Big Girl

I couldn't resist posting this picture. Natalie's new 'trick' is sitting in her pod chair and twirling her toy all by herself. She seems mesmerized by this toy. It occupies at least 2 minutes of her time! :) Other new 'trick' is rolling over from her tummy to her back. She'll be driving a car and applying for college before we know it! :)

Fun with the Newton Family

Natalie loved having her Cousin Ashley, Aunt Kim and Grandpa in town for the Baptism celebration. Ashley and Natalie had a special bond....Natalie easily shared her smiles, giggles and songs with her cousin. (FYI...Ashley is a superstar varsity field hockey player and we are so proud of her!!) This summer we are headed to Maryland so Natalie can meet her other cousins Tyler and Connor.

Baptism Weekend

Natalie was baptized at Pax Christi Catholic Church this weekend. Godparents are Uncle Todd and Aunt Kim....and we are so blessed to have them in Natalie's life. The dress Natalie wore was purchased by Grandma Barb many years ago. Aunt Kim and Cousin Ashley both wore it for their baptisms.

The Little Traveller

The little traveller! Natalie had her first plane trip this past weekend to visit her grandparents in Waco, Texas. She was a fantastic traveller....slept on all the plane rides! She loved smiling and 'talking' to her Grandmom and Granddaddy. Highlights of the trip were listening & watching her Grandmom play lullabies on the piano and wearing matching 'floppy hats' as Granddaddy.
