September Cuteness

My favorite posts each month... just a collection of funny or adorable pictures....

I had one of my last big events working at the gym this month and Natalie came to work with me. I think she got a little bored.......



With the weather getting just a tiny bit cooler, we are able to go outside more often. We went to the zoo with some friends, but I forgot to take pictures. While I was packing the car up, I realized that it was Natalie's 1st trip to the zoo and I didn't have any pictures of it. What a horrible Mom I am. So I took a picture in the parking lot.... at least I got one, right?

 
We were even able to walk down to the park without melting. Sami enjoyed being able to swing without her legs getting burned, while Natalie wasn't too sure about wearing her hat.
 
 
 
Sami continues to be so excited about school. She was given her first (and only so far, only) homework assignment. We had to find pictures of all of her favorite things and she glued them on. Look at the concentration on her face!
 
 
 
I can't believe how big Natalie is getting! Here she is playing video games with Daddy and trying out the bumbo seat for the first time.
 
 
I think she looks like she's meditating in this picture!
 
 
Warning- this is what happens when Daddy dresses Natalie..... (notice how the onsie is snapped OUTSIDE the pants?!?!?!?!?!)
 
 
Pretty Baby
 
 
I am noticing that it is nearly impossible to get pictures of BOTH girls together...... they are at such different stages right now. I jump at the chance to get them together. Look how adorable they are snuggled in together, ready for some songs before nap time. (No, Natalie doesn't sleep with Sami, but it's cute to watch them cuddle until it's time for Nat and I to leave Sami to sleep!)

Sami's 1st Day of School

How is it possible that Sami is old enough for preschool? She was so excited that I couldn't even get a good picture of her, she just wouldn't sit still.
"Let's Go Mommy!" The picture in the car seat isn't the best, but she was so excited!

 
Sami's School

 
Checking out the home center (of course)
 
 
She had a great first day. I am so excited and proud of her!

Fishy Fishy

I knew that swim lessons were a good idea- but had no idea that Sami would be literally swimming by herself at 2 1/2! Just watch her "Playing around" at Auntie Jens' pool....


It may not be the best form just yet, but she will get there! I am just so happy that she is comfortable in the pool and enjoys it so very much!

Natalie Turns 2 Months Old!

2 Month Stats:
22.5 Inches long
11pounds, 7 ounces
14.84 in head circumfrence



She's really starting to fill the laundry basket!
 
 
How could I forget to get some pictures of my 2 babies together? They love each other!

Meet Your Teacher Day

Big news in the Richter house- Sami is starting preschool! The School year starts out with a "Meet your teacher day". Look out world, here she comes!


I was so happy that Sami felt secure enough to get right in and take a look around
 
 
She was even sad to leave- but we did get great pictures with her teachers
 
Ms. Starlyn                                              Ms. Stacy
   
 
Of course, we had to go get lunch to celebrate- just Mommy, Sami and baby Natalie
 
 
Looking forward to a great year!
