75% to 365 days old!!!

Oh Yeah...9 Months Old am I! 

I have been very busy in my 9th month.  Clive has really enjoying the fact that I can play with him more.  I like to play with his toys and most of the time he is ok with it.  If not, he often trades with me and gives me something else to play with.  I really love spending time with my big brother.  He is so good to me and always makes me laugh!

So lately I have mastered the art of swiveling.  You can see in my picture how I can swivel and look around.  I haven't started crawling yet, but I'm working on it!

When I'm not working on trying to move, I jump around in my Jumperoo!  I love to bounce!

I also LOVE to clap!  When Mommy says YAY, I clap!   There must be a lot to celebrate because she always says YAY!

One of the coolest things is that I can hold my own bottle!  If Mommy holds it for me, well, you know..I'll let her!  But now, she can finish getting ready while I drink my milk.  She said having 10 whole minutes more is UNBELIEVABLE.  See?  I'm good like that!














Making sounds is a lot of fun....contrary to my big brother, I am content making sounds.  I love to make clicking sounds with my tongue.  Clivey thinks that's silly!

When Daddy leaves for work, I wave hello or good-bye.  Sometimes you may mistake it for me asking for milk, but I'm really saying bye-bye. 

Mommy and Clivey's favorite thing is that I love to give big, wet, open-mouth kisses. They love it and laugh and keep saying, "Again, Again!"

Ta-Ta for now!  Stay tuned for Clivey turning the BIG 3!!!

Love,
Natalie

The Easter Bunny Came!

We are getting ready for Easter because Mommy said the Easter bunny is coming!

So first, we need to decorate eggs.  One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast is hard-boiled eggs.  YUMMY!  Mommy said we will get to make deviled eggs for Easter.  Those are so good!

THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!  Look what he brought us!

 

We went to Cooper and Sawyer's house.  We had brunch at their house (French toast casserole was DEEEELicious!).  After we ate, we went on an Easter egg hunt.  The Easter bunny left eggs at Cooper and Sawyer's house too!

Daddy and Mommy let me try my first Peep!  It was pretty yummy.  The purple one was pretty good.

We spent the rest of the day relaxing and enjoying all of the fun things the Easter Bunny left us.

 What a Happy Easter it was! 

Love,
Clive & Natalie

Two, Four, Six, EIGHT MONTHS!!!!

That's right!  I am EIGHT months old!  Time really truly flies.  This months is all about TEETHING!  If I can lift it and put it in my mouth, I'm going to chew on it!  So far, my two bottom teeth and my two top teeth are making their way in.  I haven't been too fussy as long as I have some chewy toys. 

    

 

Clivey is teaching me lots of words.  Today, he was teaching me how to say all of my body parts.  He was showing me my "head."  I couldn't say it, but he was making me laugh as he was trying to teach me.  What a good big brother he is!

We went on my first trip to the park so I could SWING!  I loved it!  I loved kicking my feet while I was in the swing.  It was a little chilly, but I loved getting some fresh air and watching all of the friends at the park.  I can't wait to have fun this summer with Clive at our neighborhood park!

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Nose....Yummy!  Clive and I both had love teething on Daddy's nose!  So silly!

Clivey loves to make a mountain of pillows in the living room.  So, Mommy put me right in the middle of the mountain.  It was the best idea yet!  YAY!

My hair is really starting to get thicker and grow out longer...Mommy tried putting in my first clip to hold some of my hair back.  Not too shabby, eh?  I think I clean up pretty nicely if I do say so myself!

I love going to school!  I am really starting to have fun with my new friends. 

I was going to visit Mommy at work to meet her friends from Crabtree & Evelyn.  We thought a tutu was the perfect outfit to make a proper introduction!

Like I said, if I can lift it and fit in my mouth, it IS a chewy toy! 

I love snuggling with Daddy!

Happy 8th Month to me!!!


Love, Natalie

Happy Birthday to Daddy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!  We love you!!!

We had a great day planned for Daddy.  We brought him balloons and Nonnie brough cupcakes to celebrate.

I asked Mommy to take me to Walgreen's to get Daddy a present.  I gave Daddy sunscreen.  We will get to go swimming soon, so we need lots of sunscreen.

We hung decorations to really make it a party!

Daddy isn't big on celebrations, but I think he was pretty happy to celebrate it with us.  Plus, this was his first birthday with Natalie!  She gave him lots of big smiles!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Love,
Clive & Natalie

My SEVENTH Month....Sitting Pretty!

January 29th marks my 7th month! 

I am really starting to recognize the world around me.  If I can reach it, I will try to grab it!  Mommy says that I'm getting really fast at it too!  So far, I have knocked over a day's worth of formula (whoops!), Mommy's morning coffee and Clive's breakfast.  What can I say?  Maybe you shouldn't let me sit on the counter and  hang out anymore. 

I love my big brother.  Everything he does, makes me laugh!  Mommy caught this video of Clive making me laugh so much.

My hair is starting to grow in a bit more too!  Check out a few photos of my pretty locks.  Mommy said that she will look for some new hair clips for me.  I think I have just enough to hold my hair!

I am enjoying school.  My teachers Christina and Caitlyn take good care of me.  My sleeping schedule is a little out of whack, but Mommy is working very hard to get my schedule back on track. Mommy always looks out for me!

 

I enjoy playing with my toys and if I can bang something I love it!  I also love to shake anything to see if it makes a fun noise.  Mommy has shown me a mirror and I love to look at this adorable friend on the other side.  She is so cute and always smiling at me!  It makes me so excited that bounce up and down!

 

Sleepy Face

SCHOOL DAYS...A few photos of me before we leave for school.  I am actually NOT wearing jammies!

I am starting to sprout two teeth!  If you notice my rosy cheeks, that is a sign that I am teething.  So far, I haven't been too cranky.  Just a little here and there.   As long as I have something to chew on, I am good!














That's all for now!  I look forward to sharing more about MY ADVENTURES with you soon!

Love, Natalie
