Welcome Susanna Cate!

We are thrilled to introduce:

Susanna Cate Boerckel

Born on November 16, 2012, at 7:13 am
7 lb 10 oz and 20 inches long

We really can't believe what a precious gift Susanna Cate is to us.  We feel blessed beyond words to be her parents.  She is the sweetest, most precious little baby.  (Of course, we're not biased at all, right?!)  We love her so very much and fall more in love with her every day!

Susanna Cate is named after my mom, sisters, and grandmother, as Susan, Anne, Catherine, and Cathey are all family names.  These names also stem from even further back in my family (a great-great grandmother and great-grandmother.)  We are still trying to decide whether to call her "Susanna" or "Susanna Cate"--right now we call her both of them.  :)  Opinions are welcome, as we can't seem to make up our minds!  It seems like both names fit her very well.  

It's hard to believe that Susanna Cate is already over two weeks old.  Time has flown by and our little girl is growing so quickly!  She already looks very different from when she was born.  We think she looks like both of us--I think she looks more like Mark and he thinks she looks more like me.  

Here are some more pictures, starting with the day she was born:

 Just a few minutes old

 She loves tummy time!

She always stretches her arms over her head when she wakes up.

 Bath time!
