Natalie is almost a month old!  She had a checkup at 3 weeks old last Friday (which was also her due date), where she weighed 8 pounds, 9 ounces– growing very well.  She makes lots of cute faces at us and we try to catch them on camera! Here’s some pictures of her expressions from the past week.

Ironic how it’s ME who has her days and nights mixed up! Natalie is sleeping and here I am wide awake at 1:30 AM. Oh well it’s a good time to post some new pictures.

Just hanging out with mom, and in the Moby (which I love– hands free and so comfy).

Her pucker up face:

She makes the funniest faces when you give her a pacifier. The Soothies (like they use in the hospital) are the only ones she will take (and even those only sometimes). I think they are so funny looking!

That’s all for now.

I’ll try to write a longer update later… in honor of Natalie’s 2 week birthday tomorrow!  Here’s a few pictures to hold you over until then.

She loves sitting in her Boppy pillow!

So, this evening we got to give Natalie a bath.  It was a lot of fun, and afterwards Natalie decided to pose for some pictures!

In the first picture there, you can see she is trying to fold her hands!  Then, while I was downloading and resizing the pictures to post, she did it!  All on her own with no assistance, Natalie folded her hands together.  A bit before the last picture, she had them up by her chin, folded perfectly one finger after another.  Such a smart girl!
