Here Comes Randal

I thought I’d actually post something about my newly born son on my blog. I’m afraid all the posts about him have so far only gone onto the family blog and nothing has made its way to my blog. He was born a week ago at 2:29 p.m., weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces, and was 20.5 inches long.
He’s been a gem of a baby so far. Sleeps all the time and isn’t even bothered by the invariably loud racket his sister makes running through the house. Speaking of his big sister, Katie the 2 year old, is taking things rather well. She’s a bit clingy and needy, but not terribly so. We’re doing our best to make her feel very important and loved.
Randal has been getting gifts like crazy. Here are two of my favorite so far. A blue monster named Big Toe and a bib stating “Here Comes Randal.” The latter being a reference to one of my favorite films, Clerks.

My little dark jedi of a daughter had her 2nd birthday over the weekend. Katie got to eat a lot of cupcake and ran around in a sugar infused frenzy. We had more than enough relatives to fill her grandparents house, so much so that she played shy for quite a while when we first arrived.
Tomorrow she’s in for a bigger shock. If all goes as planned she’s becoming a big sister. Bridget is scheduled to be induced tomorrow at 7am… well that’s when we’re supposed to get there at any rate. We’ll see how long it takes for the boy to come out… took Katie all day but 2nd babies come out faster… so THEY say.
Keep an eye on the family blog at http://www.greatwhitepaw.com for news and pictures. I’ll be posting them directly from my fancy pants cellphone. Everyone send the happy vibes so that every thing will go wonderfully!
Oh, and I just found out that my cousin Brad and his wife Bri are pregnant. The family tree just keep getting bigger!

The Chick-fil-a in Euless had an event for us City employees and their families. Free food, prizes, coupons, and dancing cows for all. It was warm a muggy, plus the mosquitoes were a bit thick, but it was fun. Got to show off our little girl to a few more people.

Did you know that Katie can sit up for quite a long time now?
It’s true!
Of course, someone has to prop her up because she can’t get herself into a sitting position yet… but it’s progress.
We’re also working on Katie holding the bottle all on her own… which has had limited success to date.
