More pictures of our new family member

I’m going to continue a bit with my new-dad behavior and post a few more pictures of Catherine.

[Cate and Rick]
Proud dad moment: Catherine and Rick.

Catherine’s probably thinking “Hmm – did I inherit his hair or mom’s?”

Three generations: Catherine, Patty, and Patty’s dad.

I bet Catherine’s wondering when someone’s going to come by with lunch!

[Cate and her grandpas]
Proud grandpas: Catherine being held by Rick’s dad (top) and Patty’s dad (bottom).

You might notice that there’s a scrap of quilt showing in the top picture. That’s a signature quilt, signed by members of our families. Since Catherine can’t (yet) sign the quilt, we had to make do by letting her “sign” the quilt with her feet!

In the bottom picture, Catherine demonstrates the newborn baby’s “grab your finger and rip it off” reflex.

Edited to add:

Here are some pictures of the grandmothers with Catherine. I’d have added them earlier, but they were still on the camera!

Awwwwwwww, so cute!!! I can’t wait to see her (when Kaylin and I don’t have the crud!!!) 🙂

You need to have a whole new section devoted to Catherine now…not just the “personal chatter” sub-section… haha!

I have never written to a website, so this is new to me. Hopefully you will get this message. Congratulations on the new little bundle. Catherine is just adorable. I have been waiting to see some pictures ever since Maurice called and told us that Cate was born. Where are the pictures of the grandmothers? I can see that the grandfathers are in seventh heaven. I know the grandmothers are also. Hope all is well. Lots of love, Aunt Edna and Uncle Joe

Where are the pictures of the grandmothers?

I’ve posted a couple of additional pictures. When I originally posted this entry, I hadn’t downloaded the next batch of pictures from our camera.
