Swimming in paper

Here is the second video of Natalie swimming in the paper. Thanks for all your help Holden giving Natalie more paper :)

Christmas exchange with Holden

Here are two more videos from our evening with Holden, Katie and Kara. The first one is Holden and Natalie hanging out in his crib. They are too cute together. The second clip is Natalie swimming in wrapping paper. I think she loved the wrapping paper more then the presents and Holden loved Natalie's presents more then his.

Holden & Natalie kissing

Holden is Natalie's future husband. He is my best friend Katie's son. He was born almost a year before Natalie. Here is our attempt to get Holden to kiss Natalie. I think he would rather have Natalie kissing him. He also may have been a little scared of Natalie. He hasn't seen her for a while and I think her was surprised she could sit up and grab him.

Zoe...

Ryan and I went to see Marley and Me last night and our wonderful friends Heather and Mike watched Natalie for us. Thanks guys! We really enjoyed the movie. It made me think about how great Zoe is and how I need to pay more attention to her. She has been so great with Natalie, if you don't count the dozen or so pacifiers and burp cloths she has eaten. She use to be our baby and now things are very different. I just wanted to make a little collage for her. I think she is really starting to get use to Natalie and even play with her some times. In these pictures you will see her best friend Izzy who you may remember came to stay with us a couple of summers ago. You can also see her dressed up as Eeyore courtesy of Kara's sister Jen who has a closet full of dog Halloween costumes.

Christmas morning dance

Natalie was so excited to open her first present from

grammy that she did a dance. She is too cute!

Scott Family Christmas

Later Christmas day we went to Ryan's parents house. They had a full house! Both of his sisters and their husbands and two kids each were there. His aunt and uncle from Texas with there 3 kids and Ryan's grandparents on his mother's side were there. If you look at the picture in the middle you will see all the kids. Natalie was asleep but they are in order from oldest to youngest.

Christmas at the Scott's

Here is a video of Natalie's cousin Collin talking and having fun with her. He is one of her favorite cousins. She loves laughing and talking to him. She was so suprised that Collin could speak her language, that she couldn't stop talking to him.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning we went to my mom's. We had a lot of fun! She made a wonderful breakfast for us. There was a really good fruit salad that Natalie really enjoyed. We put a variety of fruit in her little mesh chewy thing. She went crazy for the fruit! Julianna got candy land and played over and over. Mom my got Ryan and I a video camera. I am going to attempt to post some fun videos we took. Thanks mom!

Christmas Party

We went to a Christmas party at my cousin's house. Natalie had fun hanging out with her cousins Caroline, Leah, and Daniel. She loved opening her new pajamas and eating the paper!

Christmas Eve

We went to my mom's for Christmas Eve. She made my favorite dinner chicken and palenta. Juliana loved playing with Natalie.

First Presents

Here is Natalie opening her first presents. I actually had to reenact this because I deleted the first pictures. She loves the ornaments and the paper. Thanks Katie and Kara for the cute Christmas outfit!

Halloween Rewind

Rewind to Halloween. Here are a few pictures from Halloween. Natalie was a beautiful butterfly. She posed with her cousin Julianna who is Tinkerbell. The she went to visit her future husband and best friend Holden who is the monkey and his mom Katie.
