A New Baby (Not Ours!!)

Tio David, Tia Karina and Paulina have a new baby in their family. Alisa Sofia was born on Tuesday, October 23 around 2pm. She was 7 lbs 14 oz and 19 inches long. Mom and daughter are doing great.

We are looking forward to meeting our new Goddaughter and I am sure Nati will just LOVE having a new baby cousin.

A Day at Bardstown

We went to Bardstown on Sunday to visit. We first went to see Pappaw and Mammaw Patty. We played outside for a while and found some flowers, tomatoes and poisonous berries!

We then went to see Mammaw Lucy, Erika and Travis. Nati had a great time jumping on the trampoline. The trampoline hadn't been used in a while so it was a bit dirty. We took her white sweater and her shoes off when we realized how dirty she was getting. We probably should have done the same with the jeans!



After a while of jumping, she just wanted to lay down!Nati before getting in the bath tub.

Lots of Nati

Their favorite song to play together is "Old McDonald Had a Farm", especially when Nati screams out "VACA" and "MOOOO".

Ella's 2nd Bday

Yesterday we went to E-town for Ella's birthday party. Natalie had a great time. She hadn't seen Ella and Stella for a while. I think she was pretty exited. She practiced saying their names before we got there. She even got to meet new baby Anna (Ella's new baby sister). She didn't pay too much attention to her though, there we too many toys and too much cake!!

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.
