Growing so fast!!!

Six weeks ago when people kept saying that kids grow up so fast I never would have thought I would think the same thing since it seemed like we were in the hospital forever and awake for 24 hours a day. But now we see it. Natalie is growing so much, while we still get the daily comment about just how small she is we look at pictures and think, holy cow she is huge compared to what she was!!!. At her checkup on April 25th she weighed in at 8 1/2 lbs. and was 22 inches long. She has grown 2 inches and almost 2 lbs. I have attached some pictures the first is the day that she came home from the hospital and the other 5 days after her checkup in the same outfit. She fills it out so much better now!!!



Coming home from the hospital





6 weeks old





When my mom was out a couple of weeks ago she and my father wanted to buy a tree for little miss, we bought a Autumn Blaze Maple Tree. This is a hardy little tree, we have had some pretty bad weather since Joe planted the tree and it is seems to get more leaves the worse the weather gets. We are excited for Natalie to have a tree that she will be able to grow with and will be her place to get away from her parents as she gets older.







Jennifer came out to see her a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately when she was here it snowed, yes late April and we had snow. Coming from Texas this was a bit of a shock but we tried to make the best of it and did more of a car tour of Indy than a walking tour. We had a great visit and look forward to little miss going to Texas some time soon to meet Jen's little man. It is visits like this when I wish that we lived in Texas so that we could see each other more often and watch our kids grow up together. Since it is not the cards for now we will have to deal with the visits a couple times a year.







Natalie is home with Joe this week and I am back at work. Next week she will be going to spend the week with her Auntie Megan, Joe's sister, who has 3 boys of her own. I am hoping that she can train her to sleep through the night! The week after that my parents are back to spend the week with her and then 2 weeks later she will be off to daycare.

I will be posting more often now since she will be changing every day!! Check back soon for more pictures
