2 weeks

these past two weeks have totally flown by, and i sort of forgot about announcing our little kate to the blogosphere...here you go!




Kathryn (Kate) Doyle Fuquay joined us on Sunday, January 16th at 12:47 in the afternoon. she is a tiny little peanut, weighing 6 pounds 12 oz and 19.5 inches long. At first, we thought she looked just like big brother brooks, but as we spend more time with her she is developing a look all her own. she still has redish hair and blue eyes, but i think she's looking more like richard than brooks ever did. (yeah for daddy!)










At two weeks she is eating about 8 times a day and is very efficient. She has taken well to the bottle for one feeding with dad, giving mom a chance to sleep a little more in the early morning. She is very sleepy most of the time but happy when she does open her eyes. She really is only crying when she's having her diaper changed or to wake me up at 3am to eat! can't blame her for that. At our checkup yesterday, kate had grown to 7 pounds 10 oz and was 20.5 inches long - she is growing like a weed!

Kate is precious! Love that she's inherited the rasta hat! You look great! Brooks looks like he is making a great big brother (tips from x-man, huh?!), and yay that Richard gets to help out - I am sure he loving the daddy/daughter time!
