Elizabeth was born on December 13, 2008 at 6:31 pm. This little peanut was 6 lbs 9 oz and 19 1/2 inches long... the exact same as her older brother! She scared us the first week with a bit of jaundice, but is doing well now. She cries only when she's hungry and is just a very content little girl. Already she has a slew of nicknames from her mommy and daddy (Buggaboo, Baby Doll, Lizzy, among others like Sweetie and Honey, etc). I'm feeling great too, although I am very tired. She wakes up quite a bit at night to eat and the only plus side to that (besides her getting the nourishment she needs, of course) is that her Daddy sleeps like a rock through it all, so he gets all the sleep he needs... meaning that he can better put up with his sleep deprived cranky wife...
Seriously, things couldn't be better. Kyle loves his little sister and always takes the time to give her a kiss on her head as he walks by and always looks for the chance to hold her... when he's not preoccupied with a Wii or computer game! His favorite things these days is everything Star Wars! He also loves "rough housing" with our Jack Russell Bobby, and playing "light sabers" with Devin...
We had a great Christmas and this past year has been absolutely wonderful with our marriage, and new baby... couldn't be happier and are looking forward to what this year has to bring us!
