After being born, Cassandra was visited by Grandma and Grandpa Wendel. Per her request, there are no pictures of this meeting because Cassandra had not had time to bathe and dress appropriately. However, as her visitors were leaving, she was kind enough to demonstrate just how well developed her lungs were. On the way out the door, Grandma heard one of the nurses remark "What are they doing to that baby?" For the record, the nurse was not trying to give her a Barney CD but rather tried to bathe her.
It seems that Cassandra is an early developer. She was wide awake and looking around after being born, has fairly good neck control for her age, and has skipped the cute newborn cry and gone directly to three month-old wailing. (At this time, I'm sure that the peanut gallery will be trying to decide what snarky comment to append to this post.)
Later that night, Cassandra was visited by Grandma and Grandpa Hodges. She was also able to meet her Aunt Kristi.

Cassandra is the fourth granddaughter for the Hodges. Her mommy is the fourth Hodges girl. Interestingly enough, Grandma Hodges is one of three girls. I guess the Wendel family mojo was just overcome. (Daddy is the oldest of three boys, and many of his cousins have boys.) Perhaps we are simply trying to even out the scales.
