jo's shower was a virtual shower, so none of us were actually there. the whole thing was sarah lyman's idea, but she enlisted me as a side-kick. she wanted to do something with all the scripps girls and figured even though we've all spread out across the country there had to still be a way to throw jo a little shindig. so we developed a little website and asked scrippsies to leave notes for jo, chris, and baby braveheart (the babe was weighing in small, so mom and dad decided to forego calling the baby 'peanut' in favor of the big bad nickname 'braveheart' instead).

(jo posted pics on the site afterwards, too!)
the next step in the virtual shower was that scrippsies sent baby gifts to the daly household. all gifts were held for the virtual shower date. we also sent a baby-shower-in-a-box and cupcakes to jo & chris for the 'party.'

the STAR of the shower: declan himself wearing a robe by ashley on a boppy from courtney.
he didn't want to miss his own shower, so he showed up early!

during the festivities, jo & chris [i am sure begrudgingly] put the spoon to the jar [that’s kind of like pedal to the metal] in a baby food tasting game. i can’t believe i never revealed the baby food flavors (jo & chris are SUPER good sports! did you guys really taste these or just pose as if you were tasting them in the photos?).
and the flavors were:
Banana
(jo guessed apple banana and chris guessed banana! chris 1, jo 0)
Apple Blueberry
(jo guessed apple blueberry and chris guessed apple. chris 1, jo 1)
Mac & Cheese
(jo squash, chris carr0t)
Apples & Chicken
(jo turkey barf, chris f---ing disgusting)
#5 "thank god this one still had the label on it or i think we would have barfed."

i swear on my dd-e sized breast feeding boobies that we actually tasted those baby foods. they ranged from mildly off putting to f-ing disgusting in flavor :)
