Holiday Crafts

Today Natalie and I did two little holiday crafts. We made our annual paper chain countdown (much smaller this year due to my tardiness) and a Santa craft with cotton balls. The Santa is very Picasso-like and did not hold her attention for long. The paper chain was more of a hit because she loved shaking it.

Another Photo

9 Months

Wow, I can't believe our girl is nine months old today!! It seems there are "milestones" every day, and it seems Natalie is even cuter, more joyous and melts my heart easier than ever each and every day. Natalie is crawling very adeptly now, with just a few roadblocks here and there. She is learning the laws of physics hands-on. For instance, Natalie was holding a toy in one hand while sitting on the floor, but did not want to let go of it while crawling, so she found that it's not so easy to crawl with just one arm, and rolled to the floor like a little gymnast. I was lucky enough to get it on videotape.

She is now eating meats (in baby food-form) as well. Cutest little carnivore ever! I really don't think it will be long before she's walking, as she took to crawling so fast. It's bittersweet to see her develop these skills so quickly, as on the one hand, it's extremely exciting and pride-inducing, but on the other hand, I want to savor these moments and it almost feels like they are going by too quickly to absorb the magnitude of the living miracle that she is.

Speaking of growing quickly, here is the "Growing" shot, an "outtake" and a couple of other recent photos that are just cute.

Thank you again Uncle Jason

Uncle Jason, you are spoiling me with these gifts! I love the hat! I even turned it around myself in the first photo- you can see my expression of "did I just do that??!!"
