23 weeks 1/17/12

Natalie turned 23 weeks this past week.  Big news this week: Natalie got her first teeth.  Both on the bottom.  Chris has been sticking his tongue out at Natalie and she has been doing it back.  Now we know that it was because she was feeling her teeth.  So exciting.  She is getting to be such a big girl. 

I didn't have a lot of photos to put up this week so I took some of my knitting projects that I have completed so far.  This is the sweater for Natalie that I did but unfortunately it took me a little longer than I thought and it doesn't quite fit her.  I have learned that now if I am making something for her it will need to be much bigger.  I am going to be making her a cardigan and sweater that is size 18 months.   

These are the fingerless gloves that I made for my sister-in-law Christina.  They were originally going to be for Christmas but again didn't happen.  Oh well, they are done now.  There is a hat but the pattern made it huge.

Chris is off to Florida for the week for work so it is just me and my babies.  Today, while I was making a crock pot dinner for myself, Natalie played in her exersaucer.  She is totally in love with the pink teether in her hand.  She holds on to that thing for dear life.  She does stick it in her mouth occasionally but today she was banging it on the exersaucer. 

It is a little big for her hence the box to stand on.

We are doing well.  Chris is enjoying sunny Florida while I am stuck in NH with all this cold weather.  Hopefully we don't get too much snow as our snow blower is really finicky.  Guess I will have to do it the old fashioned way with a shovel.  Next week should be fun but I took Friday off so it is a short work week.  Rocky had a vet appt last Monday and is on all sorts of meds for his eyes and skin issues.  He likes the antibiotics because hse gets peanut butter twice a day with them.  He has no issues internally but externally he is a mess.  He will get better as he always does.  And even though he is a mess, we still love him.  Who couldn't love the big marshmellow he is.  Hope all are well.
