Kate, Amelia and Miles

Last weekend Emily brought Amelia and Miles up from San Diego to meet Kate. It was so much fun to have all the cousins together. I tired to take a picture of all the cousins together but since all the cousins are so little the pictures came out a little blurry. It is fun to think that Kate is two weeks in this picture, Miles is four months and Amelia is two and a half but in a few years they will all be best friends and be able to play together.

Amelia is such a great older cousin. She was fascinated by Kate's little hands and feet. Amelia liked to kiss Kate. It was so cute. Amelia was very gentle and made sure that Kate was warm and comfy.

Emily and I were amazed at the size difference between Miles and Kate. They are just a few months apart but right now they seem to different in size. Also, Kate is able to roll from side to side already where Miles doesn't want to roll. However, Miles is able to lift his head when he is on his stomach and Kate just doesn't have that strength yet.

Nap Time

Kate is a great sleeper. The older she gets the less she wakes up in the middle of the night. I can't wait until she is sleeping through the nights. She also is a great napper. She loves to lay on the couch and listen to the TV or other noises. For some reason she likes to have her hands free to move around and sometimes they end up behind her head. I also could just watch her sleep all days because she makes the cutest faces. She smiles, puckers, makes an Elvis face and so many more. It is the cutest thing. I often wonder what kind of dreams she is having because she is so animated in her sleep. We do not know all that babies can see, but I just imagine Kate having so many family members who have passed tell her jokes and stories that make her laugh. I know that she is being watched over and protected.

Meeting Some Family

Kate's Aunt's and Uncles were so excited to meet her. When we visit with the Andersen's Kate always has someone to love her and hold her.

Aunt Kari is a naturally. I think that Kari is becoming Kates favorite. Kate always eats well for Kari and sleeps well in Kari's arms.

Uncle Evan is always very careful with Kate and watches her every move. He is learning how to burp her and support her head. At first he would hold the very top of her head when we would tell him to support her head, now he knows he has to support her head at the neck.
I really like that Brian and I are so close to his parents. Both Grandma and Grandpa Andersen get to see Kate often and I know that they all love that.
Kate also likes being held by Grandpa. Kate wants to know why she has more hair than Grandpa Steve.
