The Baby Wash

Well last Saturday we had a baby shower in OKC. My Aunt Tracey and my sister hosted it for Kate and I. It was so wonderful. My friends and family in OKC all came and we had such a great time. Here is picture of me with the guest of honor:

That was probably the only time I got to hold her - my mom pretty much took over. Which was fine by me - she doesnt get to see her very often. Here is a pic of them together.

It was really a nice shower. Very girlie just like me. We played some games which some of my more competitive friends...Leah....took very seriously! Leah and Lisa were able to make 4 pages of words out of Kate's full name. Crazy! Thank Goodness Tracey had prepared gift bags for the winners.

Brooke had a good time hanging out with her cousin Evan. Brooke loves a good "baby wash." That is what she calls them. Not showers, but a baby wash. As a matter of fact, she wanted ot know when our next one in. Sorry, honey. Think it is over. Tracey had games for her and Evan. Here is Brooke putting a diaper on a baby blindfolded.

We got some great gifts. My Uncle and Aunt and their entire family found an old rocking chair in my granparents barn. It was mine when I was a little girl. When I was about 2 1/2 our house caught fire - the rocking chair was the one thing my grandmother managed to save. They all worked together to completely restore it, paint it and it is just beautiful. I couldn't help but cry! Even though we got home late Sunday night, I got it out of the Jeep and put it right in Kate's room. Here is a pic.

Kate and I got lots of great gifts - everyone was so generous. I have to tell you about her give from our new friend Laura. Laura is going be a new mom soon and I can already tell she is going to be a good one - she picked out a great gift. It is a crib toy and Kate just loves it. I know nobody will believe me but I think it was making Kate laugh last night. She LOVES it! Here are some pics I took:
