Happy Birthday...Feliz Cumpleanos!

Last night after I fell asleep Mommy & Daddy filled my room with 20 latex balloons and 1 DORA balloon :) When I woke up this morning at 6:45am Mommy heard me talking to myself about balloons so she ran across the house and peeked into my room. I was standing by my bed and said "Momma, balloons - can Kailey have them?" (sometimes she speaks in 3rd person - it's adorable). Here are a few shots right as I woke up!

Making a WISH:

It's the start of a GREAT day!

Turning TWO tomorrow!!

Tomorrow is my 2nd Birthday!! Here's a picture from my 1st Birthday last year. You can see my poor little red forehead (from my cranial helmet) but aside from that this is Mommy's FAVORITE picture :) We must have had 50 or so people with us to celebrate last year. After all your FIRST birthday is also a celebration for the mile stone against SIDS! This year we're having a very 'small' get together with Grandparents and some Aunts & Uncles. We'll post pictures after the festivities :)

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY little Kailey Von Katz!

You are such a joy in our lives, it's hard to imagine life without YOU!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy & Cuba

Almost 8 months pregnant!

It's hard to believe our little guy will be here in just 2 short months! Here we are a few days shy of 32 weeks. He's growing like a weed and our follow up appointment this morning went well :) Kohlston - we can't wait for you to officially join our family! See you soon!

WE LOVE YOU!

Our little ROSE :)

We have a beautiful rose bush out back. This weekend Daddy cut some of the fresh roses and put them in a glass bowl for Mommy & me! Thanks for your thoughtfulness Dadda :)

WE LOVE YOU!!!

(If you look closely you'll see Mommy painted my toe nails PINK!)

Great Mamaw Audrey!

Today Mommy & I stopped by to visit with Great Mamaw Audrey (Mike's Grandmother)! We had a nice time. I spent most of our visit in the rocking chair :) Cuba was jealous when he heard we saw Nelson (their dog). Have a great Friday everyone!

Easter Day!

On Easter I was a lucky little chick and scored two baskets! One from the Easter Bunny & one from Gigi Lynne & GrampZ (thank-you). Included were all kinds of goodies :)

I just woke up and started checking out all the fun stuff Mr. Bunny left for me :)
Check this out Momma.

My very first pair of DORA underwear (hmmm...am I ready for potty training??)

What else is in here?!

Later that day we headed to Terra Ceia Island where Mommy's

Uncle Curt & Aunt Michelle live for their ANNUAL EASTER EGG BASH!

Here's everyone outside getting ready for the 400+ egg race!!

Inside: Bernard, Great G-ma & Aunt Lane

Everyone is busy counting to see which team won!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!

Meeting Mr. Easter Bunny

This morning Mommy & Daddy took me to meet the Easter Bunny! He hopped on by the Walgreens near our house and we stopped in to say HI :) Here Dad & I are walking in.

I was busy stocking shelves when Mr. Bunny got there (see be in the aisle)

I started clapping when I realized he was finally there.
First, the meet & greet hand shake with Dadda by my side.
Hmmm...I'm not so sure about these 'shoes'?!

Awww - nope! I don't think I'm ready to have this big ol' fella hold me.

NO - definitely NOT ready! Put me down please.....now :)

It's a little better from this view (in Daddy's arms).

We'll see you again next year Mr. Easter Bunny!

Don't forget to stop by my house tonight.

I'm excited to hunt eggs in the yard tomorrow morning.

Coloring Easter Eggs!

Tonight we colored Easter Eggs! Mommy & I put on old Tee's and colored away. Daddy is helping Uncle Slim move so he missed out on the fun but he'll see our masterpieces when he gets home tonight! Tomorrow we're going to visit the Easter Bunny. Mom & Dad are curious as to what this experience will be like ;) Will I watch from afar OR sit on his lap for a picture??

Guess you'll find out!

Waiting patiently...

Starting to get excited :)

Our Easter Eggs!

LISA, LISA :)

Mommy's friend, Lisa, came to stay with us from Atlanta! Here are a few snapshots of us hanging out. First thing I said at 6:30am was 'Mommy, Lisa is sleeping'! I was so excited to wake her up (but Mommy wouldn't let me :()!

It was a beautiful day! We enjoyed hanging out outside.

Mommy (7 1/2 months pregnant) and Lisa!
