Dressing up is so much fun, and so is meeting new friends!

While Natalie sleeps (going on 10 hours now), I thought I'd give y'all some more cute photos. As I had feared, having a girl means not being able to resist buying all the adorable little outfits I see. Some days are easier than others, but I'd probably be better off staying far far away from Target, Baby Gap and any store that sells little Gator outfits. It's amazing I've resisted buying a Gator cheerleading uniform, but that's only because most of them are too big for her to wear this season. Anyway, here are a few photos of Natalie looking cute in her clothes. Special thanks to Avi and Kayla for all the great outfits they gave us, including the plaid romper and Hawaiian shirt. Hopefully she'll be able to wear these things more than once! Oh, and also included is a shot of Natalie enjoying her new favorite pastime, chewing on her left hand. Doesn't get any better than that!
I've also included a shot of Natalie at Mom and Baby yoga class. The class is a little sappy and I find myself cringing at times, but I guess motherhood means you have to embrace the sappiness and forget about feeling silly. In other words, I'll give it one more shot to see if I can get into it. If not, we'll just stick with the YMCA, where we go four-five days a week. Natalie hangs out in the nursery while I work out. So far so good - no one has had to come and get me out of a workout yet (knock on wood). The nursery staff all know Natalie now and seem happy to see her when I drop her off each morning.
Finally, we have some photos from a dinner party at Christine's held in honor of my friend Julia, who is moving to Pennsylvania later this month (sad!). Christine's daughter Cate has been eager to meet Natalie and often tells Christine when they are out shopping that they need to pick up this outfit or that baby item for Natalie. Well, Cate was very excited when we arrived and was very sweet to Natalie, giving her kisses, telling her "I love you, Natalie," and helping me feed her. It was TOO cute!! The last pic is Natalie with Julia. We'll miss you and hope to see you again before Natalie is driving! Best of luck in your new career and we'll call you when we're in your area.
