Eight Weeks

What a week we've had!

On Tuesday, Natalie and I enjoyed "Picture Day" at our Mom-and-Baby group. All of the babies are so adorable! Since Natalie is the littlest, she had to sit in the corner so she had extra support sitting up, although she is learning how to hold up her head really well these days.







Then on Saturday, we went to visit our friends the Damrells in Sacramento. We went to a place called Apple Hill, where we got donuts, cider, apple pie, caramel apples... you name it, we bought it. What a way to celebrate fall! We were also really excited to see Jack Damrell for the first time. He's far too wonderful and handsome for words.





And... here is our other big news!


Reese is moving! Well, her humans are moving too... Natalie's wish is being granted and she's getting a backyard of her own. We are moving out near the ocean and couldn't be more excited. We'll have a garage, and a backyard, and Natalie will have a whole room to herself (instead of a glorified closet). Best of all, the house is on a very quiet street, which will help all of the Gibbs family members sleep better. Yay! We move at the end of the month, but have already started packing up everything we can.


In other Natalie news, Tyler and I noticed that she has really been practicing batting at things and trying to grab them this weekend. The look of concentration on her face is so adorable! She gets frustrated after a while, though, and very tired. We can just imagine how hard it must be to learn how to do these things! Tyler and I are conflicted - while we are so excited to see her develop and grow, we know that with each passing day she will be grabbing more and more, and it will be harder and harder to keep her out of things she shouldn't touch. It's a catch-22!
