Natali's "pig face"

Yes, she loves to do this face when she gets excited about something. I don't know what got her started on it though.

Natali is so good at crawling now! She is so cute - when Josh or I come home, she crawls over to us! She also has learned how to go to sitting from laying down. I came in to her after she woke up from a nap one day, and she was sitting up in her crib. :) She really doesn't show much interest still in pulling up or standing. We are okay with this.

Natali also has learned how to turn pages in a book. Mostly she tries to close the book, but if you give her a page, she will turn in right away. Also, Natali is mimiking (sp?) us and others when we cough, make a little screaming noise "Ahh!", and the pig face. It is really fun with her now - she also is getting worse about us changing her - she keeps wanting to turn over. Eventually you can get the job done though.

We are all doing well. Enjoying the fireplace as I write. Natali is sleeping and it's bedtime.

"snow"

So we don't really get snow here in Texas like snow is in other parts of the US, but we did get some white stuff on Friday. It snowed for about an hour and a half I guess and of course none stuck to the ground. Natali was sleeping when it started but she woke up before it was over. So I HAD to take her outside in it. :) We got this really thick cover-up thing from Christian and Jenny so this was the perfect time to use it. I laid it on the floor, put her in it, then zipped it up. Her arms were straight out and she wouldn't move! She started to laugh and still didn't move for a couple minutes. It was so funny! I guess it was stiff feeling to her or something but I had to capture this moment.

Then we went outside and I think she noticed the snow. I went inside and got her chair and put Natali in it outside. The snow would fall on her eyelashes and she would blink and kind of jump. :) Here are a couple pics of Natali in the "snow". Actually you really can't see the snow at all but it really was cold and there really was snow! And I finally got a picture of her front teeth, so you will notice that in one of the pics. It is hard to see though. Oh well.

Fun pics

This is one of my favorite outfits. :)
This is a commonly seen Natali. Crawlin, crawlin, crawlin.

Announcement

No, we are not pregnant. :) But yes, little Natali crawled a little this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She moved both hands forward with the knees and then did it again. I know it's now much, but it is a start!! She looked so cute doing it. I may not be saying that when I can't catch her, but it is cute for now. Horray for Natali! Also, I think maybe she is working on a top tooth, but it is so hard to tell until the teeth are peeking through the gums. I thought maybe I saw a little bit of white under the gums last night. So, we will keep you updated on the teeth. Happy weekend to everyone!
