cold cold monday

Its really cold outside. Its the kind of cold windy weather that makes one wan to cuddle up inside with a warm cuppa something and read a book. Natalie is sleeping and I am taking this precious time to update the blog. Just to note the post from last monday was made by Chirs and I have already expressed my displesure with his "sour milk" comment. Now onto business...I have some more pictures to share the last one was taken only a few minutes ago so its as current as you can get. Natalie has grown out of many sleepers and she is getting really heavy, so heavy in fact that my wrist is sore form the repeated motion of supporting her head. I really hope that she gets full neck control soon. She is smiling a lot more these days and like to coo at you when you sing to her. She is completly fascinated with the Christmas tree and anything else that is lighted up. Grandma Whelan has a Santa Claus that dances and sings "jingle bells" and this was the most amazing thing in the world to her, she was staring at is with her mouth open for about five minutes smiling and drooling.
There is also a picture of Chris holding her in what we refer to as the puppy hold (because she bears a strong resemblence to a four-legged puppy). In this particular photo it looks like she is trying to knaw Chris's arm off, in reality she was just drooling all over him. well it sounds liek the badger is stiring and its daddys turn to change the diaper. So take care all and stay warm!
