34 weeks - 4/3/12 & 8 Months 4/9/12

Natalie turned 34 weeks last week.  We have been trying some new clothes the last few weeks.  We have a lot that we have gotten from friends so we have to have a new outfit every day.  Since she has been so into playing with the blocks, we gave her a couple of other things to play with including our playstation controller.

Natalie was getting a little upset and we really wanted to get a smile, so Mom came to the rescue.  She really likes it when I play peek-a-boo with my scarf. 

Then we got a smile

Friday was her first swim class.  She didn't have a nap before it so she was really tired.  She fell asleep on the way to the locker room from the pool after the class.  It is not a very long walk.  She then fell asleep when she got home with her wet hair and this is what she looked like when she woke up: 

Saturday, we went up to Alton.  They were having an Easter Egg Hunt for 0-3 yrs, so we went up so we could go with Kellan.  We were a little unprepared because it was really cold and windy.  We did not have a winter hat or a jacket, which is why she is wearing a sun hat and is wrapped in a blanket.  She wasn't all that impressed with it. 

Kellan wasn't impressed either.  He just wanted to run.

We skyped with Maw Maw & Beverly when we got to Alton.  We were on there for about 2 hours.  They just watched Kellan and Natalie do their things.

Rocky was just hanging out.

Grammy Jean and Grampy Dan bought Kellan a mini rocking chair from Cracker Barrel.  Rocky really likes it. 

Later in the afternoon, we planned to head to my parents house in Westmoreland.  Chris had other plans.  He got really really sick and I had to drive him back to Dover before I headed off to my parents with Natalie and Rocky.  He ended up being sick all night and he was thankful that he was home as he may not have made it to their house.  Here she is in her Easter dress that we borrowed from Shannon, our daycare provider.  Her daughter, who is 11 now, wore it when she was younger. 

Today, she turned 8 months.  Chris stayed home to recover another day so he had some help from Grammy Jean in getting her to smile for her pictures.

She does this raspberry thing every once in a while.  He got her right in the middle of it in this one.

Here is the bear.

Here she is again doing the raspberry thing.

Chris thinks this is her  Donald Trump "You're Fired!" face.

There's the smile we wanted.

Natalie, Rocky and I had a good Easter.  We missed church with my Mom because we were sleeping.  Miss Natalie decided to wake up at 5:30, which woke up the dog and he needed to go out.  we were all pretty tired so we needed our rest.  We had a good day.  Luckily, Chris is feeling better. 
Hope this finds everyone well.  We will see you in a couple of weeks.
