Katie at 7 Weeks!

Four generations of the Lucia family, how cool! This picture was taken on Christmas Eve and as you can tell Miss Katie was about half-awake. Of course she was most likely overwhelmed by all of the gifts she recieved, including clothing, jewelry, money and the most awesome book called "My Own Name" which spells out her name, page by page, and tells a neat little story in the process. It made me cry, not only because it was so special but because Katie is so fortunate to have a family that loves her so very, very much.
This picture was from Christmas Day. My parents and sisters and brothers-in-law came over for breakfast and then to open gifts, my mother makes this sausage and egg casserole every year on Christmas morning that we all crave and devoured quickly, oh and you have to have it with corn muffins. Tradition! I think Katie was still worn out from all of the excitement from the previous night because she slept through the whole opening gifts process, Aunt Liz and Uncle Tim made sure she was snug as a bug, while Aunt Sarah took picutres. (Secretly we all think Uncle Doug is scared of tiny Katie so he did a lot of staring but no holding!!) Katie got books about Bikes (the pedal kind), some Hokie baby stuff, and tons of stuff from Grammy and Grandpa Sylvanus including the cutiest outfit from Baby Gap with a fur collared sweater and fur rimmed jeans, OMG it is sooooooo cute!!
Today, December 26th, Kate had her 2 month doctors visit. I know it's two weeks early but becuase she was born prematurely her immunizations are off by two weeks so she had to get her second round of one shot and they decided to give her the 2 month shots two weeks early so she wouldn't have to come back. That was horrible; I have never heard her scream like that. And why haven't they figured out a way to combine all of those shots into one needle stick, I mean come on, five pokes in her thigh, that just seemed cruel. She did pretty well the rest of the day, she was very sleepy and we actually had to wake her up to eat, but by 10pm she was back to her normal self, watching TV in bed with us (that's the picture above). Oh and ginormous news, she is now 7 pounds 1 ounce!!! What a porker! I love it, she's filling out and getting rolls, it's awesome. Ok well that's it from us for now, I hope everyone has a great new year and keep checking back for new pictures, I try to post a few a week!
