41 Weeks - 5/22/12

Natalie turned 41 weeks this past week.  She is getting bigger and bigger and is looks like such a little girl now and not as much of a baby.  Her hair is super long as you can see in the photos.  I usually put it up in a pony tail in the middle or some barrettes.  I am still refusing to cut it because it is just so cute.  She gets curls around her ears. 

She was a bit happier when I took her photo this week.  Still trying to get those blocks. 

Just wanted to put this one in, becuase this is what most of my photos look like, so I only get like 1 or 2 good ones.  So funny though.

We had a super busy weekend.  Saturday we were off to the Portsmouth Farmer's Market.  She was all dressed up even with jellies that we found out later that Dad put on the wrong feet.  Shoes are overrated at this age. 

It was so hot out, so after the market we found a shady picnic table and hung out for a bit.  The rest of the afternoon was spent cleaning out the garage. 

This is the tent we bought sometime last year.  It is huge - 18' X 10'.  Big enough for me to stand in it and it can be split up into 2 separate compartments.  It also rolls up with everything inside to about a 2 foot cylinder.  It is pretty awesome.  Chris is taking it with him this weekend.  He and 2 of his friends are playing in a disc golf tournement up in Auburn Maine and are camping out for the weekend.

Sunday, we got up early(who am I kidding, this is the time we normally get up now.  It is not early anymore) and headed to Alton Bay.  Bob, Kellan, Dan, Chris, Natalie and I all went hiking up Mount Major.  What a good hike.  Natalie did really well, until I forced her to keep her hat on.  Finally we used the hood on her sweatshirt.  She was exhausted.  We got to the top around 11 after having to stop to nurse her.  She was not so happy in this photo.  She is super nosy so has to know what is going on at all times so refuses to nap.  We didn't spend too much time at the top because it was pretty sunny.  She had sunscreen on.  On the way down, she fell asleep for maybe 10 minutes.  We had a good time though.

After, we skyped with Beverly and Maw Maw.  Then later on we went on Natalie's first boat ride.  She was none to pleased about the life jacket.  I felt like it might be choking her or putting her in a sleeper hold.  She fussed when we slowed down and was ok when we sped up.  She fell asleep on the way back though. 

 She had a super long exhausting day, where she only slept about 3 hours from 6 am to about 7:30 pm.  She slept pretty soundly on the way home and Sunday night.  It was fun. 

This is just Mom and Natalie having some fun.

BATH TIME!!!

She is doing really well in her swim class now and her last one is this week.  We may be putting her in some more but not sure at this point.  Everyone else is doing well.  The Rancourt grandparents are coming up to visit this weekend so that should be fun.  Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day.
