Natalie is being loved on by Aunt Ashley and her cousin Audrey. Audrey always says, "I wanna hold Natawie!" When she is feeding her she lasts about 3 minutes then says, "Ok, I done with Natawie." It is too cute!
Not to be left out, her cousin, Evan, loves her too!
Aunt Ashley is making me laugh
And finally mommy gets one good shot of her smiling! Head on even! How precious is that?! Gotta love those little rolls coming up on her legs.=)
We think that Natalie is in the midst of a growth spurt. She is very cranky, not sleeping well for her naps, and eating more than normal. For the past 3 days she has eaten a total of 24 ounces instead of 22. Except today when she jumped it up to 26! We have moved her up to the big bottles now because we need to give her 5 ounces each feeding instead of 4. Last night I think we should have given her one more bottle but I was paranoid to 'overfeed' her. My mistake, and I paid for it! She was constantly fidgeting and fighting during the night, and I'm sure it was because she was hungry. Hopefully, tonight her tummy will be full and she will sleep like normal.
Right now Natalie can hold her weight quite well on her legs. When she is lying down and we pull her up by her arms, she pulls her whole body up and stands! Her head control is good and she has a strong neck. I weighed her today and she is an even 12 pounds and growing. I think she may have grown a half inch too! But that is just my unofficial measurement. She won't go back to the pedi until the end of February for her 4 month check up/shots.
She is still just as beautiful as ever though!
Love the pictures! She's so beautiful!
