Miss Natalee

I don't even know where to start with my posting. I think, since it is getting late tonight and I still want to run through the shower, that I'll just share some pictures with you and call it a night. I have lots I want to say, but we'll save all that for another day. I'll try not to upload pictures that Andrea has already shown you...not like I don't have plenty of new ones to share!

Enjoy the pictures...we are sure enjoying our girl!
Natalee Cynthia
December 9, 2008
8 pounds 12 1/2 ounces
20 1/2 inches long
3:24 a.m.

She really wants to suck her fingers and thumbs. She's figured out how to roll her hand around in her swaddle and get her little mitten off so she can get her fingers in her mouth (or so we think--could be coincidence but just let us believe she's the smartest baby ever, okay?)!
No way, girlfriend...no thumb sucking allowed!

She's talking to her daddy...Aunt Lauren fixed her up with the headband.
Daddy is nicer when he takes pictures because he doesn't use the flash and mommy does (but mommy's pictures are better!).

Daddy has a new hobby...watching Miss Natalee sleep!
He thought he wanted a boy, but I think he has decided his baby girl is quite the keeper!

See?...Daddy's all wrapped up already!

and last, but not least...Grandma Cindy went shopping tonight and found some of the cutest clothes! YAY!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's pictures...pictures of Natalee with her grandma's and grandpa's! We're so glad Grandma Sara was feeling better today and got to hold Natalee for the first time! Natalee had to wait a long time to really meet her! She has four very proud grandparents that all think she's pretty special, not to mention the aunties and cousins......lots more pics to come!
