Daddy’s Very Little Girl, photo by Phyllis Davis. View this photo larger.

When we visited Katie Rose in the NICU today, I got to hold her for the first time. First she explored the new environment, meaning mostly my chest hairs. Then she settled down for a nice snooze, as did I. There’s nothing like a warm baby in kangaroo care to make one sleepy.

While I was holding Katie, Phyllis snapped a few photos.

Katie is now up to 900 grams, or just shy of two pounds. My very little girl is growing well, keep knocking on that wood.
