I'm a Big Girl Now

Well this has past week was an interesting one! Tuesday night, Natalee finally started sitting up by herself! She has been able to sit for a while but not pull herself into the sitting position. She is now a pro at it! Thursday night we went to the PeeWee football game at CA to watch Ryan. He is in the 6th grade & this is his 2nd year to play. He never really showed interest in football until last year & he actually loves playing! I am actually very proud of him, because I never thought he would be that into sports! Needless to say, they lost, but they did a great job! When we got home that night, I put Natalee on the floor to play. Terry & I were unloading groceries, we looked up & she was trying to crawl! She has perfected that yet, but she is crawling all over the place! Saturday, she was on the floor playing again. I walked in the kitchen to clean her walker. I wasn't gone but a minute at the most. I walked around the corner & she had pulled herself up on the couch & was walking back & forth! She sure has been progressing alot lately. I'm surprised she did all of that within 4-5 days though. Granny said she never thought Debbie was going to do anything, but she sat up, crawled & walked all within 1 week, so I really shouldn't be that surprised. Oh, she has also started saying "Mamma"!!

Friday night was another home football game for Carroll! We won 32-0!! We went to Jackson Saturday afternoon. We went to Babies 'R Us to get Natalee a new "big girl" carseat. We got the pink & brown Graco My Ride 65. I absolutely love it! So does Natalee. She was starting to look big in her infant carrier, and now she looks little again! She is so cute in it though. When we went to Wal-Mart the other night, we bought Natalee a toothbrush & some "training toothpaste". We have been brushing her 2 teeth and gums with one of those fingertip brushes, but we decided it was time to get her used to a toothbrush and toothpaste. We tried it out Saturday morning & she loved it. She grinned the whole time I was brushing them & didn't mind the toothpaste either! Of course I only used a very small amount.
