Teamwork

A successful marriage is rooted in teamwork, and that's why it's not necessary to single out individuals. So I don't think we need to focus on who "changed" Natalie's diaper last night (and forgot to put a new diaper on her).

We learned of this oversight when Natalie filled her outfit (and the swing) with plenty of urine, which was fun. So in case you were wondering, no our little girl is not yet potty trained.

Monday Mourning

Natalie and Mom are lamenting the fact that it's the beginning of a new week, so those two had to say "good bye" for the day when Mom left for work about 30 minutes ago.

Our fans have demanded some doggy photos so I'll post some Jo-jo images on the photo site later today. Have a wonderful Monday!

Meeting New Friends

Natalie got to meet a lot of new people on Saturday when some of our friends visited all afternoon. She did her best to impress everyone with her skills of napping & eating (and occasionally cooing & smiling). She also got to catch up with Grandma Linda, who returned from her California trip and visited Natalie on Sunday morning.

The nice weather today is making Mom and Dad excited about Spring time. We can't wait until Natalie can experience the outdoors and we can put some miles on the stroller!

Mom is looking forward to at least three exciting things today: A trip to the Y, bath time (and a new outfit) for Natalie, and the Oscars -- not necessarily in that order. I'm planning on taking advantage of the nice weather by fixing the garage door and installing the "extra" car seat base in the Ford -- should be exciting!

Natalie is taking a nap right now, but earlier she said to say "Hi" to everyone. She also wanted to say "congrats" to Cousin Evelyn, who took her first steps recently. It's good to know Natalie will have an expert teacher when it's time for her to learn that neat skill!

NGG Survives Shots!!!

So far so good...

Natalie got four shots this afternoon and was quite confused/scared at the time. But she took them like a big girl and stopped her crying with the help of a few hugs from Dad. The cutie has been sleeping ever since and her parents are so proud of her!

BMs are Exhausting

I write this at 6 a.m. after Natalie's first nearly 8-hour slumber. And yes, there was a moment about 6 hours in when I waited to hear her breathe before turning over to go back to sleep. I believe this marathon sleep has everything to do with poop. Natalie has stopped pooping on a daily basis, and when she lets 'er rip, it's a sight to behold. But last night, Joey asked her if she was a poop camel just storing it up because she pooped three times in four hours, smiling the whole time. That would make anyone sleep for 8 hours! That's all for now, poop camel and I are going back to sleep.

All Smiles =)

Mom enjoyed her four-day weekend, but it was back to school today...

Natalie just ate and is taking a nap right now; She seems to be getting bigger by the day!

Try and stay warm today and have a great Tuesday!

Sunday Fun

It's been an exciting day thus far!

Mom has been dealing with her illness (really stuffed up), and Natalie managed to fill her diaper (and most of her clothes) with poop and/or pee. Good times.

Natalie is now resting in her swing, certainly thankful for a warm bath and new outfit. I'm hoping my baby can get some sleep and that her Mom feels better -- wish us all luck!
