Cate at 2 months

12lb 8oz (5.67 kg), 24.5 inches (62.23 cm). Pretty good for a new bubby!

Emergency Conversations

Two actual conversations I overheard in the emergency waiting area of a hospital:

“I didn’t realize the knife was so sharp…”

and

“Apparently he had chest pain for weeks before…”

Both sounded so cliched they somehow stuck in my memory.  Hope whoever was involved made a full recovery.

Portland

This weekend we went on our first roadtrip with Cate to Portland. Sharon and I have been talking about going down here for a while so it was good to finally do it. We stayed downtown and spent most of our time wandering around the Pearl District and Nob Hill – both very cool areas. We both think Portland’s great.

Cate was awesome the whole time, considering she spent about 8 hours each day in her car seat. She seems not to notice lots of noise in restaurants and cafes which is good for Sharon and I We visited the Rose Garden this morning before heading back to sunny Seattle.
