting stronger but still far apart. I called my mom(your Kat Kat) and told her what was happening and she decided to drive on down through the night because she was afraid she would miss it! The contractions kept coming until 1am and then they stopped completely. Kat Kat and My Nina (great grandma) arrived around 2am. The next day was my Dr. apt for my 40 week check up, I explained to the Dr. what had been happening and she decided to schedule an induction on Saturday morning just in case you didn't come by then, but she was pretty positive that you would be here before Saturday. We left feeling really good about you coming that night or the next for sure!
That night I had a lot of cramping and continual contractions all, but still nothing!
Friday August 19th
I woke up feeling good not in much pain so your Kat Kat, My Nina and I went for a walk about 1 mile around where we live, started to feel some contractions at that point so I cam home and took a nap, when I woke up we went for another walk! By the time we got back your Nana Jo and Papa Q were here! Still nothing so we all went out to eat for one last meal as we awaited you arrival! You uncle Johann and Kaleb were on there way down too!
Saturday Morning!
5am!We woke up and were so excited that TODAY was the day! We had all the bags ready to go and off we went to be induced to get you here. We got to the hospital around 5:45 and the nurse started hooking me up to the IV's to get the contractions going. I instantly started contracting about every 8 min. You were ready! Then we waited around for a while to see how fast you were going to move. At 8am the Dr. came in and broke my water and that's when I started to feel the pain! You were working hard in there at that point. I pushed through those contractions for about 3 hours and then got an epidural which helped ease the pain some. The Dr. cam back in at 12:30 and said I was still only 3cm so we still had some time. The next 2 hours I started having really strong contraction about every minute to 2 minutes. The nurse came in and turned down my medications but I kept contracting on my own. At about 2:30 the Dr. Came back and said I was at an 8! WOOHOOO I said really oh yeah I am going to cry I am so happy! I was hurting and hoping that meant something. When the family came back in I asked them to guess where I was at and they cuouldn't believe I was that far along already. The next 2 hours went pretty quick as I was in a lot of pain... but the around 4pm I started pushing! 2 1/2 hours later you were here!!!! The first thing I said was "She is so little" and then I laid back and said Oh thank You Jesus!!
Daddy helped get you all cleaned up and then brought you over to me... it was the most perfect moment in all the world getting to hold you! Daddy and I prayed over you and then he went to get the family and the picture taking began!
We love you Kaylee Jo and it was the most perfect day!
