Simon Daniel Reckamp

He's finally here...that's right folks, we've got a nephew!!! We got the call on Thursday night that Jennifer was already dilated to 4cm and...to be ready just in case. We were "on call" for Colette duty once Jennifer went into labor. That next morning around 5 am Dan called to tell us that they were in the hospital! So, we hopped in the car and were on our way. We were so excited! Jennifer just couldn't wait and by the time we got to Rockford we got the call that Simon was born! :)
Simon was born around 7:38 am, weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 20" long! If you look back...that's the exact same weight as Carter!! See, Simon already wants to be like his big cousin, Carter!
We had such a wonderful time with our little sweet pea while her parents were in the hospital! We went biking, shopping, rode a merry-go-round, went up to the hospital to visit mommy and daddy and a LOT of playing!! :) During all of this excitement Carter started pulling up to stand!!! I think he just wanted to keep up with his big cousin!! ;)
Congratulations to Dan, Jennifer and the new BIG SISTER Colette!! What a beautiful little baby!!!








Now on to all of the fun things that we did!! We had a short amount of time and made sure we packed in a LOT of fun! We are looking forward to another visit very soon!!!
