No words today, just a few pictures of Kate. We know that's what you want anyway. She's four weeks old this weekend.

We recently tried out Kate's swing for the first time. As usual with new experiences, she looked apprehensive at first, but seemed to like it once she got over the unfamiliarity. Here though, I think the expression says "Why were these people allowed to take me home from the hospital?"

The word of the last month has been "swaddle." Swaddling is pretty much the only trick we've got up our parenting sleeve, but so far it works like a charm to get her to go to sleep. It helps that we were given this nifty little wrap with velcro patches that make it easy to swaddle a baby. The fact that it looks like a little miniature straightjacket just adds humor.

Kate is growing so fast, and one of the things I want to remember is how beautiful and tiny and perfect her feet are. Don't you agree?

And lastly, this photo is a little blurry, but she's making such a hilarious face that I have to post it. This is Kate's glamorous face, or at least her very prissy face. I think photos like this disprove the theory that things like femininity and masculinity are learned. No one taught her to pucker up her lips like that, people.
