A lot can happen in six weeks...








I can't believe six weeks have come and gone so fast. And what a six weeks it's been - Natalie has done everything from travel 5000 kms to learn how to hold a toy (with a whole bunch more in between). Here are some highlights.

First off, on October 1st, our little monkey munch celebrated her third month of chillin on planet earth. If the smiles and goos are any indication she seems to like life.


Before her third month was finished Natalie and I travelled to Cape Breton for a little over two weeks to visit with family. She was a great little traveller and we had no problems at all. The trip was jam packed with walks at the beach and wildlife park, a super sweet baby shower and visits with tons of family and new friends.



In Cape Breton Miss Natalie hit a fun milestone - babbling. Our little babe started gabbing at us in September and hasn't stopped since. She really gets going when we mimic her sounds or talk with her. And the smiles are endless if we stick our toungues out at her, make piggy snorts or whistle. Back east Nanny Prince also helped her learn how to pull herself up from lying down to a sitting position - which she loves to do now.



In the past few weeks Natalie has also started to grab and hold toys (she loves her grab apple - thanks Liza and Nicole for introducing us to that fun toy), sit in her Bumbo chair and suck her hands. Man does she love to suck those hands - the smacking noises are hilarious (and loud).



Yesterday Natalie had her first set of shots and while she wasn't happy about it, she did very well - we're all happy it's over and done with.



So at the three-month mark life with our little Natalie Bean is going great - we're in love with her and we're pretty sure the feeling is mutual :) Here are some three-month Natalie stats to close off this post.



At three months Natalie:



Weighs 14.5 lbs and is a little over 61 cms long



Is still a baldy :)



Loves to play and sing with her Dad (she loves when he says ma, ma, ma or da, da, da)



Has discovered TV -I caught her actually watching Treehouse one day (usually I turn it on for background music and sound) but this day she actually watched and smiled at the characters.
