Nati Update

So, it's been a while since I have given you an update. We have been pretty crazy. I just took the Professional Engineer's Exam and had been studying for months. We have also been looking for a new house for our dogs (this will have to be a post on its own) and Jason and I have been super busy at work.

We took her to the park for the first time the other day. Needless to say, she had a great time. Here are a few other things she has done for the first time:

• She raises her eyebrows when you raise yours.
• Her favorite thing to do is putting her babies to sleep. She covers them up and pats their back and says night, night! She can do it for ever!! She just does it over and over again!! She covers them up with whatever she can find.
  
• She can say Gigi, Eww, Yuck, Hi, and she tries to say everything we say.
• She likes to put our change into the water jug where we collect them.
• She has learned to drink from a straw.
• She can now blow kisses.
• For about a week, only a week unfortunately, she slept without a paci. Then, she got sick and was NOT happy so we gave it back to her.

She is such a crazy baby right now. She is into everything. Looking at everything, rouchign everything and now trying to immitate everything we do!

Easter

Nati had a great time during easter. It started on Thursday for her. Pappaw and Mammaw Patty and Ryan came to see her. They brought her a popcorn popper, you know, the one you push. They also gave her a cute flower to put in her room and a cute denim outfit for this summer.

On Saturday we saw Mammaw Lucy, Erika and Travis. They came over for dinner. She had a great time. Ther brought her a little bunny that lights up. She thought it was great!!

On Sunday, we went to Tita's for lunch. Nati has an Easter Egg Hunt all for herself. She didn't quite get it at first but then she got the hang of it. We actually set all the eggs out again so Tita could watch her find them since she was cooking during the first one. She loved it!! I expect that by next year she will be an expert at finding Easter Eggs.After Tita's house we went to Mammaw Patty's brother's house. We stayed there for a while and had some more to eat, of course. By then it had been a pretty long weekend for all of us. We went back home and we were all exhausted by then.

Spring Time!!

Nati is ready for spring!! Since it has gotten warmer the Nati has been spending more time outside. She is still not very sure about walking on grass. She loves to pick flowers and she LOVES to go on walks on her stroller. The other day we bought her a new umbrella stroller and we brought it into the house to open it. Once she saw all she wanted to do was sit in it. We ended up taking her out for a walk at 8:30 in the morning. I think we went for three walks that day!!

It has become very hard to take Nati's pics. She always runs toward me when i am trying to take her picture. Here she is running around the couch chasing me!!

Puzzle Fun Dome

I think that's the name of the place! Anyways, Nati went there for the first time. We met Jennifer, Jennifer's little sister and her nieces there. Nati had a great time. She even went down the slide with me and Jennifer. She was loving it until the end when Jennifer took her down the steeper slide and she never cracked a smile. I thought she was going to cry but she didn't. If she is anything like me it probably just made her a little motion sick!!

Trying to get Nati to go into the tree house.
Don't worry, this is not the slide I was talking about.
Here we go!!!

A New Dog

Nati got a cute little pull dog from Annette (she works with me). It barks and makes noise when you pull it. She loved it! She goes from room to room pulling on it. The funniest is when she gets tangled up in it.
