Capturing Kate

Before we left the hospital, I subjected Kate to her first photo shoot.

We started simple, mostly because she wasn't thrilled.

I totally love that the binky is practically as big as Kate's face.

Once she was content, I changed her clothes.

Lavender might be Kate's color, don't you think?

Here's a shot of Baby Kate on her way home from the hospital.

And one of her asleep in her bed for the first time.

{Note: she doesn't like it.}

I am one happy mama, and Kate is one sweet girl.

She is super content.

She has perfect skin.

Just today, she started waking up a bit,

offering periods of open-eyed wonder.

But sometimes, when she's half-asleep,

she gives the BEST two-dimpled grins.

Her days and nights are definitely mixed up.

She gets the hiccups fairly often,

but I don't recall her ever having them in utero.

My milk has arrived, and she's an amazing nurser.

The boys think she has tons of hair.

I just think she's fabulous.

Even in the middle of the night.
