Who do you think Kathryn looks like?!

So, while Laur was here, she was nice enough to style Kathryn's hair into a nice little "faux hawk".  Pretty cute, right?! Then we got to thinking....she looks awfully familiar....

And we need to steal some of Dean's baby pictures from Kat next time we think about it, but here is a picture of baby Dean that Sister had sent us back when we had Quinn

So, it looks like Poppy might have predicted it-- both girls resemble a different side of the family!

Mom & Laur Visit

Still playing a little bit of catch up.  We were beyond thrilled to have Mom & Laur here for a week.  They drove from Tulsa and showed up on Saturday with a car full of presents!  We had a blast playing outside, cuddling, and just relaxing.  Here are some of the pictures from their visit.

Who knew Converse were back in?!

Quinn now thinks the only way to play TBall is in the sprinkler

Watering the flowers

Kathryn demanding food, hmm....where have we seen such a love for milk before?!

Kathryn's first real bath

Quinn still loving her sister

Nana taught Quinn about ponytails-- now she is always asking for a "pony"

Nana brought her lawn mower all the way from Tulsa

do you think Mom is happy here? I think she could have sat here with the girls for ever ;)

Quinn was helping Nana paint, and look what was delivered to the house!!

Bethany stopped by for the excitement

What are these things for?!

Haha, only for her Goddaughter would Laur attempt to put a tricycle together;)

Miss Kathryn slept through most of the excitement...

Well, all of the visitors have gone home and we are left to fend for ourselves.  Mommy and Daddy were pretty nervous; we know things will probably be pretty hectic around here for a while.  

But anytime I feel tired and cranky, all I have to do is think about my sweet family and how blessed I truly am.  I couldn't have asked for anything more. I love these three more than I could have ever imagined. 

Two week update

I am a little behind these days.... We are still doing great and thoroughly enjoying the newest addition to our family.  Kathryn is such a sweetheart and we all just adore her.  She loves to sleep & eat and is doing great with her naps. We are settling in with night-time sleep and we are up around 5/6 hrs at night.

Here are some more pictures we took of Kathryn at 2 weeks

And if you had any doubt that this is one cute child, take a look at this blog post from our photographer-- she was here this week and did an amazing job, here is just a sampling of Kathryn's first official photo shoot!

As you would expect from any soon-to-be two year old, she has her moments, but for the most part, Quinn still adores her sister!  I have a couple of videos I will post below- but she is so cute with Kathryn. As soon as she sees her, she gets right up in her face and says "hello baby", repeatedly! And her favorite things right now are holding her "siter" and she thinks it is hysterical when Kathryn gets the hiccups!

Some pictures of our two girls:

And here are some cute videos:

I have some more catch-up work to do, but hopefully I will be up to date soon!

She's Here!!

Kathryn Rose Driskell was born at 3:53 am on July 28

She was 6lbs 11oz, 19.75" and absolutely beautiful.  Dean and I are overwhelmed with love and happiness for our family and cannot believe how blessed we are to not only have each other, but now two beautiful, healthy and perfect little girls.  

My water broke at home while we were getting Quinn ready for bed on the 27th.  Our lifesaver and babysitter, Melissa came right over and stayed with Quinn until Aunt Poppy, Audrey and Mallory got here from Nashville.  I am still having trouble understanding how Poppy had the energy to load up the girls and jump in the car at 8PM with no notice, and drive from Nashville to Atlanta, all while she is EIGHT MONTHS Pregnant!!  But she did it, and we were so glad she did.  Quinn couldn't have been happier to see them, I think she smiled for three days straight.  

Kathryn is such a sweet baby and Quinn has started a run at world's best big sister.  She is taking her new role very seriously--she just adores Kathryn and wants to be with her every minute of the day.  

So things are good here at the Driskell house. Kathryn had her first check-up late last week and received all good reports from the doctor, so aside from straightening out her days from her nights, we are doing great!

Here is a link to the pictures we took at the hospital and I've posted a few below:

And here she is!!!

Kathryn has had a bunch of visitors this week and Nana Quinn & Aunt Laur will be here this weekend, so don't worry, there will be more pictures to come!!!
