Five Months

Natalie is five months old.  Already.  We're thinking she's in the beginning stages of teething because she's drooling non stop, and loves to chew on her fingers.  Most of that beautiful dark hair she was born with has fallen out and has been replaced with fuzz.  It's starting to come back in, though, and we still think it will be dark.

As you can see she adores her brother.  The photos don't capture how she lights up when he talks to her.  She loves Kendall, too, who is very sweet with her most of the time.  Kendall loves to give her hugs and kisses.  Other times she likes to lie on top of Natalie.  Not so cute.  The minute I think we've made some progress getting her to be "G E N T L E" she does something ridiculous like that.  I know they will be best buds one day.

Keeping tabs on brother Ryan.

Natalie is rolling from back to tummy, and gets so mad when she's been on her tummy longer than 2 minutes.  She loves to lie on her back and grab her toes.  Her sleeping habits have gotten worse.  She's up at least two times a night.  Those nights of uninterrupted sleep seem like a dream now.  She still likes to be held most of the day, but is entertained by her exersaucer, swing and bouncy chair for short periods.  She likes to sit in the high chair while the big kids are eating so she can join in on the fun.  She's also started singing back to me when I'm rocking and singing to her.  She answers back in her sweet little voice.  S sweet.  She also started grabbing and holding on to toys.  She loves to chew on these as well.  Ryan loves that she is "Playing" now. 

And she's down.
