Pocket Pal

Is that a Dachshund in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

The Boppy Bandit

One of these things is not like the other...

Blue Jean Baby

I can't believe that they actually make blue jeans for someone who weighs less than 10 pounds but I'm so happy they do because they are just too cute to handle! My friend Jamie bought these for Natalie and I've been anxiously awaiting the day she was big enough to put them on!

Daddy's Day Off

Jack had the day off for MLK day today so Natalie had lots of fun hanging out and playing with her daddy! Today was also a big day because it was the first time we took Natalie to the playroom at our gym. I was a little nervous but considering she was one of three children in there and I was only leaving her for an hour...while I was in the same building...I was able to muster up the strength! Happy to report she did just fine (and so did her mom!)

Friday Night Photo Shoot

Aunt Sally and cousin Lara sent Natalie the most adorable chair and rocking horse so of course we had to do an impromptu photo shoot. Our little baby looks like such a big girl in her chair! And although football season is over and we all know it wasn't exactly a solid year for Notre Dame Natalie is still showing off her Irish spirit :)

Grandma to the Rescue!

Natalie is still sick (BOO!!) so my mom came into town on Monday to lend a helping hand. It has been great having her here to help out...especially for the 3AM feedings! I'm happy to report that Natalie is showing signs of improvement and we even had a puke free day yesterday. Considering that she usually chooses to lose her bottle all over my face and in my hair I am definitely a happy camper! Looks like Grandma and her bag of tricks, along with the little blue smurf hat she knit for Natalie, worked like a charm.

Little Miss Sunshine

Natalie has been sick all week but Jack and I are amazed at how good she has been through all of her coughing spells, spitting up, etc. I think I have been on the verge of tears more than she has! Here are some pics of her from this morning looking happy as ever. By the looks of things you'd never know she was sick. Get well soon Natalie!
