2 Months Old

Our Natalie is 2 months old now. At her 2 month appt last week, the doctor said she's doing great! She's a tall girl at 23.5"! She's smiling lots now...

I thought she looked so sweet taking a nap the other morning...

She got a round of shots at her doctor's appt. She looked so cute with a purple band-aid on each chubby thigh.

Being in Dad's nook is her favorite, all warm and cozy. Look how zonked she looks.

We test-drove her high-chair this morning. She's still too small for it, but at least we know she likes it!

Old Friends

I met some old friends from high school at the park the other day with all their kids. Amy, Allison, and Brad and their sisters, Jenny, Katie, and Jennifer were all there including Brad's wife, Kelly, and his mom, Kathy. Al was in town from Newfoundland, Brad and Kelly from San Francisco, and Jenny and Jennifer from the Seattle area. It was so fun to see everyone and their kids, especially Natalie, Beckett, and Noah who were all born within days of my Natalie. Funny too, to see how much all the kids look like their moms/dads!

I love this picture of all the kids (courtesy of Katie's blog!)...

Almost 8 Weeks

This past couple weeks, Natalie has been smiling and "talking" a lot! Its been fun to be able to interact with her more and hear her sweet little voice. Here are some of my recent attempts to catch a smile on camera....

This one looks like she's going up for a high five...
And the follow-through...

This is one of the bibs Uncle Brad and Auntie Michelle gave her...

A goofy grin...

In her fancy blue dress...

And finally, I bought this outfit months ago when I was pregnant. I thought it was cute...until I put it on her and realized they look a little like Hammer Pants.
