Halloween came and went without much excitement for us this year– we all three have colds! But I couldn’t resist dressing Natalie up in her costume for some pictures. She wasn’t too thrilled with the hat and was plotting her escape.
Natalie is 8 months old today! She crawls all over the place at full speed and pulls herself up on everything. She follows us all over the house. It’s nice to know that she can go wherever she wants but still wants to hang out with us. 🙂
New haircut! Should have done this ages ago.
You be the judge! Natalie is right on the verge of crawling, and it’s very exciting, both for her and for us.
We’re having a good October, and are enjoying the cooler weather. Work continues as ever, and Mollie is having fun as the new Hospitality Coordinator for MOPS at our church every other Wednesday.
I think this is my new Favorite Picture Ever:
It features Natalie’s new hairstyle, and her newest “camera face”. She’s becoming quite the ham. Aren’t you just loving the pigtails?!
Her latest tricks are:
Holding herself up on hands and knees… she still needs help getting to this position, but can hold it really well.
and
Sitting up on her own!
Another favorite picture of mine:
Here’s a link to my September photo gallery if you want more. Andy and I even made it into a few pictures!
Natalie is nearly 6 months old already! She can almost sit up on her own, and her first tooth has popped through! Here are some pictures from the past few weeks.
As usual, she is cheerful and excited about life 99% of the time. Here she is excited about her new headband (I wish you could hear the sound effects).
She is getting very active, rolling all over the place, but still likes to cuddle with her mama:
She had her first trip to the Ventura County Fair, where she met a goat and tried very hard to eat Mike’s nachos:
She can’t eat nachos yet, but she enjoys her cereal and drinking from our cups.
Last week Natalie got to meet her cousins Lily (5) and Mia (2). They are the daughters of my sister Katie. She loved watching them, and they were so sweet playing with her. The girls are wearing coordinating outfits from my mom.
As for Andy and I, we haven’t been doing much of anything lately because we both have had a really bad cold. Hopefully we will be better soon and able to go back to normal life!
