Baby Sister Arrives

Whitney's new little baby sister, Avery, arrived this week. She weighed 8 pounds, which is over two pounds heavier than Whitney when she was born. But they were both 19 inches long. Needless to say, Avery has more rolls in her arms and chub in her cheeks.

Whitney keeps asking to pet Avery and tells her teacher all about "baby" and "cry" at school. She's very excited. This morning Whit was up at 4 am and asking to see the baby. That, coupled with Avery needing to eat in the early morning hours, is making for some tired parents. So hopefully the newness wears off soon.

I'm spending a few days off work so I can be a full-time dad. I've been trying to get Whit ready for school myself as well as picking up a few of the household chores. The ones I know how to do, at least. It's fun to be around the family more than usual. And even more fun to celebrate the arrival of a new little daughter.

Thanks, everyone. She's been a good kiddo too. Kinda fussy at night, but when she looks at you with those little eyes and those big cheeks, it's hard not to smile.
