She loves to walk along with her ride-on and walker toys. She will let go and stand there...put a foot forward...I grab my camera...then she moves the foot back and grins at me like, "gotcha again!" Our little stinker!
If she doesn't want to put a toy down to crawl around, so she will put it in her mouth and crawl around with it there. It looks SO FUNNY - especially when she has one of the 'little people' in her mouth and she's crawling around - or over - the little people houses - she looks like King Kong terrorizing a village!
She loves 'pat-a-cake' and 'itsy bitsy spider' and will do her fingers together and put her arms in the air like the spider is crawling up the spout - then she claps and grins and waits for us to clap and say 'yay!' because of course she KNOWS we will clap at anything she does!
I am having so much fun playing dress-up with her. No...not costumes yet...just her clothes, but with hair bands or hats and cute socks and matching bibs. She looks like a little diva everytime we leave the house! I was a tom-boy so I am fully anticipating the day when she decides she won't wear dresses anymore, but until then, game on!
I've been playing on picnik.com some more, collages are my new favorite. I'll include some. I am also updating her 'watch me grow' slide show with this and last months's giraffe pics. Only two more of those sessions to go and I think we are both ready for this tradition to be over! I have some great pics from these sessions though, and I think the weekly sessions in her 1st six months taught her how to smile for the camera...all I have to do is pick it up and she starts posing now!
I have started to plan her first birthday party. Man...time does fly!
Here are some collages from the Gulf Shores trip in February:


And I LOVE this pic I tweaked in picnik. It was dark and bland...

Natalie's first snow and how she reacted - she was fascinated and kept pointing out the window and 'talking' to us. It was so cute!


King Kong Natalie terrorizing the playroom!

OK one more - just a typical day in the playroom with our happy, busy superham!
