Extended Family

The ladies of our extended family, the Conleys and Kolstads. Amanda, Meredith, Cynthia, Lori, Natalie, Joan, Laura, Kaela, Kristin, Peyton (Lisa is MIA.)
We have known them as long as I can remember and became our family in California when my parents moved here. Now Kristin has two girls (3 years and 7 months), and we have one as well.

Love you all!

Two Months

Hi Natalie,

Wow, you are two months old. Today is also Daddy's birthday. You had your first overnight with Nana and Poppy so that Daddy and I could go on a date. You did great- and took a swim in the tub with Nana. Keep it up- they loved having you.

You are getting huge and hard to carry. Your neck strength and control is getting better every day. We put you in the frontpack facing out, but then we couldn't see you so we'll keep you facing in and close to us for awhile. Daddy can't wait to use his backpack to take you on adventures.

You are starting to get on a schedule of going to sleep at 9pm, waking between 3 and 4and then sleeping until 7. Not bad. Naps aren't quite scheduled yet though. The funniest thing that had happened is that you are very vocal regarding your pacifier and bottle. You have a way of shoving them both out with your tongue if you are not interested. Thanks for that. Otherwise, we would have no idea.

Keep the cuteness coming.

Love, Daddy and Mommy

Christmas at the Fairmont


Natalie and I went to see the Christmas Decorations at the Fairmont Hotel. They had a gingerbread house, and Santa's workshop. It was cold at the North Pole so she had on her fleece cap.

8 week checkup


Natalie is now 12 lbs, 4 oz and 24 inches. This puts her at 90% for weight and 95% for height. Dr. Laura said she is perfect!

This one is for the record books: she started smiling and giggling on Dec. 12th. What fun! We will try and get some good video to share.
