Natalie in her "Big Girl" car seat!

Natalie has moved to forward facing a week early because of Jack getting a new booster car seat. She loves to face forward and see Mom and Dad! She still loves to laugh and giggle at Jack the entire car ride. These pictures are from her first car ride facing forward. :)

Jack's 1st Day of Preschool

Jack found his mailbox and already has mail!

Jack started school on Monday. He is attending a new preschool this year. He was a little sad and cried a little after we left on his first day. But his teacher said it only lasted a minute and he had a great first day. It will take a few days to adjust and he is doing great. Tonight he was singing songs he has learned at school and in his book bag tonight there was a "scrapbook" that he has made called "All About Me". It even had a picture of him on his first day of school!

We are looking forward to an exciting and fun school year!

Natalie is getting so big!

Natalie will be 11 months on August 5th!
Time has gone by so fast! No fair! Her
1st birthday is just around the corner!


I snapped these pictures when we returned
home from celebrating Dad's birthday over
lunch. Natalie was in a happy mood considering
she missed her afternoon nap!

P.S. Sorry about the spaces in between photos.
I can't get them deleted!

Natalie Crawling!

On July 16th Natalie finally started crawling!

She crawls all over the place and follows us everywhere. Jack and Natalie have crawling races down the hallway. It's so cute! They are both giggling and laughing the entire time. We've gotten some great video of the two of them. As you can see by the picture, we have to "gate" Natalie in the living room so she doesn't get into trouble. She doesn't like it at all. She wants to be free to explore! Occasionally we do let her out of jail. :)
