SHE'S HERE!!!!

Tanner would like you to meet his new sister, Baby Cup-Kate! At least that is what he calls her!



Her name is actually Kate Michelle, she came a week early and was born on Tuesday Jan. 27th at 3:59 pm. She was 7 lbs and 9 oz, and 19 inches long. The birth was an adventure and a story for another time. But she is very healthy and has been a very gracious sleeper which I more than appreciate! I may be partial but I think she is the cutest little baby! Tanner likes to know where she is at all times, the first morning she was home, he ran downstairs and couldn't find her, so he ran back upstairs to find her. He came in my room and said "Mommy wake up! Where baby CupKate?" It was funny, but his anxiety was put to rest when I pointed to her bed! He has been really good with her and as long as he knows where she is and that she is okay, his cars are more interesting! Most of her pictures are on other cameras, so we will get back to you with those! But here is a picture of Tanner after he helped Nana make cookies.

She is soooo adorable!!!!! I want to hold her so bad! I love how proud Tanner looks:) Congrats Kinley, I hope you are feeling okay. I really want to hear the delivery story!! BTW we ate at Texas Roadhouse yesterday, Shawn got a HUGE steak, and he said... "I still like Cory's steaks better" Just thought you should pass that on to him.
