Kate is 2 months old!!!

As of yesterday, our baby girl is now 2 months old!!! I cannot believe how fast time goes by. I really cannot imagine our life without her. Lindsay put it best when yesterday she said "Ever since she was born, she is the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about at night." Obviously, she is in love with her baby sister. We all love our baby Katers...she is starting to smile and coo and is finally coming out of her "sleep all the time" phase so we are getting more awake time with her. She is up to sleeping about 8 hours straight through the night - we love that! I cannot go anywhere without getting comments on the girl with all the hair. My mother in law Shirley calls her the little girl with the big hair! All that hair comes at a price...constant bed head! If I spray it down once in a while, it does OK. But, if we are constantly petting her head, well, it sticks strait up!

Oh, I did have a funny experience in NC at Wal-Mart - I made a quick Wal-Mart run one morning with just Kate and while checking out, two older women working as cashiers started oohing and aahhing over "HIM" and how cute "HE" was and after a couple more male slanted pronouns, I couldn't take it anymore! You know me, I will say almost anything to anyone! I said, "Why do you keep calling HER a HIM? She is dressed from head to toe in pink, has a pink blanket and pink in her hair!" Oh, and another one...while walking through the Houston airport on Saturday, a woman walked by, taking notice of Lindsay and Caroline and asked, since Kate was mostly hidden in the sling, if "we finally got a boy in there." I said "No, I am thoroughly enjoying having my 3rd girl!" We get all kinds of "poor you - no boy yet" comments about having 3 girls, lots of them directed to my "poor husband." But we agree we are all so thrilled with our family of girls. I wouldn't have it any other way. (But we love sharing most everything we do in AZ with Hayden and if Jeannie would let me have him, I would take Everett in a heartbeat!)
(Kate and me on the left) Where Kate spent much of her time while out and about in NC...in her Peanut Shell Sling! She loves it in there ...it is a great tool for a baby that loves to be swaddled - we flew on the plane and went sightseeing and hiking and to a baseball game with her just like that and she was never happier or more content then when she was in her sling.
Kate and her cousin Cozette who is 10 months old - we had to get a picture of both pretty babies in their 4th of July finest! (With my sister in law Jeannie, Brad's wife. )
Couldn't leave the handsome daddy's and their baby girls out of the action! (Steve and his brother Brad. )

Stay tuned for more pictures from our trip to Asheville, NC!!!!
