Our little daughter was born last Saturday, the 6th of September, around 7:00 PM. She was 7 pounds 1 ounce and 19.5 inches long. Mom and Baby are healthy and we are so excited to have her as an addition to our family.
Her full name is Kathryn Bela Smith. For those of you who don't know, Kathryn is also my mother's name. We really like the nickname Kat and plan to use both Kat and Kathryn interchangeable, so feel free to call her either. I have to give a shout out to the original Cat back in Utah -our friend Lindsay's little girl Catalina (I think that is how it is spelled). She was the cutest little baby girl I had ever seen and only just recently took second place on the list =). Thanks Lindsay for letting us use it too. Her middle name, Bela, is pronounced "bay-la" and is Portuguese for beautiful. Emily served her mission in Brazil and my dad, sister, and brother-in-law did as well. I also took Portuguese classes at BYU, so Brazil has a special place in our hearts. Hopefully Bill will take us there this summer on some of his air miles=).
Well enough blabbering, here are some pics. I imagine most of you looked at them first anyway =).

She is so beautiful! Too bad you guys are all the way in Denver so we don't get to see her in person yet. I know it's hard to tell when they're so young, but I can see a lot of Emily in her. Congratulations!!!
