We have been busy, busy, busy!!

My brother Tyler got stationed here in San Diego, so last weekend him and my dad drove out here. This was Natalie's first time meeting her Uncle Tyler. Natalie is getting to be old enough that she knows when someone isn't familiar, and we learned this when her and Uncle Tyler were meeting... She gave him a look like "I don't know you", then proceeded to cry. But by the end of the weekend they were friends!!

Then on Tuesday Natalie had her check up and shots. She is 13.7 lbs and 24 1/4". Big baby!!!! She is in the 90th percentile for her weight and length. She didn't enjoy the shots, and neither did mommy!! We both were full of tears! She cried and it just broke my heart!! But, after she calmed down she slept and slept and slept. When she finally woke up she was fussy (not surprising), so I put her in the carrier and walked her around the house. She seemed to enjoy this, and fell asleep. The doctor gave us Tylenol, but we never had to use it.

On Wednesday I had a dentist appointment, and lets just say I need to take a lot better care of my teeth! We will be teaching Natalie all about having healthy teeth as soon as we can, we want her to have good, healthy habits!

On Thursday I had a doctor's appointment for my foot. It's feeling a lot better, but its still not healed. I broke it 2 months ago, and took my time getting to the doctor. They took x-rays and I was told it was fractured. Then I was sent to a specialist, he said it was actually broken, but since I took so long to see a doctor and it was already healing, he was not going to put a cast on... which I was just fine with!

On Friday my parents came to visit us, well, mostly Natalie :) On Saturday Charlie had to work but we met him at Seaport Village for lunch. Grandma bought Natalie a toy while we were looking at the shops, its cow that has a rattle and teether attached. Its black, white, and green. Natalie seems to love it! On Friday and Saturday night Grandma Carla watched Natalie ALL night so mommy could get a full nights sleep!!! That was very much appreciated... and always is!!!!

We are still holding her while she sleeps most of the time, and we know that has to change. Starting tomorrow night, she will be sleeping in her crib. We have said this before, but we need to do this now, otherwise it is just going to get harder! Wish us luck!!
