I’ve had a few requests to put a couple pictures together to compare what Kaitlyn and Julia look like at around the same age. So I found some pictures of Julia at about 2 weeks old and compared them with Kaitlyn now.
(By the way, Kaitlyn is on the left, Julia is on the right.)
I think there’s a lot of similarities between the two. (I also think I learned about not overdoing the flash too…)
There isn’t much to this picture update. However, Kaitlyn did get her very first bath this past week. Her cord fell off a couple weeks earlier than Julia’s did, I guess Kaitlyn is just advanced already…
Mom and grandma gave Kaitlyn a bath to make her smell all nice and stuff. Naturally, Kaitlyn did not really like getting a bath, and made quite the fuss. It will take some time and soon she will be loving baths like Julia does today.

Julia continues to shower Kaitlyn with affection. Sharon has to keep Julia from getting overzealous with Kaitlyn, but that doesn’t really seem to deter Julia.
As always, Julia is caught clapping in the video (twice!). Look for Julia’s random facial expression around the 1:16 mark. I’m not exactly sure what to make of it, but it is pretty funny.
Look after the jump for the video.
The local news has been making a big deal about today’s date. So what? Does that mean anything is going to be any luckier today? It’s amazing how people will look for coincidences, or try to find meaning where there is none.
My day hasn’t started off any luckier than any other day. Unless you count Julia only throw one piece of her breakfast at me instead of multiple pieces lucky.
If anything, all those people getting married today won’t have any excuse to forget their anniversary. That might be luckiest thing to come out of it for the guys.
Julia got to go to the Children’s Museum yesterday. She had quite the time, and made her way around most of the place. I’m not sure on a favorite thing, but she did spend quite a bit of time playing in the small ball pit. I’m not sure why, perhaps it was familiar with the balls at home.
She got to sit in an old mail truck, play with some “doctor” tools, play with bubbles, draw with chalk, and run around for a while.

We didn’t do much for the Fourth of July except have a photo shoot with Julia and Kaitlyn. Julia then saw some of the “fireworks” being set off in the street, and went to bed. We contemplated whether we wanted to take her to see the fireworks over at Grimsley, but decided not to, seeing how Julia didn’t care much for them last year. That, and we were tired.

So Kaitlyn is already one week old. It sure doesn’t seem like a week has gone by.
With the growing number of pictures with both Julia and Kaitlyn, I’ve created another photo album for both of them. I doubt it’s perfectly separated, but it’s probably pretty close. If there’s a third kid (big if), I don’t know how I’ll handle that. Maybe I’ll just dump all the files into one big album and let everyone just sort through it themselves…
Julia is helping out with taking care of Kaitlyn by making sure the swing works correctly. She gets a bit too excited, so we have to calm her down a bit before Kaitlyn gets thrown about too much. She ends the video with the requisite self-applause we’ve all come to expect.

I continue to be amazed at how well Julia is doing with Kaitlyn. Julia really wants to be involved, and we are letting her do some small stuff, like handing us diapers or washcloths. She really likes touching Kaitlyn’s nose and giving her kisses on the forehead.
Julia has also come into possession of an inflatable castle, thanks to Grandma Fox. Julia really had a ball on it earlier this week, but we had to cut it short because it was getting a bit hot outside for her.

In this video, Julia is sitting next to Kaitlyn just after we get home from the hospital. We were a bit concerned on their first meeting in the house, but our fears were quickly erased.
Look after the jump for the video.
