Natalie looking a little sad. Hard to imagine why.. tough life, lots of responsibilities.
Getting her workout with her baby gym. Again, tough life.
Natalie checks out the fish at the Long Beach Aquarium, from within the comfortable confines and perspective of a BABYBJÖRN. At almost 3 months old, she was completely awake throughout the tour and fixated on the fish. We highly recommend fish as a way to stimulate a baby’s eyes and brain. The fishes bright colors and movement within the [...]
Natalie has finally started smiling more and frowning less. The smiling actually started around 6 weeks, but this was the first time we caught it on “film” (at around 9 weeks). She’s also trying to talk — not quite sure what she’s attempting to say, but it’s expression never-the-less. Finally something for US to smile [...]
Julie’s 4 year old Eva meets 7 week old Natalie. Already practicing to be a mom? I’m sure it will only be a matter of a couple years before the two will be hanging out together.
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.
Denise’s side of the family came over to our house to welcome 6 week old Natalie into the world. A kind of “post-birth” baby shower.

Dad (me) holding Natalie
Michael holding Natalie – getting a rude awakening from her colicky screams. You would never guess from this photo though.
Frowning as usual.
Frowning has now become darn right belligerent. [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

The Kickbee is a stretchable band with attached sensors, and is worn by a pregnant mother over her stomach. A microcontroller in the band then captures the movement of the baby kicking, and transmits [...]
