A New Addition


We welcomed Baby K to the family on Nov. 30th. Everyone is doing well (mmm, or as well as can be expected under limited-sleep circumstances.) She has been keeping us entertained with her coy smiles and gurgles, and reminders that her last meal was so five minutes ago, already. But in fact she seems to sleep more and spit up less than her sister did, if my foggy memory serves, and that is much welcomed.

We are now figuring out how this whole "kid" -> "kids" transition works. Little RR has been very considerate of her baby sister, but her parents are sometimes confusing the names, now that there are two little ones where before there was only one! Though by comparison, RR seems practically an adult since she walks and talks and is over four times Baby K's weight.

Meanwhile RR has been showing signs of really learning how to use the bathroom, at least during the day, which is certainly an encouraging development.

Congratulations! Such splendid news.

The transition is indeed interesting. It's a lot more tiring at first, since it's virtually impossible for both little ones to be quiet at the same time. But later, they play together!

RR has already started showing Baby K the important things in life. The first object to be shown to the new baby? A yellow rubber duckie, of course! Baby K didn't comment, but I'm sure she appreciated the thought.
