We've added another 10 little fingers and 10 little toes!!!

Well, she's here! Kate Suzanne Howard was born October 18, 2010 at 11:38 AM. We are SO glad she has finally joined our family. She weighed in at 8 lbs 10 1/2 oz and is 21 1/4 inches long. She's a big girl! She outweighed Gracie by 5 1/2 oz and is almost a whole inch taller.

So far, she has been such a mellow little sweetheart. I hope she continues to be like this and it's not just a tease:) She is absolutely perfect. It's just amazing how you can automatically love someone so much so instantaneously!

Gracie has jumped onboard the "Big Sister Train" really well, and loves Baby Kate. She says her name so cute...it sounds like "baby cakes" when she talks to her or about her. She loves to give her the binky and has been very helpful and bringing me something if I need it. What a good little helper!

I will blog about the whole birth process with Kate separately, but for now here are a few pictures of our precious new little bundle of joy! And, I promise to post more pictures soon.

I am living for the day when I can hold Baby Kate. Amazing how alert she is and I love how she looks at her daddy as if to say, "Oh, I dad!"
