It was the dog.

Yesterday Natalie was sporting her "It was the dog" onesie that Uncle Eric and Aunt Cathy bought her for Christmas last year. So it just seemed appropriate to stage a few photos with one of Baxter's gutted (un)stuffed animals. This picture turned out particularly well because of the way she appears to be leering at Baxter. Although it seems amusing now, I suppose it won't be too long before she really will be blaming things on the dog! Thanks to Aunt Rachel for pointing out Natalie's awesome baby muffin top.

Really, it was the dog. I swear!

Get out your autograph books....

...because Natalie is on YouTube! Allen and I purchased a new camcorder and I've been playing around with it a little bit. Enjoy these clips!

Natalie is 10 Weeks Old!

It's hard to believe, but little Natalie will be 10 weeks old tomorrow! She's smiling, cooing, staring at ceiling fans, and doing all the other cute things that little babies do.

I ♥ bath time!

Multitasking at its best: Here is Allen sleeping, holding Natalie, and icing his knees after a 19-mile run.


All smiles in the bouncy seat. Check out that Buddha belly!


Sitting in the Bumbo and waving bye bye until next time!

We're baaaaack!

Well, hello there! Several months ago I had imagined myself diligently blogging about baby showers, preparing the nursery, Natalie's birth, and her first few months, but it turns out that (*gasp!*) life with a newborn doesn't leave you much free time! So, I suppose it's better late than never to hit the keyboard and get started. Maybe one day I'll post a bunch of stuff from the last few months, but don't hold your breath. Here's to looking forward!!!
