Today your mother and I decided you need to go up a size in diapers.  You are a big and beautiful baby.  We went to the Journal Star to submit the announcement of your birth.  You can bet your mom will have that article in her scrap book when it comes out.  Your mother loves to collect sentimental trinkets and pictures.  She’s definitely a hallmark kinda girl.

We also took you to meet your Great-grandma Jerry.  She squeeled with delight and doted on your beauty.  Her dear friend, Robin, held you too.   Robin has known your mother since your mum was a wild teenager.  Robin is a very kind woman.  I think you’ll like her too.

Robin, Great-Grandma Jerry's friend

Your Aunt Rachael is visiting you right about now, as I write this post.  I’ll see you tomorrow morning.
