About our Natalie

Here are some things we love about Natalie ~

Her big, gorgeous smile that you just can't help smiling back at
Her adventurous spirit
How happy she gets when she looks at herself in the mirror
She snuggles with you right after she wakes up
She is on the move most of the time now (daddy calls her a crawling machine) and pulls up on anything and everything she can (including us and her sister!)
The way she sticks out her tongue
How she shares with Kennedy
How she moves her little arms and legs so fast when she is excited
She opens her mouth to give you a big kiss
She likes chewing on anything cold
Her determination (which may be also called stubborn at times, but that's our girl!)
That she loves to make Kennedy laugh
The noise she makes when she wants more to eat (mmm, mmm)
She's just plain silly :-)


Here she is checking out herself in the musical mirror

She pulled herself up to the ottoman and was pretty proud :)
Now she does it all the time!

Trying to pull up on the bumbo seat

Bath time!!!


Going for a spin on the corn popper

That big smile that we love


Asleep with her sippy cup in her mouth

Playing with the bouncy ball at her friends birthday party


She started to fall asleep in the jumperoo - precious baby...




Here is a video of her making sounds with her mouth with mommy helping (another one of her favorite things to do, make funny sounds!)
WE LOVE YOU NAT-BUG!!!

I predict that Natalie will be walking by 10 months! Livy was the same way - so active and pulling up on everything and took her first steps one day before turning 10 months old - watch out!!!

So cute! We need to come for a visit this fall. I'll be down at ballet during Julia's classes at times so I need to find out how to get to your house, how long that would take that time of day, etc....we'll have to talk about that soon. : )
