5 months old!

Natalie is 5 months and doing great! We are settled into our new house, and she has been sleeping wonderfully. We didn't have a doctor visit this month, so I don't know how much she weighs, but she's still a healthy, growing baby. We introduced squash last week and I think she likes it okay. Her first bites, she wasn't too sure about it, and she still "shudders" sometimes, but will eat it when I give it to her. She still loves her cereal, and our next food to tackle is peas! Natalie also, has scooted a few times for her toys and is getting better at sitting up on her own. We have to be close by because she'll tumble at any time, but even if she does bonk her head, she's usually pretty good about it. :-) We're heading up to my families' for Christmas and will be there for 3 days, it'll be fun to be a part of Natalie's first Christmas. We already know she loves wrapping paper! We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Love, Matt, Ann & Natalie

It has been a crazy month! As most of you know, we moved to Oshkosh, WI this month because we wanted to be closer to family and up north again. Natalie was a trooper during all of the packing and the 1085 mile trip. Thankfully my mom rode in the car with me to help entertain her! :-) A few days after we arrived in Oshkosh, we drove to Port Huron to be with Matt's family during Thanksgiving. It was a great visit and Natalie was a good girl again. We had her 4 month check up right before we left Texas, along with another round of shots. She did great with the shots this time and barely even cried. She weighed in at 13 lbs. 13 oz. and is right on track. Dr. Julie said Natalie is doing great and is a healthy baby!

Natalie is growing very quickly and rolling over like crazy! She loves standing, and everyone says her legs are so strong. Her sleep schedule got a little messed up during the moving and traveling, so we're working on that again. But last night I only had to get up once so I'm thinking she'll be sleeping through the night again soon. She's very observant, and is always looking around and paying attention to what is going on. Her smile and laughs are contagious, we know she'll be a heartbreaker in a few years! Other than that, we are doing well in our new home and looking forward to the Holiday season! Love, Matt, Ann & Natalie
