Katie at 4 months

Katie has been a joy! I can't believe she is already over 4 months old....She is sleeping through the night most nights, and is generally a very pleasant little girl. To compare her stats with Emma's at 4 months, she is about the same weight and a little shorter. For anyone who has seen the measuring process at the pediatrician, though, you know that it isn't an exact science!!! She rolled over for the first time about a week ago and is working now on trying to sit up by herself. Emma has been (for the most part) a good big sister, and was so excited to see Katie in the swing yesterday and was just dying to give her a "big one" (which means a big push). We made sure that this didn't happen!!!!

AFC Championship game

Pittsburgh is going to the Super Bowl!!!! We had Terri in town and my parents and the Greggs came over to watch the game with us. Emma put on her princess dress and immediately was down with the idea of cheering for the Steelers. "Go Steelers!!!!"

Katie slept in her basket right next to us as we all screamed and cheered. She is quite the good sleeper!!!

Katie Jane Spiess

We had Katie Jane on Jan. 7th at 8:09 in the morning. She weighed 8 lbs, 5 oz. and was 20 3/4 inches long. So, a little heavier and a little shorter than Emma. It is amazing to me that she was a little bigger than Emma since I can't remember Emma ever being that small!! I've had to lay low for the past few weeks since I had a c-section, but we are all doing great.

Katie is much quieter than Emma was at this point, which has made our first few weeks with her fairly easy. Emma is doing wonderfully with it all, and was great when I was away at the hospital for a few days. Apparently her major concerns were not where I was, but rather where my car and computer had disappeared to......"uh, oh......where'd mama's car go?" and "uh, oh....where's mama's computer?" were the two questions she had for my mom that first day that I was gone.

More to come in the next few weeks....
