After Bath time:)

Week 8

 All smiles in Week 9!

 Before my bath!!  So excited!

 Natalie and her cousin Joey

He is getting so big and will be turning 3 next month!

A little something for Papa and Grandpa :)

Our little snow bear!  I took her outside for just a few minutes to watch Daddy snowblowing the driveway.  We got about 8 inches of snow by this morning and more to come today!

2 month visit

Natalie is growing so fast...I can't believe how many clothes we are already putting away because she is too long or the buttons are too tight!

Natalie went to the Dr's on February 10, 2011 for her two month visit.

Here are the stats:

Weight: 11 lbs. 14 oz  75%

Length: 23.8 inches  90%

Head Circumference: 15.9 inches  90%

"I'm 2 months old!"

Natalie after her bath...her hair is so curly if we don't brush it right after her bath!  I don't know we will have to see if she keeps the blue eyes and curly hair...could make it interesting!

Christmas 2010

The weekend before Christmas was the LaGuardia Christmas at the farm.  We didn't go because Natalie was so little, but on there way out there Joe, Amy, Charlie, Joey, Mark, Marie, Caden, Samantha and my parents stopped by.  I was a little emotional (that is an understatement!) when they left and Brian got to pick up the pieces!

  

So this year for Christmas we pretty much decided that we were staying in because of the wee one.  Luckily, Brian's parents, my parents, Aunt Joanne and Ali and John with Carter in tow decided to come to our house for Christmas.  My mom did the cooking and I just admired her and was soo grateful!  The steaks, twice baked potatoes, green beans and the rest of the food was delicious!  Next year we look forward to going out for Christmas so Natalie can run around and destroy decorations and the Christmas tree!

Christmas Morning...our little elf!

One month Visit

Natalie went to Dr. Galm for her one month visit on January 10th.

Dr. Galm said she looks great and is growing beautifully.  She basically said to continue doing whatever we are doing because she seems to be doing great!

Here are the stats:

Weight: 10 lbs. 1 oz  75%

Length: 22.7 inches  >90%

Head Circumference: 15 inches  75%

Week Two

Natalie is settling in and we are starting to feel like we are getting to know her.  She is still eating well and Brian and I are taking turns staying up with her when she is fussy at night.  I am starting to feel a little better and am so lucky that Brian is letting me get some sleep!

Week one

Our little girl at one week of age.  Natalie had a little bit of jaundice so we had to take her to the doctor's a few times to be checked.  She is eating like a champ and gaining weight without any issue!
