On July 26, 2008 at 8:55pm, Alyssa Riley Cutforth was born to Dan (my brother) and Kelley Cutforth. She was 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 18.5 in. long. Today, we went to the hospital to visit the newest addition to the Cutforth family.
Holding Alyssa, it brought back memories of holding Kaitlyn when she was that small. Over the past 13 months, I'd forgotten just how small and light she was at birth. Alyssa had been fed before we arrived, so she was very content to just let us hold her and pass her around. Kelley looked good, but understandably, a little tired. Katilyn seemed largely uninterested in the new baby and more interested in the breakfast bar that Julia (Kelley's friend) was feeding to her daughter (Heavenly, born 9 days after Kaitlyn).
Note: I won Alyssa's "guess the baby" game which is funny because Dan won Kaitlyn's "guess the baby" game .
After leaving the hospital in San Jose, we made our way to San Francisco where we had tickets to the SF Giants vs. Arizona Diamondbacks (section 124, row N). This was Kaitlyn's first baseball game and was an intriguing pitching matchup between Barry Zito (former A's pitcher who signed a $126M contract with the Giants and has been a huge disappointment with a 5-12 record) and Randy Johnson (born in Walnut Creek, 5 time Cy Young Award winner, 10 time all-star, 2nd most strikeouts in MLB history). Long story short, the Diamondbacks beat the Giants 7-2. Johnson was the winning pitcher (gave up 0 runs on 9 hits in 7 innings) and Zito was the losing pitcher (gave up 6 runs on 6 hits in 5 innings).
We met Shawnna's parents at the game and Kaitlyn was well behaved as usual. She enjoyed alternating between all of our laps, playing with an empty soda bottle and making eyes at the people behind us. We left at the bottom of the 8th inning (after Johnson left the game) and headed home to chill out for a bit before dinner and bedtime - another busy, but fun day.
