They call me Barney!
Mom had to use gentian violet to treat thrush I’ve had in my mouth. Since I’m such a wiggler, I got it all over my cheeks so Mom and Dad are alternating between calling me Barney and Bozo the clown.
Mom says: This picture was taken on Sunday, since then the purple has faded considerably. She won’t match the color of the walls in her room forever…
Cousin David Michael
Right now I’m bigger than David, but it looks like very soon he’ll be bigger than me. I’ll always be 7 and a 1/2 weeks older than him, though!
8 Weeks Old!
Can you believe how time flies? 8 weeks has past since I was born!
Mom & Dad say: Natalie is a joy and every time we look at her sweet face we feel lucky, proud, and happy. It’s amazing how big she’s gotten—she’s smiling a lot and vocalizing and cooing. With the exception of when she sleeps, Natalie seems to wiggle all the time—a friend at Amy’s work said Natalie was “quite a mosh-pitter,” and Uncle David has called her “bonk” from day one because of the way she would bob her head when being burped. When Nama (formerly known as “Grandma Martha”) holds her, she often asks Natalie where she’s going. Chris has gone from calling her “sweet pea” to “chick pea” on account of her cute chubby face and hair the color of chick peas. Natalie thinks it’s quite funny and laughs when Chris holds her and says “garbanzoooooooooh!” Amy recently discovered that Natalie likes to be read to, especially short books with lots of rhyming words. Thanks to all who’ve been so supportive and loving to all three of us as we’ve adjusted to family life and life as parents.
