Introducing Catherine Emily Wiitala

I don't have any "official" nieces or nephews, but I have adopted Jean's little ones as my "pseudo-nieces" and am SO excited to have another new precious baby to love and watch grow. Catherine Emily (Cate or Catie) joined big sister Bethie last Thursday evening coming into the world at 7 pounds 8 oz and 21 inches long. She is a beautiful little girl who I think looks a lot like her big sister did when Bethie was born a year and a 1/2 ago. I just had to share these photos of this little one with all of you--I probably won't get to meet her til March which I am kind of bummed about, but I will be very excited to get to watch her grow from a distance :)wide awake and almost naked baby! (the best kind =)"hello world!"Daddy (Josh) and his new little girlBig sister Bethie was apparently not so sure about baby Catie. Her response to "Bethie, should we take baby Catie home?" was "noooo"Bethie starting to warm up to baby "sisser" as she says

Officially warmed up--Bethie is now waving to baby Catie

Hi Mommy!

  2. How precious! I love babies... my best friend is getting ready to have her 2nd any day now. I'm excited!

    They pick the most beautiful names for their kids too. Congrats Jean and Josh (and Aunt Sarah too!) :)
