Our Little Monster











Happy Halloween! I have some pictures of Natalie in her first attempted Halloween costume and in her final costume. While here, I thought I would give an update also.

I suddenly realized that I don't think I ever mentioned that Natalie has teeth! She has two teeth that have come through. Both of them are on the bottom front. The one on her left is actually sticking up quite a bit now. The one to the right has just barely come through. Since having her teeth, she loves to stick her tongue out just enough to feel them. It is too cute/funny.

Since the last blog update, Natalie had another first- her first ear infection. I took her to the doctor because she had a really bad cough/congestion. So I was really shocked to hear that she had an ear infection. Natalie had not really shown any signs of it except for maybe playing with her ear just a bit, but nothing that would signal pain/infection. So Natalie got to have her first round of "pink stuff". It has not been fun to do twice a day, so I am glad that we are almost through it.

Natalie now knows how to pull herself up to the standing position all by herself. She did it for the first time earlier this week and now that is what she loves to do. This gets a bit tiring for us because we are constantly having to spot her as she uses the coffee table, or anything else to pull up on.

That leads to the other thing that has further developed. Natalie can really have a temper. She now will suddenly scream/cry when you take something away from her that she wants, attempt to redirect her in a different location, or when she is embarrassed because she fell over. It can be cute at times, but other times it is kind of annoying.

To explain the pictures- my friend Angela gave us a Monsters Inc costume for Natalie. Unfortunately, she absolutely hated it! Thankfully a friend from school let us borrow another monster costume for Natalie. We were happy that she allowed us to keep it on her for some cute pictures and for some fun.

There will be another post in just a few days when our baby girl turns 10 months old!!!
