Natalie's New Tricks

This month has been kind of sparse as far as updating my blog goes. Reason? Check out the pictures below and see if you can guess.




Natalie says, "Okay! Enough already! They get the point! I'm mobile now and have a lot of exploring to do. What's so wrong with that?!"

This little girl is certainly keeping us on our toes. She is walking all over and has no fear. She seems bound and determined to get stitches, and she has me gasping several times a day. She walks at high speed and has more confidence in her walking ability than she should. She tries to clap, jump, dance, and carry large objects while making her way across the room. She really just needs to focus on the walking part, but you can't tell her that!

Her little personality is coming out more and more. She loves to do a happy scream in public and get attention. She has also learned how to fake cry, which she likes to do on her way into the playpen. She must feel that the padded walls are too safe. She has developed a big cheesy grin, which always makes me smile. She refuses to eat baby food or anything on a spoon. She insists on feeding herself. Natalie has recently started bringing me certain books that she wants to read over and over. When we get to the end, she flips it back to the first page and grunts. In the picture below, she is laughing at her great grandma Joyce.

HAPPY 11 MONTH BIRTHDAY, MISS NATALIE!

*A Scott update is coming soon. Both of the kids seem to be growing up on me! He's up to some new tricks of his own.
