A Little Culture
We took Natalie to the opening party for Nama’s latest photography show on Friday night. Natalie was in heaven at being admired by all of Nama’s friends! We’ve discovered that she’s quite a party girl & loves to meet new people. Chris and I are both shocked that we (two introverts) managed to give birth to an extrovert. Chris was happy to be taking indoor picture without needing to use the flash—love that gallery lighting! The dress Natalie is wearing is another beautiful hand-me-down from Josie, Mark & Tam. Thanks, guys!

Eeek!! Teething!
It’s been a week since my post about Natalie miraculously going to sleep with the pacifier, and teething has begun in earnest. Sleeping has been totally disrupted. At first, Natalie would only sleep next to me. Then Wednesday night she would only sleep while nursing, and as soon as she relaxed enough to unlatch, she woke up crying. Thursday night was a little better, but she’s still pretty miserable at night. Napping during the day isn’t much better. This morning, she actually had bags under her eyes. And she’s back to completely rejecting the pacifier.
Here she is asleep in her swing. But I obviously shouldn’t have been bold enough to post this, because as I’m typing, she’s waking up after sleeping only 25 minutes. Oy Vey. Maybe I’ll try vacuuming…the house has actually never been cleaner since we found that to help Natalie to sleep. Thanks, Lindsay, for reminding me of that trick!
