Dear Siebolds and Dockerys,
Please post the answers to these questions about Kara-Leigh and John when they were babies (from birth-3 years old). Then, I'll hide those answers and have Kara-Leigh and John fill out what they think the answers are to see how many they get correct. Keep in mind that the questions are phrased for Kara-Leigh and John to answer so please provide the answers they should give.
They did a similar questionnaire for their wedding festivites and had so much fun answering the questions so it's only appropriate to do one for their first baby! Feel free to add anecdotes and stories -- the more detail, the better! Have fun and enjoy!
