My Beautiful Girl

Spaghetti

Nat had spaghetti for dinner tonight. As you can see, she loves spaghetti! She's also a big fan of lasagna. Joe is very excited that she likes Italian food.

Playing at Carrie's house

Some more pics from playing at Carrie's house yesterday.

Liberty Day, Old Navy & Pizza

Yesterday we went to the Liberty Day celebration in Columbiana. Natalie had a great time riding around in her stroller and watching all the people. She especially liked the people who were walking around with little puppies. It started to rain about lunch time so we loaded up and went over to Old Navy for the 50% off sale. (Woo hoo! I love sales!) Joe got a bathing suit, Nat got some cute clothes and I got flip flops for $1. Afterwards, we went back to Liberty Day, met up with Matt & Carrie and had some yummy lunch, walked around looking at street vendors some more (I got a super cute monogramed bag) and then about 3:30 headed over to Matt & Carrie's house to rest and cool off. Natalie took a nap, then a bath, and then we headed out for dinner. The plan was to watch fireworks while we ate pizza, but Natalie wasn't too happy about fireworks, so we ended up bringing the pizza home to eat. Yesterday was a GREAT DAY!

Joe's Canoe Trip

About a month ago, Joe went on a three day camping/canoe trip. The day before he left, Joe had all his gear spread out on the living room floor and Natalie had a blast "helping" him get it all packed. I should have posted these pics already, but I just now got around downloading them.

our week in cell phone pics

These are some pics I've taken with my phone this week. They aren't the best quality - partly because I was using a phone and partly because Natalie is constantly moving around which makes most of them blurry. But... they're still cute!

Monday:

Natalie plays in the pack n play with one of her favorite toys. This is the Baby Einstein toy that Harry and Betsy gave her and she's loved playing with it since she was about 4 weeks old.

Tuesday:

Nat likes sitting between my feet when I'm in the recliner. This day, she got tired of patty-cake and started chewing the drawstring on my pants.

Wednesday:



I know she's not actually reading, but I love this picture because it looks like she is.

This is her Dr. Seuss book. She likes all the bright colors and I'm pretty sure she likes the way it tastes. I'm almost positive she couldn't care less about me reading it to her. Everytime I try to read it, I have to fight her for it. She'd much rather chew on it than give it to me to read.

Thursday:

We went over to Leigh's house to play. This is Natalie playing with one of Wyatt's bath towels.

Friday:



I took Natalie's Exersaucer apart this morning so she could play with it on the floor. She had tons of fun crawling around on it. It was like a mini obstical course for her.

no title necessary

I love these pics!

Here's Natalie sitting in her stroller being silly.




And here's Natalie playing with one of her new favorite toys. She loves to bang on pots and pans now.






Yesterday, we weighed her and she's 19 lbs 10 ozs. She's about to move into a forward facing car seat - woo hoo!

The Fortune Cookie

Sorry it's been a little while since I've posted. We've been really busy lately, and I haven't found much time to get online.

Here are a few pictures from the other day when we went to Jade Palace for lunch and Natalie tried her first fortune cookie. She thought it was great!

Daddy's Girl

Joe and Natalie looked so cute lying on the floor together the other day that I had to snap a few pics. Natalie sure loves her Daddy!!!

Happy Birthday, Mom-Mom!

Here's a love-filled "Happy Birthday" wish just for you, Mom-Mom.

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Mom-Mom. Happy Birthday to you!

We hope you had a great day. We miss you a lot and can't wait to see you.

PS - Natalie had a great time holding your birthday sign.
