More Pictures Worth 1000 Words

Yes, I'm cheating (again). I want so desperately to keep up with the blog, but a crying little Kate is keeping me away from my computer at times when I would normally write.


So as not to keep you wondering what's been going on at our house, here are a few images of the happenings at Casa de Dahlby. . .






A whole lot of sleeping, on the part of Kate Dahlby. And I think we have ourselves a 'passy baby' . . . which is totally different from big sister, who would never hold one in her mouth.

Oh -- and she is growing, though still a little peanut. Kate weighed in at 8 lbs, 11 oz at her one month appointment, putting her in the 39th percentile for weight (for those of you who know what that means). Meg was a whopping 10+ pounds at one month . . . no wonder Kate seems so small to me!





Lots and lots of visits from wonderful family and friends. Some of them come to see Jim, Meg, and me, too :)







Adjustments. Sometimes, being a big sister is kinda hard.






A little bit of baby acne. I documented it so that she'll always remember :) This was the worst day, last Wednesday. It's nearly gone now.






A whole lot of bonding. Meg LOVES Kate . . . kisses her all the time and constantly wants to hold her. We did have a time out session today for pushing Kate's swing (with Kate IN it), but other than that, Meg has been handling her sister with the best of care.






And finally, a photo session with a dear friend. My photographer friend came to see us just days after Kate was born, and we recently received the photos . . . which are priceless. Karen -- you are the best!


(One thing I have NOT had time for is editing of my own work . . . so many of the images seen here will look better once I finally get around to sprucing them up a bit! Sorry for the poor quality . . . forgive me, if you can.)

  3. Love, love, love all of the pictures -- especially the family pictures and Meg reading to Kate :)

    As for the pacy--as yes...we must talk. I have a little boy who keeps telling me he's giving his to baby Kate (along with like every other thing in this house it seems -- he wants to give it ALL to her) but then changes his mind.
