Happy Hippo

This is Natali enjoying time on the Happy Hippo. Also, she went through a phase of about a week when anytime someone whistled, she would smile. It could be right in front of her or from across the room. I am pretty sure in this picture, I was whistling. This is one of my favorite pictures just because of the way she is smiling. :)

12 POUNDS!!!!!

Yes, our baby girl is 12 pounds now. I weighed her at work on Tuesday and I was quite amazed. We knew she was getting bigger and heavier, but I was thinking like 10 1/2 or something. Anyways. I have retired some of her onesies and some more are starting to be snug. Tomorrow is Natali's 3 month birthday - a quarter of a year!! It has been an unbelievable ride with the new addition to the Edinger family. What will the next 3 months hold? :) .......

Changing table

It is so funny to me that a baby can get so happy on a changing table. Natali almost always starts smiling and "talking" when she is layed down on it - unless she is hungry of course. Then you just go as fast as you can and get down to the business of feeding. :) But I have started keeping my camera on the changing table some days because there are so many opportunities for cute photos. So here are a few.......

Time flies...

when you are having fun. :0) I can't believe it has been almost 2 weeks since I last posted on here. I started back to work last Wednesday - I am working just a few days a week - between 15 and 20 hours or so. I am glad to get back to what I love! And it gives me a chance to have "adult interaction". Natali seems to be doing okay with the change. Josh watches her some days and Josh's mom (and dad sometimes) watches her one day a week. I am so thankful we are able to work this out and I can work.
I will be trying to get some pictures up on here either later tonight or tomorrow. Natali is changing so much - she is so responsive, she "talks", and she sure can follow your movements. Well, off to do something else while Natali is sleeping!!

Faces

I think it is great when you catch funny faces while trying to get the perfect smiling pictures.

Hope you enjoy these silly pics of the baby girl!!

Update

Well, Natali had her 2 month check up and the doctor says she looks good! She weighs 9 pounds 11 ounces and is 22 inches long. Natali got 4 vaccinations - 1 oral and 3 injections. She cried on the first shot but then seemed to be okay for the others. :) She got 3 pink camoflauge bandaids on her thighs. I don't think they made it feel much better though.

Natali is pretty much on a schedule now and sleeps about 6-7 hours at night which we are very thankful for. Not too much else new going on. We are just enjoying the changes in Natali and her smiles!
