Natalie's Blessing

This past Sunday (which happened to be my birthday :) Natalie was blessed. She looked adorable in the dress that Grandma Gretchen made for her and was nice enough to hold back her screaming until the blessing was over and we took a few pictures. Our family portrait below didn't turn out very well - but anyway, it was a great day and we were lucky to have our family close to witness and participate in the ordinance.

Mommy's Helper

So after I finished feeding and changing Natalie today I remembered a phone call I had to make so I walked out of the room to get my phone. When I came back into the room Dominic had gotten a hold of the bottle and was feeding "his baby." If only I could put Dominic in charge of a few feedings :) It is actually very cute how much Dominic loves his sister. He is very protective and always wants to help take care of her - even if he ends up doing more harm than good.

Halloween

Dominic and Natalie looked absolutely adorable dressed as a bear and a lady bug. Unfortunately I am terrible at taking pictures so Natalie looks angry and Dominic is out of focus or only half in the picture while he tries to grab the camera from my hands :) - The best part about Dominic's costume was how he waddled around with the extra fabric around his bum. I think I'll have to put him back in the outfit so I can video tape him walking. It was seriously cute!

Watch out - he's coming for the camera!
