We have been home almost two weeks and have been quite busy and a little sick too. Natalie has opened up even more and is such a cutie pie! She steals everyone's heart that she meets. She is so active and is still eating like a champ - as long as she likes what is being served!
Natalie had all of her vaccinations updated and lots of blood work done by her new pediatrician the first week we were home.
Drew is back at work - and has been for the last two weeks. When he comes home for lunch and the evening, he is greeted by a very excited girl - she loves when her "BaBa" is home.
Natalie is adjusting very well to her new home and family. She thrives and really comes out of her shell either with just the two of us or a swarm of people. She loves the loud and busy times we have with friends and family.
When she first saw Barkley, she screamed and of course he had to give her a big lick on the cheek and that set her off. After the first day, she was fine with him and thus the jealousy began - with both. I have to rock and love on each of them at the same time, in addition to giving snacks at the same time. It is quite comical! Natalie has grabbed and hit Barkley a few times when he wasn't quick enough -- he is so gentle that he just looks at us for help!
I am attaching a picture from home and a few from our portraits for her 16 month updates.
We are partial, but we think she is just perfect and precious and one of the prettiest and sweetest little girls we know. We are truly smitten with Natalie and so happy that our journey concludes with such a wonderful and special person to share our lives with.
