Water Babe

One thing about our little Natalie is that she LOVES water! She loves her bath time and hates getting out.

On Memorial Day she sat at the end of a slip-and-slide and had lots of fun. Even though the water was cold she didn't want to get out.
Then this last Saturday we pulled out a little pool and let her play. She had so much fun!

Just splashing around.


Can you tell that this girl loves water?


Check out her two cute little chompers!

On Friday Natalie and I went and hung out with my parents. We also hung out with Spencer, Natalie's cousin, since he's visiting my parents.
We went to Salem Pond and fed the ducks.
Then played on the playground at Salem Pond.
And wandered around the Bean Museum at BYU.
It was a fun day hanging out and being around family!

P.S. Natalie has had her first tooth come in last Wednesday and then another on Saturday. She's only been a little whiny, a little drooly, and kind of clingy.

9 Month Check-Up

Natalie had her 9 month check up last week. Her current stats are:

Weight: 16.2 lbs (approx. 12th percentile)
Length: 26.9 inches (45th percentile)
Head Circumference: 17.6 inches (70th percentile)

Everything is good with Natalie. Even though Natalie's weight is on the low end of the scale there isn't any reason to be concerned. And I'm sure not concerned because this little girl can sure eat and eat and eat just like a teenage boy!

(Don't worry, right after she learned to do this her crib was put down as far as it could go. Don't you just love the crazy nap hair too!)

A few things about Natalie:

- She loves to eat! She doesn't like commercialized baby food and only wants "big people" food and gums it since she doesn't have teeth. She likes to eat anything we do, but she really favors peas and strawberries and absolutely LOVES bread!

- learned how to drink out of sippy cup a little over a week ago. She prefers the sippy cups with straws.

- is crawling around more and faster. She still does her army/inchworm crawl if she wants to get somewhere faster. But she is learning to crawl using one knee and the other foot.

- learned to pull herself up standing about 2 weeks ago. She also learned to get from her stomach to a sitting position about a week and a half ago.

- is VERY social and loves looking and interacting with other children. She is also social with adults too.

- is a little jib-jabber and will babble all the time until she is around a group of people and then she is usually quiet and watches them.

- she is waving more now to others than just to Mike and I.

- is starting to throw tantrums when she doesn't get things her way.

- gives the best loves after waking up in the morning and after naps!

- loves being outside, swinging, and going for walks.

Spring


We have been loving the nicer weather that we've had off and on for the past few weeks. The thing that I have loved most is seeing my flowers blooming in my yard. It makes my little heart happy to see things growing in our yard other than weeds. After living in our house for almost 4 1/2 years it is nice to have the grass that we planted last year and other things growing as well. I may not be the best at landscaping, but my goal this year is to keep my plants alive!



Natalie was just so cute the other week for church that she just needed to have her picture taken.

Happy Easter!

Natalie had a little Easter egg "hunt/crawl" at Grandma and Grandpa Lewis'.
Natalie just started crawling/inching her way around this last Thursday. (On the day that she turned 8 months old.) I guess that soon she will be moving a lot faster than an inchworm and we will have to get the house child proofed.
Happy with the goods!

Is there anything else?

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
