Growing By Leaps and Bounds

Kathleen is a genius! I'm sure all parents say that about their little baby, but we actually mean it. Today, she rolled over all by herself. They say some babies can't even do that until they are two or three years old. Because our little prodigy turned seven weeks old at precisely 2:25pm today, it's indisputable... she's a genius.

Not only are her brain cells multiplying at a staggering rate, all her other cells are too. If you're curious just how fast she's growing, just stop by our house at around 1:30 or 3:30 or 5:30am. There's evidence of her current growth spurt all through the night! For those of you who would rather waste those hours sleeping, we offer further proof. She's over 9-1/2 pounds now, and she is quite tall for her age. She smiles and laughs more everday. Sometimes, when Kristen isn't looking, Kathleen even sticks out her tongue at us. But please don't tell Kristen, it's Kathleen and my little secret!
