See How She Grows

I didn't do this with the other kids, but I've gotten smart in my old age.  Anyway, I've taken pictures of Natalie on her monthly birthdays (or close to it if I forget :))

Here she is:
One Month Old

One Month Old.  I love her concerned look on her face.  She's the same size as Eli's doll!  (Yes, I said Eli- it was Morgan's but she gave it to Eli and few years ago- he really is sweet with the doll)

Two Months Old:

 See how she's grown? 

 Sam couldn't be left out.

I was shocked to hear at the doctor's office that she was 75% for weight (this is what I'm remembering and I'm not taking the time to find the paper that says it.  If I'm wrong, I'll change it later.) and 90% for height.  Folks, this is amazing for my family.  Not one of my kids has been over 50% for anything and that was Morgan and she went down to 25% when she turned a year.  The boys are lucky if they're higher than the 10th percentile.

Three Months Old:

I can't keep up with this growing girl!  I finally cleaned out the dresser of 0-3 month clothes (just so you know- all my other children (and there are 4 of them) wore the clothes at the appropriate age and a little into the next stage- example- they were in 0-3 month clothes until they were about3 or 4 months old- so I was a little taken back when Nat's 0-3 month clothes stopped fitting at about 2 months.) and put in the 3-6 month clothes.  Well, it took me so long to do that that she couldn't really fit into the 3-6 month clothes either!  I pulled out this outfit marked 6 months and it fit.  I thought it must be mismarked.  Then she fit into another 6 months outfit.  I couldn't believe it!  So, because I'm so smart, I got all the clothes out until 12 months.  Hopefully I can keep up with her now!

Four Months Old:

 Yes, those are Sam's hands and feet in the side of the picture.  He really doesn't like being left out.

Before you think that she always has a headband on, I have to admit that I just put it on for pictures

and for church.  Nate doesn't like it because it leaves a mark on her head.  I say, beauty hurts sometimes!

 

I know you will eagerly await her next month's photos.  Don't hold your breath, though.  It could be a while before I post again :)
