Final moments.......

This week will wrap up my 3 months that I was able to stay home with Natalie. I am blessed and thankful beyond belief for this time, and wouldn't trade it for the world! Things I have come to love about her:
*the way she looks at me when eating
*the way she crains her head back to see me when holding her in my lap
*the way she sucks in air to make a noise when she is excited
*her constant kicking (unless I'm changing her!)
*her beauty
*her gummy smile that melts my heart every time
*her content personality, and the way she goes to others with ease
*that she is mine!

Yesterday was her 5 month birthday and she got her first taste of rice cereal! Great gift, right?!  She opened up nicely, but wasn't quite sure what to think about it. She did a pretty good job of using her tongue to push it back with only a few messes.

 She started getting really hungry at this point, and the rice wasn't cutting it. We just weren't fast enough!

 Her Poppi got her this bowl so I was showing it off!

We got this dinosaur toy from the Just Between Friends sale in Mesquite last week. Looks brand new and we got it for $12! This is the first time she has experienced it, and she seemed intrigued. Did you notice how well she is sitting up by herself?! Out of nowhere she has done this, and is getting better and better

She is really studying those flashing lights in this shot.

 And, or course, the dogs can't be overlooked. They were ready to play, and she loves watching them!

Those two really are the best of buds. Sad day when one of them goes=(
