So amazing...

It's so amazing to watch Natalie grow and learn every day. Her use of complex sentences seems to have come out of nowhere. She is stringing 4, 5 and 6 words together at a time now. Clearly, and appropriate to the situation or context.

For example- last night I was holding her on my lap while we watched Barney on T.V. She was getting sleepy and turned around to crawl up onto my shoulder. I hugged her tight and turned Barney off (thinking Nat was going to go to sleep). She turned around quickly and said clear as day: "Why'd you do that, Daddy?" I couldn't help but to laugh, and I answered her by saying "I thought you were going to go to sleep!". She said "what?"...I repeated myself. She said "what?" again, and I laughed- this time, she laughed with me.

I love not only the brightness of her spirit and mind, but I love her sense of humor as well. I just plain love this girl!!
