Grandma Christie (with help from Grandpa Creon and Aunt Jessica) has been a life saver this week. I tried to take the whole week off to help with the new baby transition, but we had a few projects going on that couldn't wait that long. Our friends have been great too, bringing over meals almost every night. I've been impressed with how the big sisters have reacted too. Laura has been just superb, constantly washing her hands so she can touch Katelyn. Nikki has had a tougher time (being sick doesn't help) but hasn't shown many signs of jealousy...she did drop a container of baby wipes on Katie's head and took some skin off, but I'm sure it was quite accidental. Speaking of Nikki, she is starting to mimic words more and her new favorite phrase is "Oh man" whenever she plays with her toy "Swiper the Fox" of Dora fame or when any minor accident happens.
