What we've been up to

 Kate is growing and growing and growing. She's got little rolls on her legs and arms. It's so cute! She is eating a LOT! It's great to see her healthy appetite, especially because it helps her sleep more at night. She is starting to be awake a lot more during the day, which is really fun. She is smiling and cooing and starting to laugh. It's pretty cute.

The kids (especially Jared) have been anxious for her to start being more interest in toys and playing. Jared will pile toys around her, trying to catch her attention. So far she hasn't been interested, but I can tell that she is getting closer. She loves to kick her legs and she is starting to try to reach for things. If you put something in her hand, she will hold on to it with all her might.

Megan LOVES being a big sister. I think every newborn should come with an almost-eight-year-old girl who loves playing "mommy". She feeds her and burps her and rocks her. She's learning to change her clothes and diapers.

Jared is trying so hard to find ways to play with the baby, but mostly he plays near the baby. It's pretty cute to hear him talk to her, calling her Princess Leia as he waves his light saber around, fighting off imaginary bad guys.
