Cue Elton*

Social buttefly that she is, Natalie already has many baby friends. (And MANY more that we can't link to 'cause their parents don't have blogs! Fix that already, willya?) She's met so many babies that are older and or bigger than she, and it's always fun to see what's in store for us in the coming months and years. (Laughing! Rolling! Sitting up! Putting in the binky all by herself! We can't wait...)

Today, though, things were a bit different. We took Natalie to meet our friends' new baby today. Ava was born on Friday and made quite an entrance, all 9 lbs. 4 oz. of her! The tables were turned and WE had the older baby showing off all the big baby tricks. (Smiling! Babbling! Standing in our laps! And shrieking, unfortunately.) We also got to pay back some karmic debts by bringing them food and running a couple of errands for them.

Tomorrow, we head off to the beach for a couple of days with my mom, and after that, we're off to Michigan to meet Cait's family and let Natalie get to meet another cool baby friend. Our Internet access will be spotty for at least the next week, so apologies in advance for minimal posting.**

**As if we'd been posting a lot lately! Ha! But I am indeed working on questions for the interviewees. Consider it my vacation assignment.
