Dearest Lilley,
Oh dearest baby child.
You are like the filament in my light bulb.
You are like the hands of my masage therapist relaxing my soul.
You are like the two-ply with extra stitching in my toilet paper.
You are the only baby that I have ever loved that wasn’t my flesh and blood.
I mean loved. Loved like I would jump in front of a bus or a train or Mariah when she is on her way to the tanning bed.
Other babies will be on their own…maybe their adorably chunky cheeks will help protect them.
But you – you have my chunky cheeks on your side. They are here to keep you outta harm’s way.
Baby Lilley – I can officially say that I love you more now than I love your nursery. And that is one dang cute nursery.
Dearest little monk of chunk – You realize that you did a terrible monstrosity of a thing.
Something that can never be undone.
Something so horrible that men everywhere are mocking my husband with snickered laughs and pointing fingers.
Darling baby dearest.
Sweet sugar lump lump.
Cuddly puddly muddly wuddly.
Look what you did.
You turned our world upside down.
You changed everything.
What ever did you do?!?!
You made my boyfriend want a baby!!!
My sweet man-toy now dreams about masculine diaper bags, dimpled thighs, and changing diapers.
Well, maybe not the last one.
Thanks for officially boarding us on the I-wanna-baby-train.
XO – Auntie Katie
p.s. Stay away from boys. And hottubs. And anyone named Lindsay Lohan.
Welcome aboard! 🙂
She is just precious
Congrats! Good luck.
What a cutie!! Those eyes. Precious!
Fasten your seat belt. It is a wild ride!!
The eyes have it!!
Her daddy, and her Uncle Boyfriend will have to lock her in a closet in a few years.
i thought you were going to announce that you were pregnant!!
She is a doll. There needs to be a Baby Bower.
She’s a cutie!
Those.Pictures.Are.PRECIOUS!!!!! So, so, so cute!
What a little yummy squishy cupcake! Those dimples are too sweet. Yea, no wonder Jer melted.
Hi Katie,
I just have to say that I love your blog! I have been reading it for a few months from a link on Young House Love – and then when I found out you all became friends, I was floored. Anyway, I recently started my own blog briaroak.blogspot.com about our 91-year-old home and listed you as one of my “favorite” blogs. Thanks for the inspiration!
Precious Precious Precious!!! I just got home from the hospital welcoming my little cousin, Jax Alexander, into the world… aren’t they a miracle? And this little girl’s eyes are absolutely beautiful!
Awww thanks Briar Oak Wife! I was surprised that Sherry and I became friends too…especially since she is all famous and hot…and I am, well, full of cheese and bacon! Beauty & the beast I guess 🙂 I will definitely head on over and check out the new addition to the blog world 🙂 So glad to hear that you are taking the plunge – you go girl!
XO – Katie
Thanks, Katie! I love Sherry, too, which is why I was absolutely flattered to have a celebrity like her be the very first comment on my little ol’ blog!! Don’t know if I can fit my head through the doorways anymore know that I have “met” both of you!! 🙂
How exciting!!!
I just love your sense of humor and wit BTW!
Well, then.
She made your boyfriend want a baby?
She should forever remain on your Christmas and b’day gift list, for the rest of her life!!!
She’s so cute!
Welcome into this “I-wanna-baby” world (which I’m kinda part of right now) ! And this one is just so cute ! I hope you get one of your own very soon ! Cheers !
That is one cute baby!! Good luck with the spermification!
Awwwwww… and there’s nothing cuter than a hot boyfriend in full on cuddly “I want a baby” mode. I love watching men turn into a puddle of mush around babies.
Congrats and good luck!!
And I second your p.s. =)
Ok, I have never had my baby describe in those ways. A little scary…just imagine my mom reading this. I am dying. 🙂 I can’t wait to let Lilley read when she in a teenager. You are the best auntie ever. I am imagining our children’s wedding day already. You have just got to birth a male dinobug. Of course, I know you will be popping them out once you get going. I am officially on…love you. I guess my life is finally slowing down enough to actually post something…How old is Lilley? 🙂
Weren’t you pregnant when you wrote this?! How sneaky!
yes Audrey. Yes I was. And yes, you will find that I very very sneaky sir. (that is said in my best Emilio voice…aka, Mr. Deeds’ butler).
