New Bed, Princess Time, and 21 Weeks!

Last week after Mom's doctor appointment I got my new big girl's bed delivered. I have a pretty new twin bed, nightstand, and dresser!

Mom and Dad had to put a bunkee board under the top mattress and store the boxspring, or I was going to need a ladder to get in!

Posing awake....

...and asleep! I really like the new bed. The only downside has been that I have been getting up REALLY early a lot lately. I still got to bed at 8:30 and want to get up and play at 6 (or sometimes even earlier.) Mom and Dad don't seem to appreciate my new early bird hours!

Last week I got a Valentine's Day present from Grandpa and Grandma Hiatt. My favorite part was the grandma and grandpa dolls that go in my dollhouse!

This past weekend I wanted to play princess. Here I was in the whole getup!

I had a hot chocolate party with Mom. I am more about the marshmallows than the hot chocolate :)

Yesterday was 21 weeks for Mom and baby...

Here's my pose! I like seeing Mom's tummy getting bigger and watching the baby move!!

Baby Skosh Pics!

Today was the big 20 week show! I went with Mom and Dad to the doctor's this morning and got to see all sorts of pictures. Here's the highlights...

Profile and some hands in the mix.

Bent like a pretzel! I guess Mom and Dad have a picture of me just like this :)

Waving at the family...

The finale......feet!

My Day with Lindsey

Yeah to the Roberts! They closed on their house this past Thursday and are prepping for the big move. I got to have Lindsey come and visit for the day. Here is a photo essay of the happenings....

We started the day with some princess coloring.

We were both very studious....

Then we launched into the cooking portion of the morning. I let Lindsey borrow an apron, even if it was a little big.
Lunch time was a success. Mom made very good peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (which I had ALL over my face) and some raviolis.

The Barbie jeep is still a hot commodity. Lindsey drove me all around Toledo !

After nap time we made a tunnel and tent. We had our snack back in there and did lots of playing.

Plenty of blankets to make it cozy!

As always, the doll house was a big hit.

Mom frosted the cake for us, but then we got to add the sprinkles.

On to chicken bake dinner! We both were hungry and really looked forward to cake for dessert!
Things got crazy after dinner.....we may have been a little messy so we stripped down and headed upstairs for a bath. Lindsey loved wearing the swim goggles and poured lots of water on me (which I loved!).
We snuggled on the couch for a bit before it was time for Lindsey to go. I really liked having her visit, can't wait to see her again soon!!

Snow Day!

The last day brought some snow! It's also still very cold out.....

Here I am with Daddy, all bundled up. It's about 17 degrees out plus some wind!
Daddy was shoveling and I wanted to shovel too. Turns out that beach toys make good snow toys too!

I felt bad for Obi....so we found a way for him to come out and play too!

Work between the play ;)

Since the ground is frozen, we decided to play out in the backyard too.

I wasn't too excited about my sled. Mom gave it a run down our small hill. I laughed at her a lot! I did like trying to make a snow angel though. Hope you liked my snow day!!

17 Weeks!

Here's 17 weeks with me (Nat)............And 17 weeks now!

Looks like Mommy's carrying the same :)

Snow, Please??!?!

I'm ready for the white stuff!

Took a ride on my bike today in my snow boots. They haven't got much action yet. And these great snow pants are fun in the house! My poor sled hasn't gotten any use yet......I'M READY FOR SNOW!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! It was a wonderful day....here are a few pics from my activities!

The tree was stocked! I had presents from Santa that were delivered in a sleigh...

I got up a little bit before 7 this morning. I was excited to run downstairs and check on the cookies I had left for Santa. It looked like the reindeer liked my carrot too!
I had presents to open from Aunt Coco and Chase too! I got a great book and board game and more!

Coco also sent me a Rapunzel set, complete with crown, purse and necklace!

Santa also brought me a Rapunzel doll and dress.

Here I am enjoying my new doll.....in a sled! Too bad there is no snow yet :)

Some of the aftermath!

Look at my new snow boots! !

Dress modeling, note the classy PJ pants and snow boots.

More dress modeling...

Rapunzel has a beautiful crown.

I made a great present for Dad!

I was waiting at the airport for Grandpa and Grandma tonight! I talked Grandma's ear off the whole ride home. I can't wait for it to be Christmas again tomorrow!!

Merry Christmas (Eve)!!

Well, it's been a busy month....as December tends to be! I've had a great time seeing friends and family and spending lots of time with Mom and Dad. I really love baking cookies for my friends and myself! I LOVE to lick the spoon :)

Last weekend I got to get all dressed up for the Roberts Christmas party. I really liked my fuzzy dress and fancy shoes.

Yeah, a good family picture! Thanks Kevin!

There were a lot of friends at the party. Chelsea is 3 months old already and did really well hanging out all night.

Here's the gang of younger kids.....Matthew, Lindsey, myself and Madeline!

The kids were fueled by snack foods! Lindsey and I were loving cake pops made by Lori. Of course, Lindsey was all silly faces!
The next day, on Sunday, we met the Roberts for some zoo lights. You'll have to trust me, it was beautiful even if I don't have the pics to prove it! I was all bundled up in my big coat, gloves, and fuzzy blanket as Mom and Dad strollered me around. I really liked the big blue tree and the singing lights.

Today is Christmas Eve and the family got all dressed up to go to church.

Me with Dad and Obi. The Christmas service invited the kids up to the front for the Christmas story. I really enjoyed the angels and singing happy birthday to Jesus. I made it through the entire Mass, only some minor fidgeting!
I also got to stop by the Lourdes campus today and see the creche. We didn't stay long to look at it, too cold!
I got a plate of cookies and milk for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer. I can't wait for him to come!
Mom and Dad let me open my stocking tonight. It will hold me over until Christmas presents in the morning!!!

M&Ms!

A Clifford animal....then it was time for a bedtime story and sleep! Santa will be here in no time!!!
