New Life to Start the New Year

Peter Michael Casady was born Jan 7, 2012.  We got to spend a few days with our newest nephew who is just about the tiniest thing I've seen.  Even though Dominic weighed less than him at birth, I swear he was never that small!  We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Lincoln.  Andrew got to play with his cousins and I got to squeeze some baby cheeks and help out around the house.  Although I don't know how much of a help I was bringing two kids of my own.  We just added to the chaos...a good kind of chaos.  It's hard to believe that, between the two of us, Kristi and I have 7 kids.  I hope they grow up having so much fun together and will always stay close. 
After holding Pete, I realized just how much Dominic has grown in his 3 short months of life.  I must have been in denial because I have kept all of his six month clothes in a box thinking there's no way he was ready for them yet.  I finally tried them on him and to my surprise some are too small!  He'll be out of them in no time...which is a shame because he has so many cute outfits, thanks to Aunt Sommer lending us Elliott's clothes. 
I also just brought out the exersauser and discovered that he can support himself just fine in it.  I had to laugh when I first put him in it because I noticed a difference in Andrew and Dominic's personalities.  I remember when Andrew first got in he went crazy looking from one toy to the next, overwhelmed with all the possibilities and determined to play with all the toys at once.  Dominic sat there patiently and calmly studying each toy intensely. 
Dominic, I hope you stay my sweet patient child forever!
