Eila Kathryn

From May 2010

We are so happy to announce the arrival of our second daughter, Eila Kathryn Howe.

Date of birth: Thursday, May 27, 2010
Time: 3:16pm
Weight: 7 lbs, 5 oz
Length: 20"
Pronunciation: Eila (AY-la)

Her arrival was fast and unforgettable -- we arrived at the hospital only about 20 minutes before she "joined" us (with just 3 or 4 pushes!).

Dad helped with her first bath.

Big sister Annikka has a cold, so she waited to meet Eila until we came home from the hospital on Friday afternoon. She is absolutely thrilled with her "brand new" baby sister.

And now we are all cherishing these first few days together.

Here we are with less than two weeks to go until baby sister's arrival.

Cookies & giggles

Funny little video of Annikka enjoying Oreos -- somehow she quickly discovered that she could take the two sides apart and lick all the cream from the middle.



I really like hearing her giggles.
