Hello, Hello from Taylor Kate!

Hey Everybody!



Aunt Sheri said I could post on her blog today to tell you what's up in my world...

Not much really. Just kidding! Evidently my new brother's arrival has been big news - Dad even put out the following press release:

The University of Alabama set a another milestone today with the recruitment of a 7-hour old strapping young man, Luke Russell McCook. Although, Luke came in at 7lbs 2ozs...Nick Saban said he had never seen such a specimen. Luke is already assured the lead off hitter's role in Alabama's 2020 baseball roster and will also punt return for the Crimson Tide football program, just coming off their 5th national championship in a row and 17 out of the last 18 years.

I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about - Luke really doesn't do anything yet but sleep and eat - shouldn't he at least want to watch Dora with me? I wonder if everyone was this excited when I arrived? I'll have to ask my Aunt Sheri.

I think Aunt Sheri showed you our first official "family of 4" picture but this is the first official "Huh, so that's my brother, Luke?" picture!



Here's my dad with Luke before they came home from the hospital. (I was still in Macon visiting Grandmother, Grandad and Great-Grandad Buford at the time.) Please note that my dad is a multi-tasker - focused on Luke but still controling the remote!



And just look at this sweet picture of Momma and Luke!



Now, I didn't know these pictures were being made at the time but I can give you the play by play as it happened. In this picture I'm thinking several things at once:
  • Didn't I use to swing in this thing?
  • I think I did and I think it was fun!
  • You really mean that Luke gets to play with my old toys?
  • Was I this small when I used to swing?
  • Will Arletta lick Luke's toes while he swings like she did mine?
  • Can I touch him?


I TOUCHED HIM AND NOW LUKE'S HOLDING MY HAND!!!
WOW!


Ok, I'll stop for now but watch for more from me soon. Maybe Aunt Sheri will just let me take over the blog and post all the time! You should post comments on here that you like that idea and give a girl some support!
Bye, Bye...
