Natalie's First Bath

                                                                   Natalie's First Bath


Natalie had her first bath and so far seems to not be crying during her baths. Maybe she will be a water baby like her sisters. She didn't cry at the hospital or at home during her baths. She has such a sweet temperament. These are a few of the photos from her first bath that Ava and Charlotte also go to help with. 


Ava's 4th Birthday

                                                                  Ava's 4th Birthday!
Ava is 42 inches tall and weighs 36lbs. She celebrated her fourth birthday by having lunch at the Rainforest Cafe at South Coast Plaza. It was her first time there and her favorite part seemed to be the animal themed bar stools with their tails. We went at 1:45 PM on a Thursday and the restaurant was not crowded at all, which was perfect because it was Natalie's first outing at only a 8 days old. After lunch Ava also had her family, grandparents and a small group of friends over for Hello Kitty birthday cake, pizza and ice cream. She had an awesome birthday.

Introducing Our Sweet Natalie

                                                         Introducing Our Sweet Natalie
Our sweet girl was born on Wednesday, November 21st, 2012. She came right on her due date and was a fast labor and delivery. She took us by surprise and was welcomed into this world just 29 minutes after we were admitted to the hospital. We are all very excited and proud of our newest addition. Natalie is a sweet and very easy baby. We gave her my middle name, Brisa, which means sea breeze or mist in Spanish. Of the three Helring girls she is also the biggest. We are blessed that she is such a healthy and happy baby. Below are pictures from the first nine days of her life. We can't stop hugging and kissing our sweet angel and are so lucky to have her. This was an exceptionally memorable Thanksgiving holiday.
