Four Months

A lot has happened since my last post. Natalie has grown up so much! She smiles all the time and finds humour in the strangest things! Her little hands grab all sorts of things and go immediately for the mouth. She hasn't quite figured out how to roll over onto her stomach but she is a very strong, solid baby and I have no doubt that she could do it, she just doesn't want to! The other day she was standing and as I was supporting her she took some steps. I couldn't believe it so I tried again and sure enough she kept walking. Once she gets the balance thing figured out, look out here comes trouble! When we get her up from either night or nap, the first stop is the hallway mirror. She loves to see herself and always gets so excited and giggles. It really does brighten up my day! Here are a few pictures of her. I couldn't decide which ones to eliminate so there are quite a few here!

On March 18 and 19 Dylan was a delegate for the Alberta Mennonite Brethren Conference in Edmonton. This was also the perfect opportunity to get away from home and have some family time! We left on Thursday the 17 and came home on Sunday the 20. On Friday Natalie and I spent the day at the West Edmonton Mall and met some of my family there. It was an excellent day and we had a lot of fun. On Saturday we got to take Natalie swimming for the first time in our hotel pool. At first she wasn't to sure if she liked it or not but once she got used to it she was ok. We had a king size bed in our room and as I was getting ready one morning I propped her up on the bed. She looks so tiny!
