Now I'm going to teach her to play BASEBALL!!!!

Hello friends and family!

Beth and Katherine are doing very well. Beth has been sleeping on the baby's schedule. As you can imagine, this means that she is sleeping and awake at odd hours. The good news is that Katherine is already sleeping 2 1/2 to 4 hours at a stretch at night. So far, this post-pregnancy recovery has been much easier than the first time. This time around we had a lot of loving help from my Mom, Debbie, and Beth's Mom, Mimi. My Mom was here for the first week after Katherine's birth, and Mimi was here for about a week and a half after Mom left. Mimi left last Thursday and now we are adjusting to having to do all the work ourselves again! :-)

I thought I would share something fun that Geoffrey said about Katherine a few days ago. As I mentioned earlier, Geoffrey has been very excited about having a new sister. He loves his sis, and says so every day. One afternoon a few days ago, I was changing Katherine's diaper on the dining room changing table (we have a station set up upstairs and down) and Geoffrey was there watching and making silly faces at Kat. When Geoffrey stuck his tongue out at Katherine, she also happened to stick her tongue out at the same time! Geoffrey, who had on several occasions announced his intentions to teach Katherine everything he knows, was delighted by this and exclaimed, "Daddy! I taught Katherine how to stick out her tongue! Now I'm going to teach her to play baseball!"

All the best,

Matt
