7 mo. old, Christmas and Teeth

Natalie is 7 months old today! She now weighs 17 lbs. 4 oz. (she was at the pediatrician's yesterday to check out her ears). And she has 2 teeth and 2 more on their way. I'm surprised I didn't mention it in the last post because her first two teeth (bottom front teeth) broke through on December 13. Now, the next two (top front) are starting to make their way out -- they haven't broke through yet but hopefully will soon and Natalie will get back to sleep well again! It's exciting to see her little teeth and her new smile but I have to admit I miss her gummy grin :)

We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Both sides of our families came to North Carolina for Natalie's first Christmas. We had guests for 10 days. My parents, sister and nephew came out on the Sunday before Christmas. Emile's parents arrived on Tuesday night. Due to snow in Chicago, my brother didn't arrive until very early on Christmas Eve morning. It was great having both our families here! I loved having a big family get together for the holidays. Natalie loved seeing everyone. She's not used to having a lot of people around and so it took a little while for her to get used to everyone. She took to my brother though right away without crying at all. It was the first time my brother had met her and been to our house. The last of our guests (Emile's parents) left this evening.
