The Many Faces of Kate

The pediatrician's appointment went great this morning. Kate needed to gain four ounces in four days...one ounce per day is about the most you can expect from a newborn. Fortunately, her voracious appetite during the last few days has paid off, and she gained six ounces. Her clogged tear duct is completely better, and she got a clean bill of health. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean she's not incredibly frustrating at times, like when she wakes D up every hour and a half to nurse. It will help with her weight in the long run, but it's too frequent to be sustainable. We'll see what we can do during the next few days.

I've posted some nice pictures from the last two days in the usual place, plus a special set of pictures I like to call "The Many Faces of Kate." There are eight pictures all taken within a couple of minutes, demonstrating just a few of the many expressions Kate can bust out at a moment's notice. I've posted a few of the strangest here, just so you aren't overwhelmed by nonstop cuteness.

Kate's Kung Fu Face (those hands were fast as lightning)


Did she just swallow a whole lemon?


Kate doing her best Peter Griffin impersonation


I think this is my favorite of the bunch....I want to blow it up to mural size and put it on a wall.
