And the diaper did what?!?...

Nothing...obviously!

I think it is a diaper malfunction.

This.....

...ended up having an earlier this...

P.S. Of course this had to happen on her laundry day...AFTER all her laundry was done!

P.P.S. If any of you have any great ideas of how to get a poopy onesie off without getting it everywhere, I'd love to hear it!

6 Month Check-Up

Natalie had her 6 month check-up today with her pediatrician. Which also meant more shots. She did well considering they were shots, but with the oral one she clamped her mouth down and wouldn't open up.

Natalie's current stats are:

Weight: 14.7 lbs (about 20th percentile)

Length: 26.2 inches (75th percentile)

Head Circumference: 17.1 inches (about 70th percentile)

(This is a picture of her yesterday morning shortly after she woke up. Silly girl!)

Natalie's doctor said that she's lookin' good and a cute one. I definitely agree!

Food Update

Last month was a month of struggles with Natalie in regards to food. At the beginning of January she had a cold and started throwing up. I thought that she was throwing up her rice cereal because of the cough she had. I waited a little over a week after she was over her cold to restart the rice cereal. And up it came a little while later. We would try about once a week to see if she could keep it down. She could not.

I Googled what I thought it was. Eventually I called the on call pediatrician one night after her episode. He said what I thought...that Natalie might be allergic to rice cereal. Natalie doesn't show any typical allergy symptoms, but she will throw up the rice cereal 2 hours after eating it and have diarrhea for the next few days afterwards. We will confirm our thoughts/suspicions with Natalie's pediatrician later this month.

The on call pediatrician said we could start the "yellow" vegetables.

Natalie started sweet potatoes...can you tell???

The first few days were rough, but now she loves her sweet potatoes.

It Sucks!

We now have a devil in our house. And I think that I really like it and that I want our devil to stay around for a long time. Can it be true that a devil can be so good???

Earlier this week as I was vacuuming, our previous vacuum that we have had for almost 5 1/2 years broke. We ended up buying a Dirt Devil yesterday. Let's just say that it really sucks!!! I think I'm shocked and a little ashamed at how horrible our other vacuum was doing. Now I won't feel so bad letting Natalie roll all over the floor.

Our devil sucks and let's keep it that way!

Losin' It

So, I haven't been the best at exercising since Natalie has been born. I have done the Wii Fit a little and went for a few walks here and there.

But according to my Wii Fit I have lost 23 pounds in 4 1/2 months. And it's all thanks to this little girl...

And no, that weight loss isn't from giving birth to her. This is weight lost since the middle of September. It is because of nursing her and playing with her that I have lost the weight.

I am determined to do more once the weather gets nicer and Natalie and I can go for walks. There is still weight to be lost!

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!!!
