Tooth #3 and BABYSITTER


Today was a big day for Natalie West. She got her 3rd tooth (top left) today. We went shopping at the mall and then.... she stayed home with her new baby sitter Faren while Daniel and I went on a date. Natalie was great for Faren, and now I feel relieved because we have a babysitter to watch Natalie in the fall when i return to school full time! =)

Natalie's first 4th of July






This 4th of July was Natalie's first time being in the neighborhood parade. She was definitely a hit! After the parade we had a block party BBQ and lit off fireworks. Natalie liked the fireworks, but LOVED her glowstick!

Our Little Girl is 6 Months!






-It doesn’t feel like she is a little baby anymore, more like a little munchkin girl

- She is 26 inches and weighs 21 lbs, that is 100% weight and 61% height

- Started eating solid foods this month, LOVES sweet potatoes and veggies, but does not like fruit

-When she eats, she opens her mouth wide and waits for the food to get put in

-Natalie has started creeping, backwards only, hopefully she will crawl soon

-Natalie has 1 tooth, the bottom right, came on 6/21/09

- This girl loves to laugh; she will throw her head back and laugh hysterically

- Natalie likes to play games, she has a great sense of humor and plays peek a boo with us

-Still has crazy hair, but now wears it up in a pony tail – what a big girl!

-She has been sitting unsupported for a few months, but now she really can sit there and play with her toys

-Natalie was in her first ever 4th of July Parade and was a HIT

-She likes fireworks, but LOVES her glow stick

- Natalie started going to the gym on 6/23/09, and loves it

-She was baby sat by someone other than family for the first time on 7/5/09

-Natalie still sleeps through the night, but now without a swaddle

-She can pass toys back and forth between both hands

-She LOVES Shiloh; she will pet her and then get real serious and pull her in and try to eat her

-Her hair never fell out, but it changed from black to blonde

-Her eyes are still an unknown color, almost green, but almost blue

-She likes to be outside, and really likes to swing in the hammock

-We upgraded her to a big girl car seat because her infant car seat only went to 20lbs

-She out grew her swing, but now is great in her walker – she pushes backwards

-When she lays down she does sit-ups, but cannot get all the way into a sitting position

-Natalie still sucks her fingers
