It's so hard to believe that it's been almost 7 weeks since Kate joined us! In some ways, it seems like we just went to the hospital yesterday... in other ways, it seems like she's been part of the family forever. Either way, our little family is now complete and I couldn't be more proud of my girls!
Claire is a super big sister and obviously loves her "Baby Kate." She can't leave the house or go to bed without Kate getting a big kiss and a hug (which is a bit difficult with a 6 week old!). All in all, Claire is adjusting very well. I have to be honest and admit that we had a couple weeks with daily time-outs and our share of meltdowns, but things seems to be getting back to normal and I have to remind myself that her world has been turned a bit upside down and it's a big adjustment for her as well. She is such a big girl (as she makes sure to tell us every day) and has become my great little helper!
Kate is a sweet baby and pretty much a carbon copy of her big sister... at least physically! Personality is yet to be determined, but hard to imagine her being as high-energy as her sister. Not sure mom has the stamina to handle two just like Claire! Kate's growing like a weed and has gained over 3 lbs. in 6 weeks (she was 9 lbs. 10 oz. at the doctor last week). Our only issue to date is a bit of baby acid reflux, but hopefully it's nothing that Enfamil AR, a little prune juice, and some Zantac can't fix. Can you believe that babies take Zantac these days? She's a beautiful baby girl (and I'm not the least bit partial!) and we're just so thrilled that she is finally here... happy and healthy!
Here are a few recent pictures of the girls...
