Andrew's Shower & Texas Visit

This past week we ventured to Texas with Katelyn for the first time. She did great in the car - pretty much slept the whole time. Once we arrived at my parents house, I think it hit her that she had been in the car for 18 hours and was in a strange place. She wasn't too happy at that point, but managed to get accustomed quickly. It was great for her to spend some good quality time with Grandma and Pops!

The main reason for our visit though was to celebrate Katelyn's new cousin - Andrew Luke! Here are some pictures from the shower honoring Cindy!


There was a great turn out! Andrew is one lucky kiddo and will be well dressed for the first year of his life after all the great clothes he got at the shower!

Cindy picked out a baby blue and white sear sucker material to be the main theme of her nursery. I got creative and made a pillow with taggies for Andrew - I surprised myself that it turned out kind of cute!

Katelyn got a change to meet her three cousins - Jonathan, Taylor & Channing! Katelyn really liked them each holding her. She was pretty cranky earlier in the shower, but did really well in her cousins arms!

Presley loved the cupcakes!

Mom feeding Katelyn during the shower! I think she really liked this :o)

Granny getting a chance to hold Katelyn for the first time! She didn't last too long awake and happy, so we were glad to get a good picture of her and Granny. Right after this she started crying and I had to swaddle her up and put her to sleep! She sure loves her sleep still!

Grandma saying goodbye to her granddaughter!

Matt meeting his first niece! He was a natural!




4 Generations!

We got a chance to go by my Me-Maw's place before Cindy's shower. She was so happy to finally get to hold her first great granddaughter!

I didn't have a whole lot of free time, but I did get a chance to see Susan and Janet (I forgot to take a picture with Janet & Makenzie - opps)! Susan is such a natural :o)

Grandma loved cuddling up with Katelyn


We also figured out that Katelyn really likes the word "Stinky"...we didn't think to start recording this video until she had been laughing for about 5 minutues...so it's not quite as dramatic as she was...but you get the idea! Too Cute!

We were very happy to see her. The time that they were here went to quickly. I enjoyed every second.
Katelyn is such a happy baby.
and the video is a precious memory.

Cindy had a very nice shower. Andrew is a lucky boy to have a loving family to be born into. I can't wait to meet him.

Cute photo's! Glad you made it back safely. My nephew thinks the word "poo poo" is funny. Silly babies!

Love the pics! It was so fun to see y'all! And...in the great debate about who Katelyn looks like...I have to say that the one of her and Pops settles the debate! Two baldies ;)
