Two weeks ago, Rachel emailed my mom (her aunt and godmother) while Natalie was sleeping (Fridays are just Natalie and Rachel, as Connor’s mom is home with him). What a treat for my mom – for Natalie’s nanny to be emailing her! Since my mom hadn’t seen Natalie for about 4.5 weeks, this helped get a little “fix” in. My mom forwarded it to me too, and I loved hearing about their day and interactions. We’re lucky!
From Rachel:
Hi Auntie Julie/Grandma Julie!
Natalie and I just thought we would send an email to say how much fun we are having today. Natalie has been doing some really cute things. We tried feeding her pureed chicken and vegetables, and it smelled like barf. It was so funny because she just REFUSED to eat them. I tried to be sneaky and give her a few spoonfuls of carrots and fruit and then sneak a spoonful of the chicken vegetable thing in, but she is so smart because she started watching which container I was scooping from and when I scooped a spoonful of the nasty stuff she closed her mouth and turned her head and made a really funny face, like she was eating a lemon. It was so cute!!
It is also really cute how excited she gets about the littlest things. Her whole body shakes and her hands are in fists and she smiles so hard that her cheeks are twice their normal size, and for something as tiny as finding her hands, or if I click my tongue. I also think she is getting very close to crawling because she is turning onto her one leg and reaches for something behind her or to the side, and then I almost think she is going to crawl and then she falls on her tummy. She is getting there though! And she has a little dance that she does out of nowhere…I’m sure you will see it next week 🙂
One more cute thing that I’ll add in is that Connor was sick yesterday so was understandably a bit fussy (we’ve all been there!) When he would sqwack, Natalie gave him the most hilarious looks. She would just be playing with her toys and then look over at Connor with the funniest look like she’s thinking “dude…I’m trying to play. What’s wrong?” Hehe it was so cute. (We feel bad for Connor though and hope he gets better really soon!)
You are going to have a BLAST with her next week 🙂
Love,
Natalie and Rachel
Back to Erin… this pic doesn’t apply to this post, but its cute, so I cannot recent sharing.
My mommy sometimes does this. I'm not sure why. Haha - grown-ups are so silly.
Have a good weekend! Go Badgers! Go Irish! Go Pack!
