Oh, and I won't show Clint this post, LOL. Keep the surprise! :P
Is that sweet pea shirt gonna be a pillow for Chey? She'll love it, I bet!
Hehe...I just hope my mother doesn't look at this post, either.
And yeah, it's for her. She won't care for a while, but she'll hopefully like it when she gets a bit older...hehe.
