so many thank you's!

So many thank you's I have to say!! My email box has exploded with well wishes and congrats, thank you to everyone for helping us welcome our new little sweet pea to the world! A few presents for Kailey have arrived in my mailbox as well that I have to share:

My friend and neighbor Amanda knit Kailey so many amazing pieces!

Thank you Amanda, for so many lovely gifts! (She has better pictures of the knitting itself on her blog, pop on over to see it) She knit a lovely baby blanket, a tiny pair of baby socks (for a while there I was blaming her for Kailey being late! Because she hadn't finished the socks! *L*) and the sweetest little hat, check out this hat!!

Kailey looks like a little flower when she wears it. When Mom and I went to Rhinebeck I picked up some fiber for Amanda (who feeds my cats when I go on trips). She spun up some of it and knit up this hat with it! Its so soft and she did an amazing job, thank you!!! I can't tell you how grateful I am to have met you 3 (?) year ago at the bus stop, I don't think I would enjoy living here as much if it wasn't for knowing ewe! *L*

Valerie of knitting in pink (go see the hat she just finished, amazing!) sent *the* cutest bib and burp cloth set from bamboo baby's etsy site for Kailey! Check out the fabric! I love it!!

Both the bib and burp cloth have come in handy already! I'm so happy that we where able to met at Rhinebeck and now I'm able to put a face with your name! Thank you so much for sending such a cool gift for baby girl!! : )

Cayli of Spin a yarn for Ewe (check out the yarn she spins!) sent Kailey the sweetest little hat and sweater!

She used the cutest little sunshine buttons on the sweater, that add the perfect touch! The hat is so soft and squishy, Kailey wore it to her first Dr's appointment today and it did a great job keeping her little head warm! Thank you so much Cayli! I'm so glad to have "met" you this past year! One more picture, cause its just too cute not to share!

Mom knit Kailey an adorable little sweater! I blamed her for a few days for Kailey being late, she had to block the sweater and add buttons to it. But I believe now that Kailey was just waiting for her Mema to deliver this sweater to her personally. I love this little sweater and the buttons that my Dad picked out for it, I think Kailey likes it too!

Thank you Mom!! Your sweater has kept Kailey good and toasty this past week while the weather here in Western PA has finally started to act like its January! We have snow! Not a whole lot (thank goodness) but we have snow!

A big thank you to Amanda, Valerie, Cayli and my Mom for sending such lovely gifts to little Kailey! She must now how much she is loved, not only by her family but by an extended network of friends. She is thriving and healthily! Today at her first Dr's appointment, the Dr proclaimed that she is a keeper and was happy that she had regained her birth weight plus 3 oz! (He said not to many babies do that in the first week, not even bottle feed! Yay!) Knitters are really the best kind of people! Thank you everyone, Thank you!!!

Thank you for the photos! She is beautiful! Sounds like everyone is happy and healthy, can't ask for much more than that!

Can't wait for an updated family photo.

Congratulations!

She's so cute! Did she get tired of the fashion show modeling? I'm so glad everyone's home, happy, and healthy!

What a patient little model you have there. She's so beautiful in all her gorgeous handknits! She looks like she's sucking her thumb in one of them :)

Thank you so much for sharing the great pictures with us, and I also can't wait for an updated family photo.

Looking really sweet there.
I'm guessing that she doesn't really sleep as much as it looks from her pictures, though; ours didn't.
