Stick a fork in it....(almost)...

Sorry I haven't posted much lately - desperately trying to finish up my dissertation.  The good news - I've now written all four chapters, made the revisions recommended by my advisers for the first three, and am in the process of putting everything together in dissertation format (still need to write an introduction for it all).  The bad news - I'm having a hard time nailing down a date for my 5-person committee to convene for my defense.  It is looking like it will be June at the earliest.

Anyway, I posted a few pics from the last few weeks.  Kyle is getting more interactive by the day, and is generally pretty good natured when not hungry or tired.  Unfortunately, he also came down with his second cold (thanks for sharing, big brother).  Paul didn't get sick for his whole first year, so this newborn sickness thing is a new thing for us...brutal.

We had Kyle's 2 month check-up a couple weeks ago, and he weighed in at 12 lbs. 6 oz. - gained 4 lbs since birth - so even though he continues to spit up a portion of every meal, he is at least growing well.  I can't imagine how much he would weight if he didn't spit up as much as he does!

After we brought Johanna home, the first thing Lilia did was sneeze on her. The second kid has to be tougher!

Good luck finishing!
