Casa Lupe

Natalie pretty much eats whatever we are eating these days. which means alot of Mexican. Our favorite restaurant is a local family place called Casa Lupe. Super family-friendly and we have been going there for years.

Hiking at WIlder Ranch

BabyProofing

We have started baby proofing the house. Natalie is on the verge of crawling. When seated, she can lean over and start to pull herself. She can actually balance pretty well, and can sometimes make it back to a seated position instead of slipping onto her tummy.

We had to move the glass coffee table and end table into the garage. We bought a nice soft cushy rug for the living room and a soft ottoman. A baby gate has gone up around the fireplace anf entertainment center. Too many hazards and cords.

We are ready! Keep it up baby- you are so close!!

You are so good at restaurants. We went to the Club and had a great lunch outside. We had a nice dinner at Pasta Pomodoro. You were better behaved that all of the older kids. And we met everyone at PF Changs for dinner. You were a little fussy, but really only wanted the bottle, and puffs.
