Natalie - 20 weeks

Natalie is almost five months old now. She is able to push herself up pretty well and enjoys reaching for toys and trying to put them into her mouth. She has started to eat both rice and oatmeal cereal, her favorite being the oatmeal. She babbles all the time and finds her brother and sister to be most entertaining.


Natalie is starting to enjoy the Exersaucer and all of the entertaining toys available to her. We even bring it outside on nice days so she can enjoy the warm weather.


Natalie practices pushing herself up. She has not rolled over yet, but has come very close!

Memorial Day Weekend

We all had a great Memorial Day this year! We started our day in Berlin watching the local parade. Aaron loved seeing the fire trucks and Helena loved hearing the bands play all of the patriotic music. The best part for all of the kids was the obscene amount of candy thrown out to the observers. Aaron and Helena loved running out to pick it up! Later, we went to Stacie's parents house where we enjoyed the first pool experience of the summer! Aaron and Helena were in and out of the water all day! Natalie even tried, although she wasn't a big fan!

Helena's loves for the day: watermelon and goggles. She wore the goggles all day because she didn't want anyone else to wear them!



Aaron had to be coaxed out of the water from time to time. While it was a warm and humid day, his lips would start to tremble uncontrollably. He just loved swimming in the pool!

Natalie was all smiles as she visited with everyone. She really enjoys pushing up to stand and can hold herself up pretty well.
