Fourteen Weeks + Thanksgiving

A few pictures from Thanskgiving. We were *crazy* and drove to Seattle. Driving North, we broke up the drive over two days - thank goodness we came to our senses and did it all in one day coming home. It was much more manageable for us (meaning manageable for JULIE, who has a hard time sitting still for two days). We were amazed that Natalie was surprisingly genial for most of the time in the car, and didn't develop a hatred for her car seat!

Week fourteen brought on quite a bit of noise. Natalie has discovered her voice in a BIIIIG way, and now she loves to make herself heard. It doesn't always work for her though - we know the difference between her real cries and her fake ones! Reese has yet to figure out the difference, though. Today Natalie was practicing holding her head up while lying on her tummy (which she hates). She was screaming so loud that Reese deigned to get off the couch to check that she was ok! Reese kept looking at me, then sniffing Natalie, then looking at me again. I can't decide if she was thinking "why doesn't the tall one make the short one shut up?" or "is the short one ok, tall one??"
