3 months already

Well she is already 3 months old!!! She had her checkup today and weighed in at 12lbs. 8oz. And she is now 23 1/2 inches long. This puts her in the 80% for her adjusted age (due date vs. actual birthday). She is still a little peanut compared to the other kids in her class, but they are monsters. There is a girl in her class whose mother is about 6'2 and dad is even taller. Needless to say she is a BIG kid. I am sure Natalie will be taller than all the other kids once she is in grade school. She will still only get formula for the next month and the doctor is hoping in that time that she will start to sleep through the night.

So, I blew it…. I thought by posting Joe's Father's Day gift on the blog Friday afternoon at 3:00 I would be safe. I assumed that he would not check it before the weekend. Well you know what they say about assumptions…. He saw. He still played along and did not open it until Father's Day. Other than that Father's Day was good we went to brunch and then for a walk.

Here is a picture of Joe and Natalie at Father's Day brunch.

Father's Day weekend

We have no real big plans for Father's Day but Indianapolis is moving and shaking this weekend. We have the Us Grad Prix this weekend aka F1, there is the Indy Jazz Fest as well as a parade of cars. I think that we are going to brunch on Sunday for Father's Day and that is about it. I think that with Natalie and I being sick that we are going to try and get some much needed rest. Ken and Nancy are going to be going to the F1 race on Sunday and it should be great weather for it. I think the high for Sunday is 73. Nothing like spring temps in the middle of June. I am sure all you Texans are super jealous.

Natalie "made" a special gift for her dad for Father's Day. The daycare did it but it was really nice. Here is a picture.



the poem says:
Walk a little slower Daddy,
Said a little child so small
I'm following in your footsteps
And I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they are hard to see:
So, walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday When I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be:
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true:
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you

I thought that her caregivers did a great job.

Here are some other pictures that we took earlier this week.







Have a great weekend!

First week

The first week of daycare is over and done with. Unfortunately little miss has caught a minor cold. She just sounds like she has a little nasal congestion. This is the first shock to her immune system and so hopefully she will come out healthy with no needs for meds.

Her caregivers are very nice and say that Natalie is a great baby!

She seems to be sleeping better at night when she gets home, I think this is because she can not stand to miss out on anything so she takes very short naps.

Amazingly enough Natalie will not be the tallest in her class. There are 2 little girls that are just giants. One is about 6 months old and weighs about 26lbs. Then there is another little girl that is about twice as long as Natalie. I met both other their mothers and one mother is about 5'10 and the other is well over 6 feet. Next to these girls Natalie looks like a little peanut. Apparently both of these girls are off the charts for their age as far as height and weight go.

No pictures today, sorry. Tried to take some this weekend but she got fussy every time we took out the camera. Maybe some towards the end of the week.

Talk to you all soon,
