Finally, I'm an Auntie

Chad and I are both the oldest sibling in our families so Caralie has been lonely for a cousin ... until now.

Announcing the arrival of my little nephew:

Kal'el Kalai


He arrived on February 6, when Caralie and I were still in Hawaii. Naturally, I seized on his Hawaiian middle name and milked it for all it's worth. Hence my baby gifts:

A Hawaiian themed blankie made by moi and an aloha shirt set.


I found this fabric at a quilt store in Kaimuki and had to have it. Too cute. I backed it with flannel, so it's a mid-weight blanket. Good for AZ.

I finally know what it's like to be an auntie. Nice. With perks.

Perk #1: I am not responsible for changing diapers (though I will cuz I'm just awesome like that).

Perk #2: I can sleep through the night and still get my baby love on.

Perk #3: I finally have someone else to spoil rotten.

Perk #4: Now I have a reason to purchase stinkin' cute baby boy clothes (will not publicly admit how many outfits I have actually purchased for no "reason" at all).

Caralie is adjusting well to being second fiddle for a while. She has her new birthday presents to keep her occupied. And, yes, I already regret the Polly Pocket Ultimate Pool Party. At least it's not an Ultimate Kool-aid Party.

Anyway, welcome to the world little man!
