Kate was six weeks old on Saturday. Here are a few photos of her recent busy schedule.
She has been smiling more and more lately, and I think they are real smiles as opposed to the smile-like facial contortions she does when she's getting ready to fill up a diaper for me to change. At any rate, the smiling is just the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Kate recently met her Grandpa Wachdorf, who flew in from San Antonio to see her. Here they are discussing the World Series. Dan and his dad have been talking to Kate an awful lot about baseball, and she seems remarkably attentive. Maybe she'll be a little Red Sox fan.
If she goes to sleep unswaddled, this is what she does with her hands. And eventually she'll start waving her hands around and wake herself up. Then she looks at us like it's our fault she is conscious.
This bouncer seat my grandmother, Mimi, gave Kate is the only reason I get a shower in the mornings. She'll sit contentedly in there for up to a half hour. It's magic.
And here, yet again, is my child with a pacifier taking up half her face. She loves that thing. I just hope I can get it away from her before she goes to kindergarten.

I laughed out loud at Kate's non-swaddled sleeping pic. Hilarious! She looks like she's either praisin' Jesus or like she just won Olympic gold. Livia used to sleep with both hands tucked under her head, arms back like she was chillin' on some beach. There's nothing sweeter than a new baby, Haley. God bless your dear family. I love you guys!

Thanks Haley for putting up more pictures! She is such a cutie. I wish I could have been up there with Mom and Dad. I can't wait until we all get to be together!!

I trust Kate will be watching Game One of the World Series tonight. She better root for the Red Sox. I wouldn't want to have to demote her.

Kate is just amazing! She is so perfect and precious! Seeing her pictures make me want the next 6 months to zip by! But I know I probably need them to help prepare me for keeping my sanity! Sounds like you are managing great though- that's encouraging! Keep posting all the pictures and stories- they make my day!
