Down Will Come Baby...

When Natalie was born, we received so many sweet cards and gifts from family and dear friends.  

In particular, one of Matt's co-workers sent us this gorgeous bench puzzle personalized with Natalie's name.  It was extremely thoughtful and just the cutest little gift.  

To show our appreciation, Matt wanted to take a picture of Natalie sitting up by the stool.  So he headed upstairs, set her down next to the stool, and took this picture.


Perhaps I should tell you that at the time this picture was taken, Natalie was about 2 weeks old.  Clearly not able to hold her own head up...let alone sit up straight, my dear husband propped her up only to get this picture of her in the act of tumbling right over.
I was downstairs when this happened and all I heard was Natalie start to cry and Matt say, "Oh..I'm so sorry!  That was Daddy's fault!" 

Ha!  Funniest thing ever.  So glad we have this picture to remember it!

*FYI:  I'm not laughing at the fact that my daughter fell...well, kind of...but mostly at how silly the hubs was to think she could sit there all on her own.  And just so you know, no babies were harmed in the taking of this photo...

Too funny! I think it's so sweet that he was trying to take her picture with her stool - and that he thought she could sit up for the picture. Great story!

Jenny -

She is so beautiful - we can't wait to hold her. Hope we get a chance to see her soon. I can't believe she is already so big. You and Matt are awesome parents - fall and all - she landed in this world surrounded by a whole lot of love.

Love you BIG
