She tried a popsicle. And liked it.

First Teacher, First "School"

Natalie had a great year at Children's Day Out. She went two days a week. At first, she was one of two kids in the baby room, so she had one teacher, Miss Carmen. After Christmas, a few other babies joined their class, and Miss Cathy came to help. Nat enjoys them both but seems especially possessive of Miss Carmen. We love her little school.

But she wouldn't smile.

Her Real Birthday

2/24/2012

We went to Jake's in Addison for lunchtime burgers. Natalie likes the waitresses.

Day 354

She can drink from a straw. (Maybe that's some

kind of redneck milestone, but we're OK with that.)

Day 321

Brushing hair, sort of (1/12/2012)

Day 256

She can crawl.

Day 254

We'd all been sick with colds, so we kept Natalie home on this sunny but frigid day. Megan still had the cough but no fever and decided to run this last cross-country meet of the season.

11/3/11

Her look says it was worth it. I agree.

Day 218

Megan's first cross-country meet (9/29/2011)

Day 213: Seven months old

She can pick up a Cheerio. She can scoot on her belly, too. And sit up pretty well. And maybe it's an accident, but she sometimes says Mama when she's crying.

Day 205

First time for cousins' sleep-over (9/16/2011)

Day 181: Eighth Grade, Day One

Day 126

She knows her toes.

6/29/11

Day 125

She likes her feet.

My feet are neat. (6/28/11)

Day 117

She can roll over.

Hey, I just rolled over. (6/20/11)

Day 114

Ignore the grainy video and my babytalk, and hear the sweet sound of Natalie's coos. She sounds just like the doves outside our home in Wichita Falls.

 

Update

I am behind on posting but not on taking photos, although I did miss one day this past week. We've been busily getting our Wichita Falls house ready to sell. That required a lot of de-cluttering and other work -- not so easy with a little one. I'll have photos up soon!

News update: Natalie can roll over from her tummy to her back. It happened about 10 days ago, right after I last posted a photo.

The sweetest thing right now, though, is that both of my girls are napping in the same room. We're at the Dallas condo doing Megan's laundry and repacking her for a busy summer. Megan fell asleep on one of her twin beds, and I put Natalie down, asleep, on the other.

I keep going in there to peek at them, those sweet, sleeping sisters. Shhh!
