One Month Young


Natalie is already a month old! It is so fun to start to see her discovering new things. She is beginning to see more and just in the past week she has started smiling, grinning, and cooing at us. I'll tell you what, it just melts mom and dad's heart. Every time Brady comes home from work or school and starts talking to her she just gets the biggest grin on her face. She really loves her daddy.
She has been a great baby so far. She rarely cries, she sleeps pretty well through the night, and she's just about the cutest thing ever. We really are blessed to have her in our family. Her latest thing she has found amusing is her animals on her mobile on her swing. She'll watch them and make faces at them for quite awhile without boring herself. It sure is helpful for mom when I need to get some things done. We have been so lucky to have so much help the first month. My mom stayed for two weeks and then Brady's mom stayed for a week. This allowed me to recover, finish work, and get into the hang of being a mom. I'm still working at it but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Natalie, we love you and we're so happy to have you in our little eternal family.

She sure is lots of fun, and she IS a good baby. So contented. And your retirement entry was great as well. I even started reading the list at the end when I realized "I don't know what any of this means, why am I reading it??" Ha!
