Where does time go...

We've been busy, but it's sad I haven't been keeping a good record of all that is happening. Natalie is now eating rice/oatmeal, sweet potatoes, carrots and peas now. She also has two teeth ready to pop out of her gums any day now, so her sleep pattern has changed a lot in the last week. She is uncomfortable so she wants to be soothed to sleep and she doesn't stay asleep as long as before. But she still sleeps 8-9 hours at night, awesome! I found she LOVES to fall asleep to the vacuum of all things. And it can't be the little dinky cordless ones we have, or the ipod white noise aps. She wants big bass and loud rumblings. we don't have enough juice in our little bookshelf sound systems, so 2-3 times a day, i waste electricity and just let the vacuum run for 10-15 minutes til she's asleep. then i leave the bathroom fan on. whatever works to get her naps in!

Here are a couple photos from the end of May.

Here is an old pic of Thomas when he was about the same age. Their faces have some similarities, but are definitely different!

Natalie again... she's still laying down, but I uprighted it. same smile :)

Thomas has moments he loves being a big brother, and moments where he takes pot shots at her when I'm not looking, or thinks I'm not looking. I can't leave him alone with her... it's too nerve racking thinking of what he could be doing to her!

Thomas is still a Wiggles fan, but not obsessed like a year ago. We're going to the Wiggles concert at HP Pavilion in July. Maybe our last one, unless Natalie gets into it.

As I've mentioned, Thomas fixated on the story of David & Goliath a couple months ago. He can't get enough. He wants to be big and scary like Goliath. But we told him that as big as goliath is, david gets him with a simple rock to the forehead. Just BONK and down goes goliath. Despite that, he still wants to be goliath. ha ha... i guess the sword and shield just make it so much cooler to be goliath. Here with his sword and shield - making his "scary" goliath face, saying in his scariest voice "I am Goliath! Who will fight me??!"

And this is Goliath after he has been bonked on the head with a rock by David...

Cute relaxed pic from after our photo session : )

Also, William turned 40 this year! Which means I am not far behind... yikes!

 

Update: Natalie can finally roll! ok maybe not rolling, but she can do one flip, from her tummy to her back. and yesterday for the first time, she rolled from her back to her side and almost to her tummy. I guess her days sleeping on my bed are numbered...time to train her to sleep in her crib.
