No more nemesis

Yesterday was Natalie’s 4 month check up. We recently switched doctor’s offices, for reasons I will not go into here because it makes me too angry (basically I hate the other office). This visit was an amazing improvement from her 2 month appointment at the office of my nemesis’ (or whatever the plural for nemesis is because I basically hated everyone there, except the woman who was supposed to be our actual doctor and we never got to see). She received an oral vaccination for the rotavirus and two shots. She basically behaved herself and we made it through the appointment with only one of us crying this time. Basically she is perfectly healthy, she’s just tall and skinny (nothing wrong with that). We discussed introducing solids in the next few months (well, not really solids more mush) and maybe even teeth! Oh my little baby is growing so fast!

Stats:
Weight: 12 lbs 9 oz (25th percentile)
Height: 24 ¾ inches (75th percentile)
Head: 16 inches (50th percentile)

Dress Up

Phil's co-worker gave us two big tubs of clothes, so this weekend we had to play dress up and try out some of the clothes. We also recently got a bumbo chair that my mom & sister got for Natalie at a garage sale. She really likes it, although she did better sitting next to it, than in it!

Even Tula got to dress up.

JT, not just for NSync anymore

As if we all needed another reason to love JT. Well in case you did, here you go!

Amsterburg Family Reunion 09

Last weekend was the annual Amsterburg family reunion at Phil's dad's house. There was a lot of BBQ chicken, brats and the highlight (what we've all been waiting for) Rob's sweet corn! It was all delicious.

Unfortunately there were some serious thunderstorms that afternoon, which eventually cleared up and brought some hot, muggy weather. The rain didn't hold us back, we still partied like it was the summer of 2009!

Little Robbie (can you believe he's almost 3?)

Baby Ryker

A few weeks ago (before I was back at work), my friend Shell brought her new baby down to visit for the morning. He is just over 5 months old now and he just dwarfs Natalie. He has the cutest chunky thighs, some serious blonde hair and a smile that has all the ladies swooning.

Natalie was playing hard to get, but she really liked him! Here they are together.

Nothing like a quick game of footsie before nap time!
