9 months!

I have been a very bad blogger this fall but I assure you that little Miss Natalie Claire is doing fantastic! She had her nine month appointment in November weighing in at 16.5 pounds and was 24 inches long (I think. I'm bad with all these numbers). Still petite but growing great! The doctor was very happy with her. She has her first tooth, is sitting up on her own and is just minutes away from crawling. For now she scoots backwards in a circle. Ha!

Here she is celebrating my birthday.

This month Natalie and I went to the Jenks Christmas parade. We saw floats, horses, cheerleaders...she really liked the cheerleaders. Maybe this will be Natalie one day?

She hasn't sat on Santa's lap but she did see him in the parade. She wasn't too impressed. Neither was the kid who fell asleep next to him apparently!

I asked a stranger to take our picture. He took about five and yet....these were the best shots.

At least you can tell we are both there!? We also visited Philbrook Museum's annual Festival of the Trees and Garden Glow. Here we are looking at the crazy decorated Christmas trees.

And the lit garden. It was a warm night and we had fun walking around.

We also had family photos made. Here is just a sample.

She will be a year old before we know it (WHAAA!!!!) We couldn't love this sweet girl more. Here is her signature sleeping move--hands thrown behind her head. Love her!
