What a fun morning!

Kate and I shared some good smiles this morning! She slept a little better last night, but not as good as a few nights ago. Regardless, I'm keeping my hopes up! But how can you be sleepy having this much fun!!

Smiley Kate is beautiful!

Tummy time!

SMILEY KATE

Hello again. Today we got the camera out for tummy time. Kate is getting really good at holding her head up. She has also started sleeping a little longer at a time. We're hopeful that the trend continues!! Following tummy time, she was all smiles. She laughs at her momma all the time now! And we carry on the most enlightening conversations! Soon she will have those conversations with her Mimi. I have to go back to work for a couple weeks starting next Monday. Mimi is coming up from Tennessee to take care of Baby Kate. Nannie will be up next for week two! We can't wait for the grandma's to arrive!

TUMMY TIME!!

Later gator!

Kate and Anna

Today Lauren and Anna Iwaszko came with us to Thursdays on First, a street fair here in Rochester. We had a great time strolling along and saw some cool stuff. After getting a cookie for a snack, we came back home. Anna is warming up to Kate. Not only did she let Lauren hold her for a while, she even held her herself! What a good big sister she will be someday!

Training begins...

Ready to Run...

Many of you know that Allison will be running a half marathon in November in support of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (check out the website: http://www.active.com/donate/sa08minnesota/hettinger for more details). Well, we all had our first outdoor run today. Kate got strapped into the jogging stroller and Daddy pushed her. That is hard work! Here's a picture of Daddy getting ready to run with his baby girl...

Mommy and Kate were both exhausted after this run! Thank goodness the race is three months away!

One good looking family!

The Hettinger's

Nannie, Pappy, Sissy and Uncle Michael went back to KC today. We had a wonderful weekend with them here. Before they left we held a marvelous photo shoot. Check out this good looking gang! Of course the smallest Hettinger is the cutest!

I'm six weeks old!

Hello! We've had a fun day on my 6 week birthday! Mommy, Nannie and Sissy all went shopping with me this morning. Then we had a visit from our friend Dr. Maury Pasternack. He came all the way from Wisconsin. The whole family went out to eat, but I always eat at home. Here are some pics of me hanging out with my mommy and getting ready to go shopping...

The Hettinger's Visit

Pappy, Nannie, Uncle Michael and Sissy came to visit this weekend. We've had such a good time. Everyone thinks I am so beautiful. I've also found my hands in the past few days. I'm trying to fit my whole hand in my mouth but it just won't fit! Enjoy the pictures!
