Nati is 8 months old!!

The Nati is already 8 months!! I can't believe it!!
Let's see what she has learned recently. She can crawl and pull her self up to stand. She has tried some new foods. She has had apple, vanilla wafers, blueberry muffin, graham crackers and a strawberry fruit bar and she loves them ALL!! She is still not very fond of water or juice but she loves all vegetables.

The Nata is on her 5th round of antibiotics for he ear infection. She is actually getting tubes put in on November 1st. Hopefully it will keep the ear infections away for a little while.

The Nati has also learned to protest!! VERY VERY loudly. She screams when you take a toy away or when you take her away from something she was having fun with. She is still very sweet though.She says DADADADA a bunch and MAMAMA some. Don't worry, it does not reflect how much she loves her DADA or MAMA. HAHA, just kidding. She has become a daddy's girl for sure. She can't stand Jason not picking her up as soon as he gets home. She hugs him and then she is back to playing.

Nati the Pianist

I just hope she gets Jason's or my Mom's musical talent.

Natalie is crawling!!!

The Nata has learned to crawl! Luckily I don't think she fully understands her new found freedom. She hasn't tried to go to far YET!! She pretty much stays in the living room and crawls to get to toys, the table, or Jason and me. She has started to multi task though! It is hard work trying to pull your self up at the same time as trying to get some measuring spoons in your mouth!!I am sure this won't last long. Soon she will realize that she can go ANYWHERE!!

Nati's New Outfit

I just had to take pictures. The Nati looked so cute in her new outfit. It is still a little big but we needed something a little more dressy than normal. We were all dressed up to go to my cousin's Bar Mitzvahs. Natalie even started the morning off with shoes. That doesn't happen often. She didn't keep them on for long!

Playing with Pappaw

Pappaw and Uncle Ryan came to visit the Nata. It had been about three weeks since we had last seen them. The Nata and Pappaw played the whole time. Uncle Ryan and Papi were too busy with the Xbox. Shame, shame, shame!! :)

Breast Cancer Walk

On Saturday, Tita, Tia Lucia, the Nata and I did the breast cancer walk at the waterfront. It was FREEZING!!! Nati's poor little nose was so red!! We were all bundled up. The Nata wasn't very happy until I put her in the carrier and then she was great. Once the walk started and the sun come out it got a lot warmer and the Nati enjoyed the rest of the walk in her stroller. Thank goodness!! She is way to heavy to carry for 5k!!

One Last Day of Warm Weather

I just had to get some use out of this outfit before it got too cold. It's super cute. It looks like the Nata is going to school!! She was very playful this day but there is still no crawling!! She has learned to go from her belly to sitting up. Any day now she is going to start crawling and we won't be able to keep up!

She was also trying to stand up in her crib. Needless to say, Jason lowered the mattress that day!!

St. James Art Fair

This was the Nati's first trip to an art show. We had a good time walking around. We didn't stay too long. The Nati is getting very heavy to carry and it would have been a nightmare to push a stroller through the crowd. We went with Tia Lucia and Tita also.

Nati the Model

We had pictures taken of the Nata and of the three of us. They came out great. The Nata was a little ham for the camera. She smiled the whole time!! I think she liked the photographers red hair! These were the best:

Happy 1st Bday Ella

We went to Ella's Birthday Party. We had a great time. I can't believe that Ella is a year old! Next it will be Stella and then Nati!!
Here is Bethany with some pretty full hands.
We gave Nata some dried fruit that Bethany had brought for Stella. She loved it until she made quite a face a gagged a little. It scared me to death!!! I think I will wait a while before I try that again!! :(

Baby it's cold outside

It is getting cold outside and the Nati is getting ready. She even lets me put a hat on her. Who wouldn't love to have a toboggan like that!!

Meeting Sydney

The other night we went to see Justin, Jessica, MacKenzie and new baby Sydney. Unfortunately I actually didn't get a picture with Sydney. She was too busy sleeping while MacKenzie and Natalie were playing. MacKenzie loved Natalie's "I throw it and you pick it up" game. She was a very good sport!!

Yogi Nati

The Nata is working hard on crawling. She is so close, she is almost there. Right now she looks like she is doing downward dog. She has gotten pretty good at it I must say.
