My two favorite pictures so far.

Commence with the Smiles

The last week has really been busy for our "little bit of trouble." We actually hosted an engagement party for some of our good friends this weekend, and next to the frozen margarita machine on the back porch, Kate Scot was the star of the show. Next week begins the month of February 2009, which signals the steady ramp-up to when we start taking Kate Scot to her new school. We're really excited about having her accepted to Odyssey Early School near our house [http://www.odysseyearlyschool.com/program.htm]. Although we are going to be sad that we have to drop her off in the morning, we know that she will be well taken care of, and she'll be able to start meeting new friends.

And about the "smiles" I mentioned in the title of this post... she's really been smiling a lot lately. It's probably the sweetest thing I've ever laid my eyes on. Here's a link to some pictures of Kate Scot in her little tu-tu outfit. You can see how happy she is that her name is actually embroidered on her tush. Enjoy.

How many days old is Kate Scot? Just consult the tracker...

--------------------------
Since this post will eventually fade in the distance, I've created a smaller version of the tracker and placed it in the column on the left for future reference. I expect everyone to clear their calendars and plan to come over for her first birthday.

We now have a 10 pound baby!

It's hard to believe that Kate Scot was 5 weeks old yesterday! She's getting noticeably stronger and is able to focus and track things much better with her eyes. Here are a couple of pictures that we took tonight to show off some of her new Packer gear that she got from her loving extended family up Nort'. Just click on the picture to go to the web album. You can even look at the pictures in slideshow mode if you want.
