11 Months
Dear Natalie,
This has been an incredible month. All of the sudden you have become so cuddly, huggy, and just darling. The giggles are adorable.
We started the Little Gym and you love it. You are meeting lots of new kids and learning new skills like somersaults, and hanging from the bar. No walking yet, but man are you a good crawler. You figured out how to go down the stairs face first. This was a very scary time since we were sure you would fall hard. But you didn't and finally learned how to go down the stairs, sofa, and bed backwards.
And speaking of things you are good at, eating. You eat everything - paella, pulled pork, spaghetti, pad thai, buffalo wings, fries, In N Out burger, fried rice, and pizza. Except blackberries and raspberries weirdly enough. You still love frozen yogurt, and ice cream. But the hit this month was picking tomatoes with Daddy. You absolutely love them!!
A few big firsts, like your first Airplane trip. You and I went to Palm Springs to visit Grandpa and Grandma. Both trips, you screamed bloody murder as the plane was taking off and then promptly crashed!! Such a good baby. The trip was so much fun- we finally made it to the Living Desert and saw the Meercats. It was really hot, but we went in the pool, and stayed relatively cool.
Also, Granddad and Alice came to visit from Indiana, and we had a blast. Picnics in the park, BBQ in the backyard. Granddad just loved holding you and singing the same songs he did when Aunt Amanda and I were little. Such memories!!
We introduced sorting blocks, puzzles, and books. These were all a hit. You try to read the books, but sometimes the books are upside down. The favorite right now is Brown Bear Brown Bear, What do you see? I like to read Alice in Wonderland to you. In a few years, I have a Halloween costume for you, but I'm not sure what you'll be this year. We'll be in Hawaii, so a surfer girl, a fish? You love the kittens, so maybe a cat.
I am not ready for the next month, you are almost 1 baby. And so not a baby any more.
We love you so much!!
Love, Mommy and Daddy
