3 months old today!

Hard to believe that three months ago, almost to the minute, Natalie was born! She's changed so much and I can practically see her growing before my eyes. She smiles and smiles and smiles, and has recently started to giggle. Giggle count is up to five now! I love having Natalie in my life and can't imagine how I could have possible been happy before I knew her.

2 month check up

Even though Natalie will be 3 months in about a week, she just had her 2 month check up. Dr. Manzo said she looks great and she's a very healthy little girl! She's 24 1/4 inches and 13 lbs 12 ozs... that puts her in the 94% for height and 91% for weight. She was a lucky girl, she escaped her shots. Somehow they ran out, so the poor baby will have to go back to the doctor some time next week just for shots. Pictures to come later...

Bumbo/Tummy Time

Natalie is getting stronger and stronger each day, she amazes me! Yesterday I put her in her "Bumbo" infant seat for the first time. It's great because it allows the baby to sit upright but still supports their backs. It's supposed to make the baby feel more included and she loved it. I think she likes the freedom to look around while sitting up like a big girl! Today we had some "tummy time" that actually went pretty well. Usually she cries after five seconds, today it took five minutes!

Natalie slept through the night!

Last night I joined a girlfriend of mine for dinner at Chili's. I was a bit nervous because Natalie has a tendency to be a little fussy in the evenings, but it went great! She looked around for about an hour, taking in all the sights and sounds and after a while she quietly fell asleep. Once we got home she slept until about 9:00, I changed her diaper and nursed her, put her down and she slept until 6:45 this morning! What a terrific little baby! Also, I always put her head towards the right side of her crib and this morning she woke up with her head at the left side! She had turned herself all the way around! Funny girl!

Jogging Stroller

So today I FINALLY got the opportunity to step out with the jogging stroller. I loved it! I decided to start off with a face paced walk just to get myself used to it; Natalie was such an angel! She slept the first half of the walk and was awake and happily looking around the second half. We got an hour walk! It was wonderful! Weather permitting, we'll be venturing out every day!

2 months old!

It's been a while since I've been able to update, I promise I'll be better.

Natalie was 2 months on the 18th. I can't believe she's been here that long already! She weighs 13 pounds and is sleeping so well at night! Last night she slept from 10:30 until 7:45! She's such a perfect baby!

Here are some 2 month photos! Enjoy!
