The new creature in the new year

Scotty has been preaching at IBM the last 3 weeks on the new creature in the new year. It's been a great exercise for him to have this challenge to communicate God's word in Spanish as well as a reminder for us personally to not set goals or make resolutions without seeking the Holy Spirit's direction and empowering to carry them out.
I had to take a couple pics of Natty in this adorable outfit that my friend Jana gave me. As I'm figuring out, there are many outfits that are labeled one thing but seem to fit differently that they would lead me to believe. This one says "6 months" but is just fitting her perfectly right now at 3 1/2 months. The skirt won't slide over her chunky thighs for much longer. The first pic shows that no matter what your age, it's not flattering to a lady to take a picture from below her waist...The second one is much cuter.

Natalie isn't sleeping through the night yet and actually seems to be going through a phase of sleeping less than she has been. But, she smiles a lot, is learning to laugh (especially when Daddy tickles her feet with his beard), loves to grab at the toys that hang above her on her play mat, and definitely gets excited when we walk in the room. She is an absolute joy and receives much attention from the neighbors and our church friends- hopefully it won't go to her head.

This is funny...I kept trying to figure out what the "creature" was. I was thinking, "Do Bolivians relate more to animals or something? Is there an indigenous creature that comes out this time of year?" Then I read the post before that and saw that it was about being a new "creation"...ohhh. I just kept waiting for the explanation!

Apparently, only thinking about feeding, changing and napping greatly lowers one's IQ :)

And Natalie is just TOO adorable!
