You're Never Too Old for Dress Ups

The real question is, why wouldn't we have a Dancing with the Stars party.  That's right.  Tonight my three favorite ladies and I dressed up in our favorite dancing attire, had a lovely dinner, and watched celebs dance the night away on national television.  It was delightful.  Unfortunately, I only managed to capture two costumes on film:

On Friday, Natalie went to the doctor for her 9-month check up.  Other than being sick, she checked out great!  We discovered that the sniffly nose she had developed last week was actually an ear infection, her first.  So, she's been on antibiotics since Friday, and is FINALLY starting to feel a little better.  To make matters worse, she is also getting her two top front teeth.  One is busted through the gum, and the other has a corner through, so soon she should have some relief on that front, too.

Natalie has met all of her milestones, and is even ahead on some others.  She did not need any shots this month, but was stuck anyway for her flu shot, and has to get the second dose in 4 weeks.  She also had some blood drawn for iron and lead tests.

And, finally, her growth stats:

weight: 18 lbs 15.9 oz (50th percentile)

height: 28.5 in (75th percentile)
