Natalie's 2 Month Milestone

I can't believe Natalie is now 9 1/2 weeks old! Her first two months of life have flown, but thankfully they have been intentional. As a family, we have spent quality time bonding with both family and friends. On Easter weekend, the three of us traveled up north to Show Low to celebrate with Grandma and Grandpa McNerney, Uncle and Auntie vonSeggern, and her favorite cousin KK. We enjoyed every moment, especially those shared watching the two girls interact. Kaylee is so attentive to Natalie, and the attention is well received!

Natalie has also enjoyed getting to know her Gong Gong, Popo, and Auntie Jen! Auntie has earned a very fair reputation as Natalie's main photographer. She captures priceless moments shared with the family. Gong Gong and Popo are incredible baby sitters! B.J. and I have ventured out twice this past month, leaving Natalie behind to play with her Grandparents. Although our outings are much enjoyed, we are always eager to return home to our little Dragon girl.

Great Grandma Shipe is currently in town for a visit with Natalie, and we are enjoying this cherished time. Grandma was able to get Natalie to take a pacifier, a feat we assumed impossible. Every other attempt has ended up with a crying baby and a dirtied binky laying on the ground. She must have the magic touch-wisdom gained living to see 11 Great-Grandchildren is to be revered.

I am trying to update this blog more often, but SOMEHOW things don't come quite as easily as they once did! LOL! I am absolutely okay with it though, raising little Miss Natalie is the greatest adventure I have ever been on. B.J. and I are both amazed b

y her rapid growth, and blossoming personality! Her smiles bright up the room, and her coos-the sweetest melody.
