Natalia is 6 weeks old today! I didn't write that in the last post. We love her so much! Today's been a little rough for her, but hopefully tomorrow will be better. Anyway, we love our Natalia more than anything. She is growing more and more each day, literally. One night we put a new sleeper on her; it was a little too big. The next night we put the same sleeper on her and it fit her. We hadn't washed it so nothing could've made it shrink. To go on, Natalia is 'talking' more, it is so adorable. She is definitely smiling more and sometimes we are positive she is smiling at us. Natalia is very good at lifting her head. During tummy time she's even lifted her entire upper body with her arms! (only 1.6 times though) Natalia also has very strong legs. We've got a kicker (or dancer or whatever she wants to be) on our hands. Natalia is so beautiful. We get compliments from her all the time. Random strangers have come up to me to tell me how cute Natalia is. One of my favorite compliments is when people say, "Have you seen a more beautiful baby?" She really is adorable. I can't get enough of her. Tomorrow we are blessing our little Natalia. I feel a mixture of emotions, all good ones. I'm excited. I'm happy. I can't believe she is growing so fast. I am grateful. I feel blessed. I feel love from our Heavenly Father. I feel love for my Natalia. I feel so many things. Time really is going by so fast. Today I was looking in her room for a pair of pants to go with a shirt I want her to wear tomorrow. During my search I looked through a bag with ~18 month clothing. Looking at the outfits it was hard to fathom that Natalia would be big enough to fit into them, that she would grow up and be a toddler. I walked into Josh and my bedroom where he was with Natalia and showed him one or two of the outfits. I told him that it was crazy to think she would grow into them. To be honest, it makes me a little sad. I don't know how to explain why exactly. I've been around kids my whole life. I feel like it's sad when kids grow up. I think it's because I just miss their complete innocence when they are so young. I don't know why exactly, but it gets me choked up. Today Josh and I tended the Coombs'. Josh played soccer with the boys while I held Natalia and stayed by Millie. It was such a tender moment seeing how much fun the boys were having. I remember when "C" was so little and how he would laugh at everything. I could hear and see some of the way he would laugh as a toddler today when he was laughing while playing with Josh. "K" was having so much fun, trying his best to be his best at soccer. He was adorable. I wish I had brought my camera to capture some of these moments. As I watched "K," I thought about how much he's grown and just keeps getting older and older, as everyone else does. I don't know why I feel a little sad thinking about kids growing up, but it just does. Well, it's late and we still have to get things ready for amanha. Night.
