Listen close...

Because of her cold, Miss Natalie snores. (Much cuter in babies than husbands!)

Samantha wanted to take this picture of herself...

...and she did a GREAT job!

Natalie Loves Hats

Because Natalie is bald and I have heard that people loose all their heat thru their heads I have put a hat on Natalie for the past 24 hours. (It's been a little bit cooler.) And she seems to be much happier with a hat on. It just goes to prove once again that her and Samantha are two different little girls. Samantha HATES wearing hats.

COSI & Children's

Today, Samantha's babysitter was off so I decided to to enlist Mandy and take all the kids on an outing. She suggested COSI so that is where we went. The kids has a blast as you will be able to see.

Chase and Samantha.

Grady found the train table and was totally engrossed.

Grady and Samantha in the play house.

L-R: Grady, Chase and Samantha at the water table.

They brought out this little cage (AKA Rat Basketball court) and Samantha was totally enamored. She did not want to sit in the semi circle like all the other kids, she had to sit right next to the COSI employee.

Samantha is in the back left; Grady is in the front and Chase is on the bottom right.

After COSI, we went to McDonalds for lunch then came home for naps. Well Samantha and Natalie got to nap while I ran around getting unpacked from COSI and getting repacked for Natalie's doctor's appointment at Children's. Pawpaw came over to sit while Samantha slept and Natalie headed off. Jeff was able to leave work a little early and meet us there. And luckily for Natalie she just had to have a jelly-on-the-belly ultrasound and she slept thru most of it. We will not meet with the Urologist until the end of May but from what we could tell we do not think that Natalie has any kidney problems. Yeah!!!

Natalie is 2 weeks old today...and sick :(

We tried so hard to keep all the germs going around away from Miss Natalie but she couldn't escape the sickness. She has been coughing and sneezing all day :( I have even caught some snot bubbles coming out of her sweet little nose.

I called the Doctor and he said that unless she becomes REALLY fussy, stops eating or has a temperature of 100.5 degrees or higher then she doesn't need to come in. But I sure do feel terrible for her. And the Doctor said that this cold that is going around is lasting 10-14 days. By the time Miss Natalie is 1 month old she will have been sick for half her life.

The Hauser's stopped by for a visit Sunday.

Natalie found her thumb! That is definately a Hauser trait, just not as cute as dimples :)

Jillian and Miss Natalie. (And half of Samantha playing with my iPad.)

Aunt Rae and Miss Natalie.

Cousin Katie and a hungry Miss Natalie.

Daddy's Little Girls!

My "Paci" Girls

Samantha wanted to have a "paci" just like her baby sister. These are the sweetest girls in the world.

My "will always be my baby" big girl is sick :(

Jeff took Samantha to the Dr. this morning b/c she has had a runny nose and coughing a lot. Well it turns out that she has a cold and ear infection in her left ear. While she is sick she cannot get close to her baby sister which just breaks my heart. She says, "All I want to do is look at her Mommy" in the most sweet / pathetic voice. It's enough to make me want to cry. Hopefully the antibiotic's will kick her sickness in the butt and she will be better in no time.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

My family sure has had the "Luck of the Irish" lately.
