She's growing fast and getting chubbier every day. We're so curious to know how much she weighs, but I guess we'll have to wait until her next doctor appointment to find out! Every day she looks more and more like Natalie as she outgrows her "newborn" looks.
Just in the last few days, she's started being really alert during her awake times. She stares at the people who hold her like she's really checking them out and learning from them. She will also now turn her head to look at something. While we were in Tuscaloosa over Thanksgiving, our nephew Austin had a moose that sang Christmas songs and lit up when you squeezed his paw. A few times while Natalie was in Grandma Frances's lap, we'd squeeze the moose's paw and Natalie would turn her head to the left to look at the moose!
She's getting really good at holding her head up and does it every chance she gets. It makes her seem so much bigger.
Today Natalie's umbilical cord stump fell off, revealing a cute little belly button! Since this happened, we were also able to give her a bubble bath instead of a sponge bath. She was sooo cute in her whale tub:
The last few nights she's given us longer stretches of sleep since she's been going three hours between feedings instead of two hours. That extra hour makes a huge difference in the middle of the night, so I hope she'll keep it up!!

I love the whale tub! Jeremy always loved his bath, and would play in the water until it got cold! Natalie is changing daily!!! She is sooooo cute! Can't wait to see her again!
