Last weekend we went to visit our friends Brian and Kirsten and their new house. It is located in Scituate, MA. They are due in a couple of weeks to have a baby boy. Natalie had another stellar ride down there and back. If you notice in the picture below, this is the dress she came home from the hospital in. She fits in it now. So we were hanging out on their deck and our friend Tanya was holding her. She was a bit fussy and all of sudden she made this face:
It had to be the funniest thing we have ever seen. She has done it before but not so prominently. She has done it a few times since. This kid really knows how to tug at the heart strings. Don't you just want to give her a hug.
Sunday, while dad was out playing disc golf, mom and Natalie and Rocky hung out. It was really nice outside, so we sat on the deck. The dog really liked that because he loves any chance to sit in the sun. Natalie started on the table but as you can see the sun started creeping over. I decided to put her on the floor in the shade. Rocky was already there. They were so cute, I had to get a shot of that.
So my beautiful baby turned 9 weeks last week. She is doing really well. This past week Dad has been off to Pennsylvania, so I was a single mom for the week. We missed Dad so much. We have been face timed every night so he could see his little girl. One night all she did was yawn. She was tired. Mom is tired from the week too. But dad came back on Thursday night from Pennsylvania even though he had to travel to New York the next day. His boss asked if he wanted to get a hotel room near where they would be working and they would pick him up on the way, and he said no. He wanted to go home and spend some quality time with his daughter. How sweet!! My mother also came up because she babysat for Natalie on Friday. She and Natalie had a blast.

So here are her 9 week photos. I got her smiling again. She has been smiling like crazy now. She really focuses on your face and when you smile she smiles back. It makes my heart skip a beat every time. That will never get old. She had another good week at day care. We are really fortunate to have found Shannon. She is great with the kids. She mentioned another family had their youngest child in a center from 3-6 months and he was sick all the time with some pretty nasty stuff. She was taking a lot of time off of work because of it and decided to switch him over to Shannon's. He hasn't really been sick since. That is good to hear.
Next week is her 2 month appointment. I am thinking she is going to be doing well as she is getting heavier and heavier by the day. My unofficial weight check last Monday was 12.2lbs. Yikes!! She is in the next size diaper and some of the 3 month clothing is getting tight. We are thinking in the next couple of weeks that she will be moving up to her own room. She has only been waking me up once at night to nurse so I think I can handle going up stairs once. She will be a big girl then. Guess we will have to clean the mess up there.
Hope this finds you all well.
