Yes, it rocks!
Ha, I'm about to splash Mom...
Frog legs, anyone?

Natalie's Busy Weekend
The 3 of us had a very busy weekend full of fun!
Saturday Chris and I went to a cooking class with friends in Milwaukee so Natalie stayed and played all day with cousin Rachel. She loves Rachel and had a blast with her 2 big dogs, Sadie and Blizzard, as well. Rachel even arranged a play date with the little boy across the street!
Sunday we went north to Green Bay to catch a movie and Natalie spent a great afternoon with cousin Ashley who threw a pool party just for her! She loved the water and their 2 big dogs, Cinammon and Lexie. Check out the video below. She played hard and even got to try some new foods - grapefruit and Auntie Sandy's banana bread. (Thanks for sending some home with us - it's almost gone!)
Sunday afternoon we took a walk in Natalie's new birthday wagon, courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa Deschane. Since the wagon is more of a chariot Natalie invited her Care Bear to go with us. They both loved the ride!
Thanks again to all the Andersons and VanCalsters for babysitting and to Grandma and Grandpa for the wagon. We had such a great weekend!

12 Month Very Well Baby
Natalie had her 12 month well baby visit with the pediatrician this morning. Not only was she pronounced in very good health, her motor and social skills were declared on par with a 15-month-old! And while she's still skinny, her height is moving up and her head size is balancing out. Her growth continues along the same curve she's always followed and Dr. Jones was very happy with her.
Weight - 17 lbs, 8 oz - 4th percentile
Height - 28.25 in - 22nd percentile
Head circumference - 45.2 cm - 53rd percentile
She was all over the exam room today (again, over-developed motor and social skills) so catching a picture was trickier than usual!

Happy 1st Birthday, Skittle!
Miss Natalie turns 1 today and we can hardly believe it!
We had a princess birthday party for her on Saturday at the cabin. It began with some unusual spring weather - snow on Friday and into the night. This is Balsam Lake on Saturday morning.
Instead of a birthday cake, I made birthday princess cupcakes. They had a strawberry filling that took a couple of attempts to master but thanks to my mother-in-law's cake genius and tools the end product turned out wonderfully.
We had a birthday spaghetti lunch - one of Natalie's favorites. She got to dig in and had fun making a mess. Anyone want to guess how many places I found spaghetti sauce afterwards?
After lunch she destroyed her cupcake and then ate every last crumb.
We're so blessed by our wonderful girl and wish her a very happy 1st birthday today!

The Decider
We've had a very busy couple of weeks picking out things for our new house - lighting, flooring, cabinetry, siding, stonework, windows, roofing, staircase banisters and spindles, knobs, doors - the list goes on. Thankfully when Chris and I have had differing opinions, we've just deferred to the real boss. She's been most helpful!
For anyone interested in more info about the house, here's my shameless plug for our new blog - http://witrendhome.blogspot.com/. You can follow all the construction and happenings as the WI Trend Home 2010 becomes a reality and our new home!
