All smiles...

What else could melt a mother's heart? I love it when I walk into the room and Catherine hears my voice, searches for my face, locks eyes with me, and then smiles & coos--totally makes up for the sleepless nights and smelling like baby spit up! What a doll!
And James is such an amazing big brother-- he's always gentle with Cate and always wants to know where she is if she's not in the room. He loves to help out and be a part of family activities and talks about it later with his expanding vocabulary, "I see Cate haba bath". You can see a little bit of the redness on her face in the photo above-- so far I've eliminated egg and dairy (and saw immediate improvement) but think I need to eliminate wheat next (the bumps are still very tight and cover her entire scalp and chest/neck-- James had the exact same thing and by his 2 month appointment it was full blown eczema).

Speaking of appointments, Cate had her 1 month check-up yesterday. Here are her stats:

Weight: 10 lbs. 8 oz. (90th percentile)
Height: 22.5 inches (94th percentile)
Head Circumference: 37.75 cm (70th percentile)

And last night she only woke up once between 8pm & 6:30am-- hope it's a growing trend!

OMG, Katherine looks just like Corey! Hope the allergy stuff goes away.
PS It is nice having you not work because now you update your blog often!
