One Month Old!


"First you give me a bath, and then you make a picture?!?"
(Bath time is not Katherine's favorite part of the day.)


Ready for church on Sunday morning.


Our sweet little girl. She almost always sleeps with her arms out to the side like this.

Another daddy's girl in the making?

It is hard to believe, but Katherine is already one month old. Going through the newborn stage is a challenge, especially when we started at almost 9 months old with our first child. It is a different, yet very neat experience. It is amazing to see how much she grows and changes every day.

Katherine is a good baby. She usually only cries if she is hungry or needs to be changed. She sleeps well, usually waking once during the night to be changed and fed. She is still wearing newborn clothes right now, but now they fit her. When she came home, they just kind of hung on her--now she's filling them out. It looks like she'll be in 0-3 months before too long. She has huge blue eyes. We are curious to see what color they will end up. They will be beautiful, whatever the color. When she is awake, she is very alert. We can tell by watching her that her eyesight is getting better. She is starting to zero in on us when we are holding or talking to her.

We are even more into a routine now, and that should get even better as I can do more when I reach the 6 week mark. Then, I won't be so dependent on Chet to do all of the lifting, etc., which will make household tasks much simpler.

Life is good at our house. We are enjoying the task that God has put before us to raise these two precious little girls.

It's so wonderful to see how good things are where you are. Yes, the newborn thing is a completely different beast all together. Katherine is darling, I love that she is a good sleeper, enjoy that! It also makes it easier to have the energy to chase two and it makes it easier on Mary Joyce, so she is not forever waking. Thanks so much for sharing - can't believe it has been a month!
