These shoes are made for crawlin...



Check out those kicks!


Melanie's loony faces!



Melanie and Nate

So I took Natalie to get her 1st official pair of shoes today. She got fitted at Stride Rite (yes, I know a little pricey but Melanie's first few pairs and her tennis shoes always come from there b/c they size her and fit her well so Natalie does not get left out of the process). She wears a 2 1/2 on one side and 3 1/4 on the other so 3 1/2 it is. Oh, and of course a WIDE! They are kind of high tops to hold in all of her fat. Melanie's first were Robeez which I loved but Natalie's foot and cankles are too fat for that so we got this other kind. They are still the shoe you can bend in half but are oh so cute. She is trying her hardest to crawl and can crawl backwards but hasn't mastered the forward crawl. She loves all food we've given her. The only "real" food is bananas, crackers and cheese but she loves it all!

There haven't been any posts in a while b/c a nasty stomach bug hit Clint, Natalie, Me, Clint's mom, our neighbors, and all of Clint's store. So far Melanie has been in the clear. Yuck! Good thing is it is short lived (no more than 24 hours) so the end is in sight!

Happy shout out for my BFF Ruth- she just signed on a new house in Lawrenceville. We are getting closer and closer together- WAHOO!

That's so exciting. We just bought Bo a pair of Stride Rite's too although Tyler won't stop giving me beef about them because they are high-top looking and he thinks they are dorky...Nevermind the fact that they are orthopedically the best choice for our new little walker...Be grateful that you have a girl though because boys shoes at this age (with the wide foot complication on top of that) are not so cute. Natalie's are precious!
