Thanks Tio David, Tia Karina and Pauli...

...for the cutest sweater!!

Nati is 18 months old

I took Nati for her 18 month check up. Everything went fine and she showed off for the nurse practitioner. She sis everything the nurse asked her to do like pour cheerios from a little bottle into a cup. She talked, jumped and sang for her. Her weight is 23 lbs 6 oz (40%) and her height is 31 2/8 in (45%). So, what is the Nati doing these days:

- She loves to sing along with Papi and his guitar. Her favorite song is still the Wheels on the Bus.
- She has started making music requests in the car. Her favorite songs are one about a train and one about instruments. She usually sings along and makes the instrument sounds.
- She started calling Pappaw POOPOO!!
- She definitely has an opinion and will let you know when she is not happy.
- She now reads to her babies. She makes us sit on the floor with her before bedtime, she gives me or Jason a book and she keeps one for herself and we both read to the babies. Then, switch books. We go through 3 or 4 books and then to bed.
- She loves doing somersaults, although sometimes she gets too close to the wall.
- She has started putting word together into sentences.
- It is super cute to hear her name all the kids in her class, especially Laurel! It just sounds so cute when she says it!!
- She knows some sign language from daycare but the funny thing is that the one she knows the best is COOKIE! She never says the word without the sign!
- She definitely found the TV. Her favorite shows are Plaza Sesamo (Spanish Sesame Street) and Blue's Clues.
- She loves to color and draw.

Mami's Away

I had to go to Little Rock for work. Nati and Papi had a great time while I was gone. Well, maybe not great!! Let's say good! HAHA.
This is Nati and Papi having dinner.

The Zoo with Nati and Stella

We went to the zoo the other day with Tia Cynthia, Bethany and Stella. I wanted to go before it started getting cold again so Nati could play in the water park. We all had a great time. I think the only time Nati wasn't too sure about it was when I sent her down a little slide. It had water on it so I think it went a little too fast for her. No worries, she forgot about it pretty fast! And she went down again!!

Nati and Nicole

We met Valeria, Ricardo and Nicole at Waterfront Park. It was SO HOT!! Nati wasn't too sure about playing in the water but she loved to play in the playground. We didn't stay long, Nati's cheeks got pretty red really fast!

Nati and the Scarf
