Our Little Niece Allison Has Arrived

Yesterday was the big day for my sister Suzie...she had a little baby girl Allison Ann. (Yes, that means there are now cousins Addison & Allison!)

Ali weighed in at 7 lbs. 2 oz. For those keeping score, this means that little Maryanne is in the lead of the baby weight competition by producing the biggest baby: Nicholas at a solid 9 lbs. 8 oz. Okay, back to Ali....

The length turns out to be a little more confusing. She was first measured at 20 1/2 inches. Considering both Suzie and Steve are tall, this was not surprising. My dad, thinking the kid was actually longer, demanded a "remeasure." She somehow lost over an inch and was re-measured at 19 1/4 inches. Somehow this seams like college football stats...everyone is gigantic until they show up before draft time and are really measured....

Suzie was in very good spirits when I called her. At that moment, Steve was having to do the very first diaper change. I had to laugh...apparently he wouldn't let her finish doing her business before trying to change her and went through 3 diapers in 5 minutes. Any of us parents have to laugh at that one. :)

Anyways, I am looking forward to seeing my little niece this weekend. It is only a couple more months before a little nephew is due to arrive!
