Katie... the first two weeks











#1 Question asked: Is it different having a girl than a boy? Strange. It really isn't. She wears pink. It's obvious when you change her diaper. Otherwise, she's just a baby!

Katie is a sweet thing... She loves to be held, especially by mom. Dad will suffice for short spurts, but eventually, mom makes everything better. She sleeps in a bassinet in our room - which is great for nighttime feeding, not so great when she starts her grunting sounds! Lucky for us, she's only had two nights where I'd call her a "normal" baby. Otherwise, she's been pretty dreamy, even sleeping a 5 hour stretch last Tuesday night! Wow! Since, she sticks to a 3-4 hour routine and sleeps immediately following! She loves to eat... and this is probably why she's already 9.5 pounds! She has her big brothers wrapped around her fingers. They spend a crazy amount of time talking to her in this soft, high-pitched, baby voice. It's pretty sweet to hear. (now if they were only that sweet to each other!)
So, in summary, she's cute, sweet, a great eater, sleeper, and cuddle-bug. Yes, she can be cranky, but who can't? We adore her!
