Katie is 6 weeks old!

It's hard to believe that our sweet Katie was born 6 weeks ago yesterday. Even in this short amount of time she has already brought so much joy into our lives.

Recently she's shown some exciting signs of development. The most wonderful has been her SMILE! There is nothing more heartwarming than those first few open-mouthed, intentional, beautiful, beautiful smiles. My eyes water every time! She's also discovered her hands and her ability to grab and hit. Yesterday when I was using the aspirator to clear out her nose (an activity she thoroughly dislikes) she smacked the aspirator right out of my hands! Her neck muscles are improving everyday and she can now hold her head up for a few seconds. Her ability to see at a distance is also increasing and she can track us as we move around the room. We love to watch her grow.

My sister Lauren came in from Portland, Oregon and got to meet Katie for the first time this week. Katie loves her Aunt Lauren and has already taken a few naps on her. It's so special to share your baby with the ones you love!

Sweet smile!
