Funny story for you...

When I was approximately 7 months pregnant with Kyra, I was traveling from Jersey to KC and had a layover in Nashville. I was flying Southwest so I was sitting in the "A" line, making sure I got a good seat. I look back at my line and to my surprise there was Neil Smith, legendary Hall of Famer KC Chiefs defensive end, just a couple of people back from me. I think I was the first to recognize him, as no one had approached him. So I got the nerve up to ask his autograph, but I thought I'd ask for him to sign it to Kyra. He was really a nice guy and signed it for me.

Then last night we had dinner with my parents at Amor de Brazil, a new Brazilian Steakhouse in Overland Park. This restaurant is partly owned by Neil Smith, but I really didn't think much about that. Well to our surprise, there he is.....Neil Smith. Dad had the waiter ask him to stop by so that Kyra could meet the man who signed his autograph before she was born. He was nice enough to stop by and chat for a couple of minutes and let us take a picture with him. He then told us to bring the picture back when we get it developed and he'll sign that for her as well. What a cool guy!!

I've posted that picture and a few more for you to enjoy!!

Hello All - Not much to update other than she is just growing and growing. It's amazing how fast time flies and how much she can change in such a small time. She is now sleeping better in her crib alone. We definitely have days that are better than others, but we still have nothing to complain about. She's still a very good baby and doesn't pose too many challenges for her mommy and daddy. We took our first bath and she loved it. Much better response than we got from the sponge baths.

I've posted some updated pics here for you to enjoy. Also, you can watch a video that I've posted for you showing her beautiful smile!!

Welcome Kyra!!

Introducing Kyra Christine Nelson

She was born August 4th, 2007 at 9:04am. She was 7 lbs. and 13 oz and was 19 inches long.

She has been just a pure joy. She rarely cries, and if she does, it means she's hungry. We are working on getting her comfortable sleeping alone. It's been a slow process but we are getting better.

As of August 17th, she's up to 8 lbs. it's amazing how fast the time goes and how quickly she grows.

Bobby and I are so proud and we will be updating this website often, so please come back and check it out!!
