Natalie and I baked brownies when dad was in Vegas visiting his friend Tim.
Yum! Why haven’t you given me this before, mom?

I have a fun family! Gavin is super cute though not into playing yet Aunt Linda made me terrific guacamole too. Yum !!!
Natalie took me to the Lincoln Park Conservatory today. A great escape from winter. It’s the first time I was actually warm since the snow came. Happy MLK Day!

This is fun and yummy! I needed the extra calories after
I learned how to climb a few stairs by myself today.
Natalie is becoming so mobile. She is a super fast crawler. She is great at pulling herself up and sitting down. She also stood up for 15 seconds! We are super busy here, so I cannot type much but I couldn’t resist these cute pictures!
Happy New Year, Everyone! 2012 is off to a great start, but we still have a lot of good pics from 2011 that we haven’t shared. Here’s a photo gallery from our Christmas in Green Bay. Highlights included:
– Meeting our new cousin Trevor, who was born on Dec. 6. Natalie was very sweet with him. She would just gently touch him with her finger and wanted to help Aunt Becky rock Trevor in his swing. She also tested out many of his toys.
– Visiting the Neville Public Museum with Grandma, Grandpa and Great Grandma Jean. We saw an old exhibit of motorized dolls that my dad remembers from growing up. Natalie really liked them. She was not a big fan of the mastodon – which I’ve always found scary too.
– Spending quality time with both sides of the family, although we didn’t see my mom’s side as much because almost everyone went out to tailgate for the Packers!
To Jordan’s and Rob’s delight, Santa opened up a brewery in the North Pole too.
Merry Christmas 2011!
Natalie loves my cell phone. She also loved the old school toy phone that my mom bought for her house (the one with the round dial and the eyes that go up and down when you move it). Even better, she liked talking on the real land line at my parents’ house – she and Grandma “called” Nana, Pop, Aunt Ann, Mammaw, Molly, Taylor, Connor and many other friends and family.
