2 Months Old

Natalie is two months old today. Time goes by so fast, I can't even believe it. I've packed away the newborn clothes. Not sure if I will sell them or save them for the next person I know who has a girl. Either way, we won't be needing them. We're 99.9% sure that our family feels complete. Natalie is so sweet and loves to smile and "talk"....lots of cooing and screeching in the evenings! Her 2 month appointment is next week. I'm excited to see how much she's grown!

Mud Pies Anyone?

Yum. We bought Avery a Little Tykes "Makin' Mud Pies" outdoor kitchen the other day. It's been so cold that we haven't been outside to play with it. But it wasn't so bad today and she really wanted to "use the sink." While we were outside, she made me chocolate chip cookies and apple pie. This will definitely be a fun toy for the backyard this summer!

Camping

Fred can't wait to take Avery camping this summer. I'm sure that when Natalie is a little older, it will be a fun family adventure! But for now, Fred is excited for some father/daughter time with Avery. He was anxious to see if she liked sleeping in a tent so he set up a tent in the backyard. He actually set up 2; the small one is our tent and the bigger one is our friend's tent. It's huge!! So that is the one they slept in. Avery loved it! I went out to say goodnight and she had her flashlight and was "looking for animals." It was so funny! She has such an imagination. Fred said that she was talking to someone in the tent last night. She was talking about strawberries and daddy. We asked her this morning who she was talking to and she said "Greg". I don't know where she comes up with this stuff!


Springtime

It finally feels like Spring! Avery loves being outside and loves flowers. She watered my flower pots and had a great time! Last week I was able to capture some first smiles from Natalie. She is just too sweet. :)



Easter

Jody, Ryan and Grayson came over for Easter weekend. The kids had a great time. We went to an Easter egg hunt, dyed eggs and watched the kids go through their Easter baskets. Even sweet Natalie had a little basket.


One Month!



Natalie turned one month old on April 26th. I know, I'm almost a month late on this. Pretty soon I'll be posting her 2 month pictures! Oh, well. Better late than never.



She is such a good baby just like Avery was. We're so blessed and lucky!
