5 weeks later and now 10 months old



Natalie is now 10 months old and has been home 5 weeks. It is hard for us to believe that it has been 5 weeks already but at the same time, it seems like she has always been here. I have really enjoyed time with just her while Andrew has been at day care and Paul has been at work, but I also love and look forward to the time when all four of us are together. There are ups and downs, but Andrew is becoming a great, loving big brother (though like all big brothers, he has his moments of wanting all the attention and all the toys, but as the oldest child myself, I can relate to that) and Paul and I love to hear our children laughing together. I also love watching Natalie move. She is quick! Her favorite destinations are the cats' food, the kitchen cupboards, and my leg. I love looking down and seeing her holding on to my leg and looking up at me. Tickling her and hearing her laugh is another favorite.

Since my last post, our computer decided to quit on us and we are now MAC users. We are still figuring out some of the kinks (like sending e-mail) and bookmarking all of our favorite websites again. In addition to the computer adventure, we went apple picking last weekend with my sister and family. The last time we went apple picking was a few weeks after Andrew came home and my sister was pregnant with my nephew. This time, Andrew and his cousin Davin were enjoying the apples with us and carrying their little bags of apples and Natalie enjoyed watching it all from the ergo.

I hope you enjoy your MAC! WOW it's been 5 weeks already. It does seem like yesterday I was reading you were getting Natalie. I'm so glad everything is falling into place for everyone. Yes, I think we will be able to catch you on the two days you gave me for Christmas! I'll be in touch.

congrats on your conversion. A new child, a new mac, sounds like a good month!

I love the pic at the end, my niece and nephews expressions are priceless. Davin is like I don't want to be sitting here, I want to run around. Andrew is like I am sweet and innocent older brother. and Natalie is like guys shh! they are taking our picture!

love it. can't wait to see you all!
