Writing

Natali can write her name!! She needs a little help with which letter to write but she know how to write them! She is getting better - even today she knew that A comes after the N. :) She did this on Sunday I think it was. She gets so happy when she writes each letter!

Making faces

I love to have Natali make different faces and it's something she seems to like to do too! Here are a few from our "session" the other day. I'll tell her what kind of face to make and she'll come up with something!

Frown face

Silly face

Another funny face

Surprised face (Yes, she can still do the "o" face)

Smile Natali!

Grandma's visit

My grandma came to visit for a few days this past weekend from Wed night until Mon morning. We had a really great time - got to go to Pump It UP, ate out for lunch and dinner a couple times, and played at the park. We enjoyed our time and had 4 generations together!

We had a great time with the Bradfords who came over and brought ice cream sandwiches. Natali shower her cousin the train set and he decided it was good enough to eat!! :)

Catch up on birthday events Part 1

Birthday party at KidsView Park

We had a party with some friends and family last Sunday for Natali's birthday. It was at a local park and we had a pavillion rented. The weather wasn't exactly what I had wanted, but at least it wasn't raining. It was extremely windy!! We had to duct tape to tape down the table cloths and it was actually a bit chilly. But the kids didn't care about the wind when they were playing on the playground and us adults made it through also. :) We had a Thomas the Tank Engine themed party so I made train sugar cookies with the help of my sister and mom. Actually Natali helped me make the batter and they helped me decorate and cut them out. I also made a chocolate chip cookie "cake".

We had 3 other kids attend the party - 2 of which I got a picture of plus Natali. They were all moving around so fast at the playground, it was hard to get pictures! Overall I think the party was a success and Natali got some neat presents and some new clothes.

I will have more pictures/post at another time with our other birthday events.
