I missed my 21 month update- oops!
Natalie once again amazes us by how much fun she is becoming and how every day is a wonderful adventure!
She had a long overdue well visit at the doctor. We found out that she is tall and thin for her age. She is healthy and doing great according to the doctor.
She is talking more and more and having her personality continue to grow as well. She is beginning to actually tell stories when she talks, which is only evident if you know the story before she tells it. For example, one morning she was eating waffles with daddy and a piece fell out of her mouth and Pumba ate it. Joel laughed and told me what happened. Then Natalie came to me and said, "Momma.. akdkahgaoeiwd waffle askjasldkjfe mouf adkajsj umba ..haahhaha" It was so cute and awesome that I knew what she was trying to communicate to me!
Natalie loves bossing Pumba around by telling him no and lots of other commands that we don't understand. Thankfully Pumba is willing to take it all.
She loves playing a running game where she goes to one side of the room and says "ready" then you say "ready, set, go!" and she runs into your arms. She will repeat this game at least 20 times.
Natalie now does flawlessly with drop offs at day care as long as her teacher, Alicia takes her directly from us. When Daddy takes her she even says hi to all of her friends as she comes in. Which hearing her say all of her friends' names is adorable too.
She loves wearing shirts or jewelry that she thinks is "prreeeetty" so she can go around telling you that it is "prreeeeetty".
Natalie now will at least attempt to repeat anything you ask her. Sometimes it is a very small attempt, but there are tons of words that she can say quite clearly.
We love how she says I Love You. It sounds more like "Whuhshew" but it still has the meaning and we love it.
I am attaching some pictures from my college homecoming today. She loved every minute of the parade. She especially loved seeing the horses- she told them hi, bye, and blew them kisses as they went by.
