Baby Book Stuff

One of the main purposes of this blog is to compensate for my failure to keep up with Kylee's written baby book as well as I should. I have a milestone sticker calendar that I did an OK job keeping up with at least for most of her first year, but now that her first year is over.... its down to just this blog. So, I've decided to periodically (havent decided how often) do a baby book style documentation of her milestones, skills, and favorite things. On that note...
