Mothers Day!

Well today was Joanies first mothers day! She had to work last night, so I had to let her sleep some when she got home.

She finally woke up about 1pm and we got our day started! She opened the card and gifts that I got for her and then we headed downtown to the saturday market..(which is saturday and sunday) Its a venders type market with lots of homemade/handmade stuff and good food. We walked around there for awhile and then got some lunch. Joanie got a tamale and I got a burrito, they where both fantastic!

We then drove to the pearl district of portland and walked around a nice little park and went into some shops there.

Next we went to 'YO cream' which is the best frozen yogurt that we have ever had! All heathly for you too:) Then we went and had sushi for dinner at 'hot pot sushi', and we ended the day with some shopping at Kohls!

All in all it was a pretty good and we got to do everything that we wanted to. Natalie did great tagging along with us and seemed to really like being outside!

Roll over!

So Natalie decided to roll over all by herself this past sunday! Joanie set her down in front of the fire place and walked away for just a second and when she came back she had rolled from her stomach to her back! We both where not sure if that actually happened so we put her on her stomach again and wa-la, she did it again!

She is changing so much everyday its crazy! Putting everything in her mouth now, and using both hands to grab stuff. She definatly seems to favor her right hand though, so maybe she will be right handed? I would perfer that since I know it can be harder to be left handed growing up, mostly not being able to use sissors or find a baseball glove that you want:)

Natalie tries to sit up every chance she gets now, if she is laying down and we are in front of her she tries so hard to sit up! Its so cute! So I just barely help her by grabbing her arms and she sits right up! She can also stand up very good with a little bit of help too! She loves to stand and shake her hips from side to side:) Looks like we have a little dancer on our hands!

Tonight Natalie took off the first 3 rings of that fisher price toy, you know the ones with the 5 different sized rings that you can put on and off, all by herself! Then she tries to put the whole thing in her mouth, which doesn't really work to well.

Natalie is growing so fast. She is now smiling a lot more. I am just waiting to here a little giggle. She is very observant and loves looking all around now. She had her 4 month appointment last week. She weighs 15.9 lbs and is 24 1/2 inches long. The Dr said she is a healthy breast fed baby! Natalie is getting so much fun!

Miah got to meet Natalie

Miah absolutely loved little Natalie. She wanted to hold her and would not let go of her hand. Miah will be a excellent big sister.
