It's Natalie's first holiday and I, of course, got her an adorable outfit to celebrate it. She has been super smiley all day and just a joy, as always! We decided not to go to the fireworks because she's still so young and we're not sure if she'd do well with the noises. We'll take her next year though -- Wake Forest also has a children's parade and art festival for the 4th which we plan to check out next year.
Yesterday, while I was reading her a few books, she added her own take on the stories with endless amounts of cooing -- it was wonderful! Although she's been cooing for a few weeks now, this was the first that she did it as if she was telling you a story. I loved it!
Natalie's 1 month appointment was this last Tuesday. Dr. Hewett said she's doing great and given her weight gain (she's up to 9 lb. 3 oz already!), we don't have to wake to feed her every 2-3 hrs anymore. We can let her sleep as long as he'd like! YAY! Of course, that night she decided to start a growth spurt or something, and was awake every 1.5-2 hours to eat. This continued throughout the morning -- it was a long 24 hrs for me! But she's back to her normal schedule now and is getting about 1 four hour stretch of sleep in each night (usually early evening though, 9 p.m. - 1 a.m). Dr. Hewett confirmed a number of things I had questions on and had looked up in books (I do a lot of reading on what to expect, etc.). Natalie also got her 2nd Hepatitis B shot :(. She, of course, screamed which was heartbreaking! She calmed down quickly after I picked her up and cuddled with her -- it's such a great feeling to be able to soothe her!

I love that N is such a little chub-a-wub. E was always so scrawny,except for her cheeks which you could see from space. I think she wasn't 9 pounds until she was 1.5 months old...and she was born 8 lbs 1oz
Love the dress, by the way
