Taken at the hospital, Katherine is one day old in this picture.
What a wonderful weekend we had! Katie’s Grandpa Tim traveled here by train from Connecticut to meet his new granddaughter. And her Uncle Nate & Aunt Shea drove up from Georgia, too. Everyone had lots of chances to cuddle with the little one, and everyone was treated to a little smile.
My computer wizards fixed my laptop while they were here – yes!!! And I decided to celebrate by changing my blog theme.
Nine-day-old Katie in her stroller.
Tim & I had a chance to take Katie out for some fresh air yesterday. She loved the bumpy parts of the stroller ride and kept her delighted grandparents enchanted with her ever-changing facial expressions, and also busy adjusting the shades whenever the sunlight threatened to get in her eyes.
Tim and the little one. ♥
Such a beautiful alert face and perfect coloring for a new born. She looks quite edible Barbara. Congratulations to all the family.
Thank you, Rosie. She is rather scrumptious and being there when she was born was the thrill of a lifetime!
You watched her being born? I can only imagine how thrilling it must’ve been 😀
I sure did! I even helped a little – it was a peak experience for me and I am so thankful that Larisa asked me to be there with her and Dima and the midwives. 🙂
Tears of joy
🙂
how sweet!
Thank you, Jeff!
Barbara, is it just the photos, or is Katie an “Old Soul”? Just look at her eyes….she looks so wise. She has been here before and knows every answer to every question there is in the whole world; if only she could share her knowledge with us all. Enjoy your beautiful new granddaughter.
Oh, and I love the new look of your website too. 🙂
Thank you, Joanne! It could well be that Katie is an old soul – if she is I am sure her great-grandpa (my father) has something to do with it. 🙂 Since my father died a year ago Larisa has felt his presence down here. Although Katie looks mostly like her father, we keep seeing her great-grandpa’s facial expressions and body language displayed in her tiny being.
She is so beautiful! I agree with Joanne. She already has a look of wisdom in her eyes. 🙂
Love your new decor.
Thank you, Robin! I do know that Katie is an observer – she seems aware of all that is going on around her and inside of her, too. 🙂
P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S!
That about sums her up, Laurie!
OMG–such incredible preciousness! What a cutie!
I’m back in the blogosphere—finally—and so happy I got to see this sweetie as part of my welcome back!
Hugs from Ecuador,
Kathy
Welcome back, Kathy! It’s so nice to hear from you again – I missed you! I hope you’re settled into your new place and have your internet squared away again. Life is such an adventure, isn’t it? *hugs*
She is SUCH a sweetheart. I absolutely adore her! (Probably not as much as her grandma, though.) Your new design is lovely as well.
Thank you, Kathy! Katie is definitely a little charmer – I will miss our morning cuddles and conversations when I have to go back to Connecticut.
What a beautiful girl. Loving this. Again, congratulations to all of you.
Thank you, Susan!
HAPPINESS!!!!
🙂
