Kate was born at 10:40pm on Election Day, 2006, in Florida. She weighed in at 6 pounds and 5 ounces. Though measuring a mere 19 inches, she was said to have more than made up for that with her mighty cry, wide-open blue-eyed gaze, and copious dark hair!

We'll be hearing more from Kate over the years to come!
