Natalie is 5 months old!

Natalie turned the big 5 months yesterday... She has been practicing sitting up by herself for a couple of weeks now and today she finally did it! She lasted about 5 minutes before falling forwards on her cute little nose, which elicited a big giggle out of her. We are having tons of fun with her as she just grows up a little bit more every day! I really have no idea how much she weighs but I am going to guess about 15 lbs, she is wearing mostly 6-9 month clothes and she's got some nice jelly donuts on her thighs!

On another note, Peter is getting really excited for me to get pregnant again... We are getting close, but give a lady a break! I see all these cute pregnant ladies and think... There is something about seeing that baby for the first time that makes you forget about all the morning sickness, weight gain, swelling, no sleeping, frequent trips to the ladies room, and the joys of labor! And don't forget about the CRS syndrome- "Can't remember shit" and Peter's favorite, "Preggars can't be choosers" when complaining that you have nothing to wear because nothing fits! No, but really, pregnancy IS FUN...

Work is going good, I am actually going to start working 4 days a week for a little extra money so I can take lots of time off with the next baby. I actually want to save that money for some spinners for my hooptie, (just kidding Christian and Janna!)

Rice Cereal! Yum Yum!

We just had to post some pictures of Natalie eating her rice cereal because she is just too darn cute. This was about her 5th time eating cereal and all of a sudden she just loved it! She was laughing and giggling and trying to feed herself! She is doing just wonderfully, she is 20 weeks old now! She is really getting strong and almost sitting up by herself, I can tell she is very anxious to start crawling... They grow up so fast!!

Happy New Year

Happy 2006 everybody! Wow... 2005 went by in a blur- I am a new mommy and these past few months with Natalie have flown by.

We had a great Christmas in Houston with the folks and a big party for Natalie to meet all her Texas friends! Natalie got to take her first ride on a motorcycle with her Uncle Tim (just kidding speechies- no TBI's for my baby)... but here's a pic of her. Grandma Walker is shipping us her boxes of presents, she really made out. I got some perfume... hmmm.

On another note, we celebrated New Years with a couple of friends here in town. Peter made a fancy gourmet dinner and we had lots to drink. This was all well and good when we went to bed at 2:30 until Nat got up at 6:00. Everyone else slept till 11 or so, but a mommy's work is never done! Here's some pics from the beginning of the night (when Nat was still awake), the ones from the end of the night are not so "sophisticated". Natalie would be ashamed of us!

I hope everybody has a great year, and oh yeah, my resolutions: Kiss my daughter every single chance I get, make some more babies, and stop working so darn hard!
