Nat the hitch hiker

We took a trip down memory lane today and put Natalie in the carrier my parents used to put me in. It will work perfectly for our trip to the cottage coming up next week (we're leaving Friday right after work and will be gone until Tuesday). At this cottage there are TONS of steps to go down to get to the beach and they are pretty steep as well. So needless to say the steps are a bit of a challenge on their own, let alone when you're carrying a 20lb baby.

I think it's cute that Natalie has her thumb out as if she's hitch hiking (funny how the brand name of that carrier is Hitch Hiker)

Natalie went for her 6 month check up at the doctor's yesterday and she did very well with the needles. It's good to have chubby legs :) She weighs 19lbs 10oz and is 26.5 inches in length. She's only put on a couple of pounds since her 4 month check up but she's definitely getting longer. I'm counting down the days until she's out of the infant car seat because carrying her in that is quite the workout! If we weren't going on vacation next week we'd probably install the new car seat but we figured it would be easier to lug her around in the infant one for the week. Hopefully the weather cooperates because we're planning on hanging out at the cottage for a few days, then we'll come home on Tuesday because I have a bridal shower to go to. On Wednesday we're planning on going to the Toronto Zoo and then head to Niagara Falls after that. We'll check out the Butterfly conservatory on Thursday and then we'll rest on Friday...which means laundry & cleaning probably ha ha

Hope you're all having a great week!
