Happy Seven Months!

Happy seven months, Natalie!! Sorry I'm one day late! My family was very busy this weekend. On Saturday they took me for a ride in the car. Apparently I was supposed to go get registered to live in my city, but the line was 8 miles long! So mommy and daddy turned around and went home. I'll get my official papers some other day. At least I got a ride in the car and had my sister in the back seat with me. Natalie is growing fast and I love her more and more each day. She is just about crawling. She can move pretty fast across the floor but doesn't have it perfected yet. Soon she'll be into everything, just like me!

Fun in the Pool

Natalie and daddy went to the pool at the community center. Natalie enjoyed the time in the water even though it was a little colder than she is used to. My family plans to go to the pool at least once a week. I'll be at home where it's dry!

Plant a Baby

Mommy and daddy bought a large pot to plant geraniums in. Natalie had a fun time playing inside. Soon there will be dirt in it and the pot will be outside with pretty flowers.

I Wear My Sunglasses

Now that it is sunny(finally!) Natalie is trying out her sunglasses. She really seems to like them a lot. She'll keep them on for a quite some time before they end up in her mouth.

The Beaded Headpiece

Natalie was trying on Granny's beaded headpiece that came from Africa. Granny got such a fabulous picture that we had to share.

I'm gonna stick my tongue out at you mommy!! You are always taking so many pictures of me!!

Now I'll hide here under daddy's arm. Maybe the camera won't find me here!!

Ah....I am so relaxed. I just had a bottle and a big burp!

Peek-a-boo

My family went on a little vacation last weekend. Here they are playing around in the "cabin".

Noodles' Stats

Many of you may not know that Natalie's nickname is Noodles. It started when granny called her "noodley" instead of Natalie, and it stuck. A little while later it turned into just plain Noodles. Sometimes we say, "How's the noodle?" You get the idea. She had her six month well baby visit yesterday-just a couple weeks past her six month b-day. Natalie has officially doubled her birth weight. She weighs 19 lbs 11 ozs and is 26.5 inches long. All is well in babyville.

The World's Two Cutest Things - Puppies and Babies

On Saturday Natalie met a new four-legged friend named Claire. Natalie sure loved playing with her. They will be buddies for a long, long time.

TGIF

We're all looking forward to the weekend! Here are some pics of Natalie trying on a new hat. What a cute belly!

This N' That

In the past week Natalie has entertained daddy's friend since kindergarten, Monda and her son Joey........................
Chilled at the Mall of America amid the chaos of a Sunday crowd..............
And watched cousin Dylan ride the rides at Nickelodeon Universe. Someday Natalie will be big enough to join her.
