Miss Peanut & the Dudey Man

The nicknames have begun for Kate. She's usually referred to as "Baby Kate," "Baby Tate," "Peanut," or my personal favorite "Miss Peanut." Nothing too unusual or crazy, but she is rarely called Kate, except by Ben. Ben's main nickname is "Dudey Man," or "Dudey" or sometimes "Benner." I always use a stern "Ben Fritsche!" when he's in trouble. That serves two purposes - 1) he knows he's in trouble and 2) if we're in public or around other people, it allows them to figure out how to pronounce our last name.

Miss Peanut had her 2-month appointment yesterday and she's doing great. She weighed in at 10 pounds 14 1/2 ounces (50%) and is 23 1/4" long (80%). Here are some pics of our growing girl and our little man.

This would be a great pic if Kate's right eye were open!

Elise visits pretty frequently and Ben always looks forward to seeing her and causing mischief with her.
