In response to some angry threats by some people, here are some pics of our 7 week old Natalie Paige!
Lately, Natalie has been enjoying her baths.
Baths are fun, but windows are distracting!
This evening, Natalie had fun showing off her genius-face.
After some tummy time, she got rolled over. Is she surprised?
Later on, she helped Dad tank some mobs!
Here’s a few pictures of Easter Weekend with my Mom, Danny, Jim, Chelsie, and Jackson. It was fun to have so many guests!
The night before, Natalie was sporting a shirt from Crazy Aunt Jamie. Cool points if you get the reference!
She also made some great progress in doing pushups! We didn’t catch her best, but here is a good start.
Natalie had some great visits with her Aunt Chelsie, Uncle Jim, and Nana:
At a birthday party for her Mom, Grandma Julie, and herself, Natalie sported a cute sweater and hat. I think she was doing a dance to show it off.
At the same party, Mom opened up a baby talking book, with pictures of her and Daddy!
This morning, Natalie and Jackson had a tummy-off on the floor. They both got frustrated, but enjoyed being flipped over for a photoshoot.
Aftewards, Natalie modeled the latest in baby girl Easter fashion, showing how practical it is for sleeping.
More to come?
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!
On Natalie’s second day at home, she got a visit from her cousin Jackson! We also enjoyed the company of her Aunts Joanna, Alison, and Chelsie, Uncle Jim, and Grandpa Wilkie.
At first, Jackson was a little curious:
Soon, however, he conquered his fears. Is he giving her the Vulcan Mindmeld?
After a bit of play time, they both enjoyed being held by Grandpa Wilkie!
Mollie and I are very excited to announce the arrival of our daughter, Natalie Paige! Natalie was born this morning, March 1st 2007, 9:47 AM Pacific Standard Time, at Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, CA, weighing in at 7 lbs, 6 oz, and measuring 21 inches long. Some of you probably know that her due date was actually March 23rd, but even being a few weeks early Natalie is healthy and strong, and has had no troubles of any kind. Both Natalie and Mollie are doing great afterwards, and we’re thrilled to welcome little Natalie into the world and our family.
Here’s a few pictures. No closeups of Natalie’s face on my camera yet, but those will come soon.
These two pictures are of Mollie shortly after receiving an epidural anesthetic. She looks much happier than she did 15 minutes before!
On the left is Natalie’s very first picture! It was taken less than a minute after her birth. On the right is Natalie’s second visit to her proud Mommy. 🙂
