11 Months Old

Riding the carousal at the park
Being so sweet

The excitement continues, and we are as busy as ever! Natalie and I stayed with my parents for a week at the end of May while Matt was fishing in Hayward. And on our way home we stopped by for a very quick visit too. Natalie had so much fun playing with her cousins and all her other relatives. But her most favorite part of the visit was petting and torturing Kitty cat, Mickey! She got to go for her first boat ride, and enjoyed being on the water, but hated the lifejacket.
Natalie is becoming a very affectionate little girl. She loves giving hugs and kisses to her dolls, and any children that she can find! She's starting to understand simple commands, like "bring that to me", "wave bye-bye", "blow kisses", etc. It's amazing to me how much they can understand at such a young age. She's been eating grown up food really well now, she loves chicken noodle soup, spaghetti, cheerios, mostly all fruit, cheese, crackers and yogurt. In the past couple of days, she's also starting cutting some more teeth. 1 more on the bottom is popping through, and there are 4 on the top that will be through soon. She's been handling it like a champ!
Some of our family is planning to visit next month for Natalie's birthday so we're looking forward to the company.....I have a feeling this summer is going to go by way too fast!
