so much to share!
we take lots of pictures of natalie. i mean LOTS. and video, too. adorable video of her jabbering. playing with toys. sleeping. and we get SO MANY photos and video it seems too overwhelming to get the blog updated. but that's not fair to all of you, is it!? she's just so sweet and precious...it's only fair to share.
so i will do a better job of posting pictures. leave lots of comments and tell mike it's his job to keep the videos coming!
here are just a few from the last few weeks.

bubbles!
Natalie is changing so much every day. lately she is even more vocal and has switched from "a-goo" type noises to playing with her tongue when she makes sounds. the result is a lot of slobber and a lot of bubbles. ha! here's a little sample:
she is doing so good at school. her teachers think she's the best (of course!). her older buddies are getting moved up to the one year old class and some new babies (some not even born yet!) will move in to her class soon. until then it's just natalie and one other baby. LOTS of play time! we have our first parent teacher conference coming up. i have a feeling Natalie might get "talks out of turn" just like her momma :)
the little stinker makes her own rules, too. bumper? what bumper? look at this little monkey! please note she started in the MIDDLE of her bed.

5 months old!
our tiny baby girl isn't so tiny these days! she is more than 11 pounds and 23 inches long. she's finally on the growth chart, ha! in the tenth percentile for her height and weight for her age. but for a two month old she's well above the norm. she's somewhere in between. and just perfect! her doctor is so happy with her and is very impressed with her strength and motor skills.
natalie is outgrowing clothes like crazy. luckily, between her grammie, mimi and auntie andi she has plenty of new fashions to grow in to! it seems like just yesterday we were trying clothes on her to see what would fit. it was all so big on her! now she has a pile of things she has outgrown. whew!
she still doesn't like "tummy time" but has no problems holding her head up while you hold her and she pushes away from you to hold herself up. she is very close to sitting up by herself.
and needless to say she gets a loud mouth from her momma! the girl chatters and coos and giggles away. we think a tooth isn't far away. she has been chewing on her hands a lot more and on her toys, we found her some teething rings...she just isn't sure what to do with it yet!

natalie's first fourth of july!
remember i told you about natalie sucking on her fingers? i wish she didn't, but no joke...it's cute!
we had a busy fourth of july weekend which included a family wedding and fireworks! grammie teresa found her a red, white and blue dress to wear. i wore blue. mike wore white. very patriotic!
it's hard work being so cute!
on sunday, mike thought we should get natalie some fireworks for her first fourth of july. MAYBE we just wanted to play with them. ha! but natalie wasn't scared and watched every move mike made. there were also plenty of pops! and pows! all around our neighborhood. pretty!
and before the long weekend was over we had a fun afternoon with aunt betty, gg memo and pawpaw doug. we got a good picture with four generations. so special!
the summer is going by quickly but we have many more adventures ahead of us!
