Happy time....

in the swing!! Natali was in her swing on Saturday and I went over to watch her for a little while and I saw her smile really big. I went to go get the camera, came back, and she kept smiling for maybe 5 or 6 times. I was talking to her in the baby kind of way the whole time trying to keep her smiling. She loved it! So these are a few of the photos I took - could have gotten a few more if my camera was faster. :) I don't have one of those cool cameras that lets you take a whole lot of pictures in a few seconds. That's okay - these will do and I know there will be lots more smiles to catch!!!!

Go Natali !

So we catch Natali doing this sometimes - is she really thinking about rolling over?? Who knows what she is really thinking or doing, but it makes for a good picture. :)

New Things Every Day

Well the little girl is doing something new just about every day it seems. Lately she has been smiling alot and also pushing herself up. Christina can talk to her and Natali just loves it, she will watch her and try really hard to understand what mom is telling her, then she will just put a happy face on and just enjoy listening to mom dote on her, it's easy to do, look at that cute smile!

When I have been holding her lately, she will get in just the right position and push herself up with her arms and hold her head and upper body out away from me for just a few seconds, grunting and carrying on as if it was the hardest task in the entire world, then she will let her little self crash down back into my shoulder when she can hold herself up no longer. It's so exciting to see the new things every day. -Josh

A visit

So Aunt Rebecca came to visit for a week and stayed at our home. We had a wonderful time and had some precious moments between her and Natali. I had a great time watching them together and am so glad for the time Rebecca was here.

Nothing I need to say...........

Sleeping

Natali loves to sleep in her swing and in this funny position. We will often find her in the morning in the position shown but with her blanket wrapped around her belly if she was swaddled the night before. So funny. But this picture she was just happy on a blanket on the floor one day.

Bath time

So I decided to entertain everyone with some bath time photos. The first couple times Natali didn't like to get a bath, but since has decided it is not so bad. She actually seems to enjoy it and sometimes cries when we take her out of her seat. So much fun bath time is!!!
First bath
Look at that belly!

A happy clean baby!
