A 7 week old Natalie enjoying a nice warm bath before bed. Something we’ve definitely noticed is how she opens her mouth when enjoying something. Also, take a look at the amusing video below.
At 6 weeks old, Natalie is really starting to focus and track moving objects now. Here she’s in her Rainforest Swing checking out the rotating toucan, monkey etc above her. Also a great way to calm the dreaded colic.
Natalie is really starting to track and focus on things with her eyes. Whether it’s her toys, Manchester United on the telly, or the mysterious green stuff in the garden… her eyes are now working overtime!
Below, she focuses on catching up on some sleep.
Here Natalie is nearly a month old – trying out Grandma’s homemade shawl and hat. She’s really enjoying looking out the windows now, and her eyes are getting bigger and brighter by the day.
Max is never far away from Natalie.
Here are some of the latest photos, taken over the last couple of weeks around Christmas.
Here she is in her “My first Christmas” outfit. Thanks Dawn! Here, she’s nearly 3 weeks old.

Here, she’s about 2 weeks old
Happy Holidays everyone! (Christmas 2009)
Here Natalie is already over a week old! Finger nails have been cut, hair has grown and her face is turning pinker. Notice her hands raised as she sleeps – her signature sleeping style. Thanks to Grandma for the warm and cosy jacket.
At 4 days old, Natalie is really starting to open her eyes and inspect her surroundings. Things that she finds fascinating are: the Christmas tree, ceiling fans and the golf course. In the photo below, she’s wearing Grandmother’s newly knitted jacket, and a double chin.
Below, she’s “zonked” out in her Rainforest Swing. She absolutely loves [...]
After a couple of days in the hospital, Natalie is allowed to come home where she is met by a curious Coco and jealous Max. To be fair, Max has already adjusted after only a few hours. Notice her incredibly long fingers.. destined to be a pianist like her mom?
One day after Natalie’s birth, she meets her Grandmothers in the hospital. Bundled, sleepy and full of hair.
Natalie trying out her facial expressions, albeit a little red in the face.
Still in the hospital, Mom and baby bond 1 day after birth. Yes, that’s a full head of hair!
We’re delighted to announce the birth of our beautiful baby girl, Natalie Claire Hebdon. She made her entrance into a stormy, rainy world on Monday December 7, at 8:40 am – that’s nearly 3 weeks earlier than her December 25 ETA. Albeit a tad early, she still weighed in at a healthy 7 lbs, 10 ounces.
Labor started on [...]
With baby looking to show her face on Dec 25th, it pretty much places her birthday within the flu season. Our house is also inhabited by Max and Coco (our cat and dog), so we figured we’d better get the home’s air quality in order, prior to her arrival.
After extensive research it became apparent that consumers could splurge [...]
At 35 weeks pregnant, we’re now approaching the final straight. As part of the final preparations we attended a 9-5 compressed course at Long Beach Memorial, that shed light on labor, breathing, birthing, drugs, etc. While there was an enormous amount of information and graphic video footage, the thing that stuck with us most was the instructor’s simple [...]
Thanks to Jericoh, Marianne and Dawn for throwing the most amazing baby shower. It was hosted in Jericho’s Moroccan beautiful home, on the Naples canals.
Here are some photos of Denise at 27 weeks pregnant.
Our suspicions confirmed. Doctor admits vaccine is more deadly than swine flu itself & will not give it to his kids.
The Swine Flu is an orchestrated attempt to spread fear and chaos into the population and to try to get people vaccinated, which everyone should know contains mercury that damages your nervous system. Pregnant mothers [...]
At first glance I thought this was fake. Are all babies born with the ability to dance?
Congratulations to:
- Chris Skeene and his son Ezekile
- Marlene Pyle and her nephew Gavin
Enjoy Sandra Magsamen’s Little Bear Hugs and My Little Monkey books!
