Happy Five Months, Natalie!!

Natalie turns five months old today. Where does the time go? Here are some pictures of her and I together. She loves to play with me. I'll admit that I am a little timid around her because she tends to pull my fur way too hard. OUCH!


















I have to smell her fingers--just in case.



Now it's time to relax. Hope you've had a great five months, Natalie!!

Visits From Family

Auntie Rachele came to visit and watch Natalie last week. She was having fun feeding Natalie her rice cereal.
Natalie grabbed the spoon and fed herself! She enjoys it and sure makes a mess!
Uncle Billy, Aunt Jessi, and cousin Dylan came to visit on Sunday. Natalie was having a fun time playing with everyone. Dylan likes all of Natalie's toys.

Here's Dylan after a day at the Children's Museum. Natalie can't wait to go with next year.

First Foods

Natalie is starting to get the concept of eating rice cereal. It took a few weeks, but she now enjoys watching the spoon go in and out of her mouth. She eats cereal four times a week. Next step is baby food! By the way: Natalie rolled over this week for mommy and daddy!

Weekend Recap

Our weekend was very relaxing, a lot less busy than previous weekends! On Saturday, mommy, daddy, and Natalie went out to eat as a family. Natalie was such a good baby at the restaurant. They all spent some time over at the Reynolds house on Sunday. Natalie stayed with granny and gramps while mommy and daddy did some shopping. I am getting quite a reaction from Nat. When I walk into the room she brightens up, smiles, and even laughs at me sometimes. She loves to touch my fur--I think it's because I'm so soft. Ahhh...I love all the attention! I'm so fortunate to have my family around so much. Hope you all had a good weekend too!
Love,
Tanner

Happy Valentine's Day!!

We all wish you a happy Valentine's Day! We hope it was a sweet one.

Natalie made some heart-shaped cookies with the help of daddy and grandma of course! She even put her hands in the frosting! Yummy!!


Mommy, daddy and Natalie went to granny and gramps' house for dinner. Granny makes a heart-shaped meatloaf. I hear it was a good time.

Hope you'll be my Valentine,

Tanner

A Saturday Trip to Pine City

Saturday was snowy and cold, but mommy, daddy and Natalie bundled up and headed north to Pine City. Natalie spent time with Auntie Dorothy and Cousin Brody while mommy and daddy went to Mora to have their taxe$ done. When they returned, Grandpa Bill was there and Auntie Chanda, Uncle Kurt and Auntie Rachele soon followed. Everyone had a good time. They then traveled to Grandma Patti's for a brief visit. It was a long and fun day.

Stay warm,

The Many Faces of Natalie

Just a few fun pictures that were taken recently at home. Natalie is always busy doing something. If she's not eating or sleeping, she's playing! It's getting hard for me to keep up with her since I like to nap most of the day. Lately she has been grabbing at my fur and whiskers. It hurts a little bit but I know that Natalie loves me. Catch you all later!

Super Bowl Sunday

All dressed up and no Vikings to cheer for.
Daddy and Natalie watching the big game.
Natalie got tuckered out midway through. It's a long night for a little one.

Ash Wednesday

Today was the first Ash Wednesday for Natalie. I hear she was a very good girl at church. She even got some ashes on her forehead too!
