Big Sister Sydney

Sydney has loooovvveeed having a new baby in our house. She is always asking me if she can give Kate a hug and a kiss, and whenever Kate is chillin' on the floor Syd will lay down next to her and say cute things like, "I'm your big sister Sydney and I'm going to take care of you." She especially likes to hold Kate, and was really excited to help feed her a bottle.

Big sister Sydney in action.
Kate at 2 1/2 weeks old.

Thus far, Kate is my championed sleeper. She'll regularly do (at least!) 4 hour stretches between meals, which has made my life significantly easier. Especially since Spencer had to work the first two weeks in January to teach a Red Cross class.  We were both concerned about me getting thrown right in to having to take care of 3 kids all by myself, but she made it easy on me! At her two week check-up, her growth stats were:

  • Length- 21.85 in. (91st percentile)
  • Weight- 9 lbs. 1 oz. (66th percentile)
  • Head- 37 cm (68th percentile)
