Gaining Weight and Up a Shoe Size!

We had a good visit to the pediatrician today. Well, good news for us......Natalie would probably not agree since she had to have more blood drawn and also received two more immunizations..
The good news is that she now weighs over 22 pounds and is finally in the 10th percentile! YEAH! The pediatrician was amazed at her progress just since the last visit which was a month ago. In addition to her weight gain, her communication both verbally and through sign language is increasing. Her new words are: Deacon (my best friend's dog), doggie, woof woof, and ow. She is also showing great signs of attachment to both Steve and I. In fact, just recently Natalie has been reaching for kisses from us at bedtime instead of just receiving them whether she wanted them or not.

We continue to be amazed at how social Natalie is. She loves playing with other children and the highlight of her Sunday is going into the nursery at our church. Her personality and facial expressions are delightful and keeps us laughing. I believe she may become an actress one day. Other things she loves to do include: being in her swing, bathtime, pooltime, running up and down the halls of the church office area, being tickled and chased by Daddy, singing and playing piano with Mommy, Little Einsteins dvds, brushing her teeth, having her hair blow dried and trying on shoes....anyone's shoes..(by the way she's wearing size 5 now).

Everyday we are blessed by this precious little girl. How she loves life! How we love sharing each day together through her eyes.
Love to you,
Karen

p.s. We are having her Dedication Service at our church on October 5th. We would be honored if you shared this day with us.
