29 weeks 2/29/12

Natalie turned 29 weeks this week.  Because of the storm, Daddy stayed home with Natalie on Thursday.  We can never seem to take her picture on the day that we have planned, so we usually do it some other time in the week.  Thursday, he gave her a bath, put her in a cute outfit and took her pictures.  This is the first one that he got. 

Her hair is so long in these photos.  I am really hesitant to cut it because she still has the bald spot in back and underneath all that long hair is very thin fine hair.  Sorry kid, you seem to have inherited your mom's hair.  Hopefully it will change for you as you get older.

These two together make me laugh because these were some of the last ones that he got and it seems like she is starting to not like having her picture taken.  She has started pursing her lips a lot like this. 


These two are from day care.  The one above she is holding the bottle for the first time.  Shannon is the only one that she will take the bottle from right now.  She pretty much refuses from Grammy Jean and Dad.  It's not too bad now because she can eat food now. 

The one below is in the new Johnny Jumper that Shannon got.  It hangs from the door frame and they can bounce in it.  She seems to like it pretty well.  We might have to get one of those for our house. 

Today, Natalie and I went to visit my high school friends and their kids.  We had a good time seeing everybody.  It had been a while since I had seen them. 
She ate some squash today and seemed to really like it.  She also tried some chicken by itself.  She ate a little bit of it but not much.  She made that face she always makes when she is not sure about it.  The doctor suggested putting it in something so we have made up a huge batch of chicken in sweet potato and are so excited to have her try that.  We have a lot of new foods on the list to try as she will be 7 months next week.  We will try carrots, potatoes, green beans, and peaches.  It also suggests asparagus which I cannot stand so Dad will have to cook it and feed it to her when I am not here.  I just can't take the smell.  Yuck!!  This kid will have more variety than we have. 


I finally got a video to upload.  We have a video monitor because my friend Hailey had one and she said it was really nice once the kids got older.  We didn't get a super fancy one but it works great.  It is so fun to watch what she does when she thinks no one is looking.  This is a video Chris took of her a couple of weeks ago.  So funny. 
We are doing well.  Sickness has left the family for a little while at least.  We got about a foot in the storm we had late last week.  Can't believe that it actually happened.  We hadn't had snow on the ground for months and now slam.  Oh well, this week it is supposed to be in the 60's.  What a weird winter.  Luckily spring is just around the corner.  Can't wait for all the flowers to bloom.  Love watching it all and now we have someone to show all this stuff to.  It is going to be so much fun.
Hope this finds everyone well.  See you soon.
