Rolly-Polly

On Wednesday night Mike was reading some of his book to Natalie as she desperately was trying to grab the book, and then...voila!...she rolled over from her back to her tummy. Since then she has been doing a lot more of rolling back and forth.

Here she is in action:

I think that I need to either vacuum our bedroom floor more often...or...tape Natalie up with double sided sticky tape and let her help out with some chores around the house. I'm thinking that the later idea is a good one! :)

The Big 3-0!!!

Yesterday was Mike's 30th birthday. We were only able to celebrate a little since he had to work and also go to school. But Natalie sure enjoyed helping him open up his presents.

I am lucky to be married to such a wonderful man and have him be my best friend as well. He is the best husband and father!

Happy Birthday Love!!!

Let the Solids Begin

Natalie got some rice cereal for Christmas since her pediatrician said that she could start on it.

All ready for her new experience

What is that???

Natalie has done well eating her cereal and only made the questionable face the first few days. She actually loves it and will eat all that I prepare for her (and I'm sure that she would eat more if I'd make more).

Christmas Joys

We really enjoyed Christmas and being around family. I personally feel that I got the best present this year and she actually arrived on August 1st. We love our little Natalie! Santa and family was really generous to Natalie this year.

Natalie was so excited that she got rice cereal in her stocking.

Natalie and her spoils

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

4 Month Check-Up

Today Natalie went in for her 4 month check-up. I can't believe how quickly time is flying by! It seems like just yesterday she was born. Anyway, her stats are:

Weight: 13 lbs 4 oz (50th percentile)
Length: 24 1/2 inches (75th percentile)
Head Circumference: 16.3 inches (50th percentile)

So, basically in the last 2 months Natalie has only grown about a half an inch, put on 2 lbs, and her head has grown 1 inch in diameter. I would have thought that there would have been more progress considering the little rolls on her thighs and how some outfits are getting too small in length. Either way, she is still perfect!P.S. She did much better this time with the oral immunization than last time! And she only cried for less than a minute with the two shots.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was wonderful...yummy food and wonderful company! Natalie had fun entertaining everyone there. Here is Natalie and Grandma Lewis plotting and planning a Black Friday shopping trip. And Natalie was looking at all the toys she wants for Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
