Getting the measurements, wishing she could have some milk.

So adorable! Even the diaper that's too big for her!


The proudest father ever!


Daddy's girl


Such an incredible moment!

Congratulations you two. She's beautiful but then that's no surprise. Lucky you for getting to stay in the hospital for 5 days. (Catch up on your sleep you're going to need it.) In the US you'd probably be home by now.

She's beautiful! I'm glad she has three months to learn the ropes of the world so she can teach Avery some things:-). Seriously, you guys make such a precious family! Can't wait to see you next year in Lille!!!

Holy stinkin cow! Huge head of dark hair! Ok, the head is not huge...her hair is just hugely dark. :) I'm so happy for you guys. Wish you weren't in stupid Europe so we could actually come see Kayden in person.

She is so adorable!! And so tiny! You guys make such a cute family- wish we could see you in person soon. I guess for now we will have to settle for Facebook and our blogs :(

Casey and Andrea shared your blog with me so I could come look at the pictures of your beautiful girl! Congratulations--she is precious! It is so cool to see you as such a proud daddy, Shane! Now maybe Casey & Andrea will get on the ball and give me a niece or a nephew . . . :)

So happy for you. This is baby week. I'm sure you have heard that I am a new Auntie this week. I have already posted a couple pics. Beth has not had a chance to do so yet.

From all the Kanolds, we welcome the great news and pics! Isn't the Lord good?! Now you can sense first hand how it feels to have received a gift of cuddling love. She's so precious. Is Kayden going to be in the nursery or in the room with you at all times? Congrats.

GRATTIS GRATTIS!!! How wonderful to finally get to see little Kayden. She is so beautiful with her brown hair. The picture when she sucks her two fingers is adorable. Isn't it so nice to have her sleep on your chest! That's our favorite part. Enjoy enjoy. Love, Therese, Grant, Elijah and Esther
