8 Years and 1 Month

One month has already flown by. It's strange being home for this long and I'm not looking forward to going back to work in 8 weeks. I lose track of the days now....I never understood when Dan would ask me everyday what day it was. By not going to work, all the days just run together so now I know how Dan feels.

Kaitlyn is growing and eating very well. She's had her 1 month appt and is now 7 lb and 14 oz (20th percentile) and 21 1/4" (50th percentile). We remember Nathan was so much skinnier and wasn't gaining weight very well as he was always in the 5th percentile.

So far, Nathan hasn't been jealous of Kaitlyn. The most stressful part these days is making sure Nathan doesn't wake up Kaitlyn. He constantly wants to play with her and tries to wake her up by touching her or shaking her Pack 'n Play. Because he has a little cold, he wants to kiss her all the time so we've been busy making sure he doesn't kiss her lips or eyes!

We also had our 8 year anniversary, which was very uneventful. We usually do a dinner and movie date, but there's just no good movie out there worth spending. We saw so many good movies this summer in the theater, we didn't want to throw our money away on something bad or mediocre. We ended up having a nice steak dinner and going to Walmart & Assi! We couldn't remember the last time we went shopping together with just the two of us...no chasing after Nathan, making sure we stop by the toy section, running to the bathroom, etc. It was actually relaxing and strange not having him and Kaitlyn with us.
