8 Months

Eight month pictures, at long last!

Remember where we started?

















8 months
Notice that she does have the sign in her hand?  

Some other favorites from the month:



Not the best picture, but Natalie has a pretty full book shelf that she now crawls to,
 and selects a book to "read"

We spent a day at the Louisville Zoo

showing off her beautiful teeth!

This month, Natalie learned to stick out her tongue

and she learned to wave "hi" and "bye" and does so liberally

intently focusing on sticking out her tongue

so proud of herself for sitting on the couch, seconds before she tries to crawl off of it

this kid loves her blocks, and creating towers around the living room for her to knock over provides endless entertainment

calling this photo shoot a wrap

At the end of 8 months, Natalie is everywhere and into everything.  She continues to be a real momma's girl, but who can blame her (ha!)?  Nat cruises around every piece of furniture we own, and she loves to crawl to the patio doors and stand against them.  Yes, she can "pull" herself up against a wall now.  She is getting very brave, and lets go and can keep her balance for a few seconds at a time before sitting down.  She is also starting to lunge at us, and tries to take a step or two at the same time.  Walking is just around the corner!  

Last week, we had our first big family vacation, including a plane ride and a 3 hour time difference.  Stay tuned for pictures of the wonderful time we had....
