Sisters

A quick blog to tell you how fun it is to watch 2 sisters lounging on the couch while the older one is watching cartoons. Natalie is getting her satisfaction of holding her little sister while enjoying one of her other favorite things to do - watching t.v.

Also wanted to let people know that baby monitors work great at not only letting you hear the baby in her room, but also the older sister who is singing while playing outside in the backyard.

Big sister

We have a new addition in our household. Natalie welcomed home her baby sister on Monday of this week. Natalie has been extremely helpful with her...wanting to help make bottles, take out dirty diapers, change diapers, reading to her, praying with her...cute stuff.

One thing she doesn't really like is the crying at bedtime. On Tuesday night Jocelyn was crying quite a bit around Natalie's bedtime. Natalie tried to go to sleep but we knew she wouldn't be in there for long. After a few complaints voiced from her bedroom she marched into the living room....Lynn was sitting there, I was in the kitchen. Lynn asked her what the problem was....Natalie promptly replied with "I'm going to go ask Daddy for some earplugs"

Too funny. I did setup a fan in her room so she could have some white noise which seemed to help.

I may be making changes to this blog to set it up for both daughters...I'll be pondering my creative changes. In the meantime, here's a picture of my two girlys.....I am in such deep trouble when they grow up...:D

Summer Days

Natalie has had a fun summer so far. She's had a lot of days spent playing with friends and family. At night, she looks forward to what Daddy has planned for the two of them to do. They enjoy riding the bike with the tag-a-long down to the local custard shop. Yesterday, we opted to stay close to home (and the hospital), so Nate and Natalie packed a picnic lunch and then played at the park.

It was wonderful that our friends took Natalie to the parade and fireworks in town. She was really looking forward to doing these things. The multitude of stories she came home with were great!
