Natalie Pictures

Of course - here's some recent pictures of Natalie. She is growing just so fast, and developing even faster. I'm amazed at the things she does and understands now.

Here she is playing in her exersaucer. At first, she wasn't too sure of it - but now we can get a good 15-20 minutes of her playing by herself.

I left Natalie on the couch for a "second", propped up in the corner. When I came back, not even a minute later, here she was ... Luckily, she hadn't rolled at this point yet - but, now no more unsupervised sitting on the couch, now that she's rolling...

Isn't she lovely?!!! I love this outfit on her. It makes her eyes POP.

For the past couple of months, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I meet my friend Debbie at the park. She takes Natalie for a walk around the lake, and I do my running... Here's a picture of her one morning... she LOVES her walks. We will miss Grammy Debbie... she's at camp this week, and then with my family in town, and us going out of town, we won't be able to walk with her till August. however... I MUST keep up my running- I guess I'll just push her in the jogger myself.

(ps. I am signed up to run in a 5K at the end of September. So, far I'm on week 6 of my training program. I'm really excited about this. I've NEVER been a runner, so this is a big deal for me. I know a 5K isn't much, but for a non-runner, it's HUGE. My good friend Becky will be coming to run with me. I'm so excited. I started this program before I got pregnant - but then couldn't finish it, with the pregnancy and all. This time around, it's been MUCH harder.. I guess that's what surgery and pregnancy will do to you.)

Here's Natalie on the swing for the first time. She doesn't seem thrilled, but she also didn't hate it :)
