3 Months Old!

On Friday Natalie was 3 months old. We took her to get professional photos taken this morning and she was not in the mood. This is the only one we bought. She has been there 4 other times and has done great, but today was not her day. I still think it is adorable We did take some more photos of her today in this outfit as it has a really cute pink jacket with it. I will post those later. I think her eyes are changing. Looking back on other photos they looked a lot more blue and now I am not sure what color they will end up!

Congrats Suzanne!

Jeff's sister got married in Hawaii yesterday. Jeff sent me this photo of her over his cell phone. I am sure there will be more to come, but this is my first glance and I thought I would share it.

Congrats Vickie!!

My friend Vickie had her baby boy last night! His name is Lance and he weighed 9.2lbs and is 19.5 inches long. We are going to go meet him at lunch and I can't wait!

Another Year Older

Mommy and Natalie on Mommy's birthday before Mommy goes to work

So, today is my birthday, another year older - now I am 33. Wow, I can't believe it. This is the first year that I really feel complete - as silly as it sounds. I feel so lucky. I have a great hubby, a beautiful daughter, a good job, a great house, wonderful friends and the list goes on and on and on...the only thing I do wish is that Jeff was here to share it with me. He is currently in Hawaii attending his sisters wedding...I guess I will let him off the hook. :) So what is my wish for this new year? That nothing changes, because it is perfect, just the way it is.

Sweet Baby Talk

You Decide...

So, here are some of my baby photos...I think I can see me in Natalie, at least a little! We are still looking for some of Jeff's....

Why Being A Mom Rocks

I love solving problems andI think I am pretty good at it. In fact, lots of times Jeff tells me he just wants me to listen to his problem and not try and solve it. I think it is a women thing. Anyway, I had a new problem that needed a solution. The problem: I have to go back to work tomorrow (yes, I am very sad about it) and needed someplace to put Natalie that was both safe and entertaining while I am getting ready for work. The solution: Putting her travel swing in the bath tub, where she is safe from the 60lb. labradoodle, Riley, and hooking a DVD player up to the existing TV so she can watch Baby Einstein....tried it last night and it worked like magic! :)

Thank God I'm a Country Girl!

Me, Natalie and Dad/Grandpa

Just me in my John Deer gear!

Natalie and Grandpa

Grandpa giving Natalie some dinner! Yum!

Just hanging out with Grandpa!

As you know Natalie's Grandpa from Texas is here. Here are the outfits and hat he brought her (he has a ranch in Texas) and just some general shots from the trip....she sure loves her Grandpa!

New Noises

Natalie has been making all kinds of cooing noises lately, but this morning she laughed at Grandpa! It was too cute and I could argue the most beautiful noise ever made....

Just Me Being Cute!

This is me and Grandma. I am just getting ready to go to bed and she had to get one last squeeze in. Don't you just love my socks? Thanks Aunt Suzanne!

This is me just smiling and laughing at Grandpa. I have enjoyed his visit so much and have been a good little girl for him! Mommy is not sure what those lines on my head are....they kind of look like an airplane runway strip....

This is me in the very first outfit that Mommy and Daddy bought when they found out they were having a baby. They didn't know if they were having a boy or a girl, so it is very gender neutral. I still look very cute in it. I think, according to the length of the legs, that Mommy waited a little too long to put it on me and it may go in the "outgrown" box very soon.

This is me in my very cute Adidas outfit that Grandma got me. Mommy thinks I look so very grown up in it!

This is me right after I went to take the Great Grand Kids photo. I did so good and Mommy and Daddy even went out to eat after it and I just slept and hung out! It was such a nice night!

SUPER BABY!

Grandpa is in town and taught Natalie a new trick - sitting up! She is such a big girl!!
