Day 53

Apparently pigs says moo in this household. 

Day 52

Last night I went to my competitors class for crossfit. My neighbor watched Natalie. I asked her to keep her up so I could put her to sleep. When I came through the door she ran to me and gave me a big hug. She then snuggles up with me! It was definitely her bed time. 

Day 51

On Thursday I went to a wine and paint night with my girl friends. Caleb watched Natalie. She got to play with her neighbor friend! Those two are adorable together. 

Day 50

I just want to have the best day of me lii-II-II-II-Fe! When this song came on today, Natalie sang the II II II parts! She loves to sing :) 

Day 49

Back to work. It was a fun mini-vacation, but it on Tuesday it was back to the grind. At night before bed, Natalie danced around - there was no music on - but it was obvious she was dancing. She has a song in her head!

Day 48

We drove home. Luckily, we hit no traffic.

But, we stopped to have lunch and it took 2 hours!!! It was very slow service. The good news, Natalie was a good baby and waited patiently- with the help of my husband- since I was too hungry to even think! 

Day 47

Today we visited Cal Poly's ag center. We got to see cows, horses, and pigs up close. When the cows would touch Natalie with their noses she would giggle hysterically. 

Day 46

We went to Natalie's first official mommy and me gymnastics class!!!!!! She was awesome, and I had a blast! Plus, it was at my old gymnastics center!! 

Day 45

It was a long car ride to SLO. But we stopped at our favorite place, Padaro Grill. It has a sand box and play area outside for kids, and the food is top notch! Natalie was adorable bouncing around and playing! 

Day 44

I wasn't supposed to see Natalie this night until she was already in bed! But I did! That means I got to snuggle and read her a story before bed time. 

Day 43

I love when she walks to me with open arms ready for a hug with a huge smile on her face. 

Day 42

It was just a good toddler day. She was happy in the morning. I worked out in the back yard with my neighbor and while we worked out she had a blast with the neighbor boy :D. She ate her chicken and Brussel sprout dinner. We had a giggle fest in the bath tub. And she snuggled with me the whole time while she drank her milk. It was just a lovely day! 

Day 41

Last night while we ate Natalie say on my husband's lap (she had already eaten). All of a sudden we see a hand fly to his plate - she stole Brussel sprouts!! Of all things :) pretty proud of my veggie eating baby!

Day 40

Natalie can now identify her belly, nose, hair, mouth, ears, feet, and fingers. And boy is it cute when she does it!! ❤

Day 39

Yesterday Natalie went to her first gymnastics birthday party! She had a blast!! She swung on the bars, played on the mats, and enjoyed being a toddler! I can't wait till March when I can sign her up for gymnastics classes!! 

Day 38

While I was eating my breakfast, I was having Natalie point out her nose, belly, and other body parts. I wanted to film it. Once the camera was on she wouldn't do it! Instead she ducked and hid, then popped up! I said, "Are you playing peek-a-boo?" She hid again and I said peek-a-boo! And she popped up with a BIG smile! I did get that on film! Mommy win!

Day 37

Apparently raspberries just under her throat equals major laugh attack from Natalie! 😂 

Day 36

Natalie now fits in her size five shoes. Which means her first tie shoes. She is obsessed with the laces! She actually leaves her shoes on. 

Day 35

After a bit over a week of pretty much eating yogurt and apple sauce, today she finally ate like herself! She had chicken tacos with avocado cheese and beans. Mmm. I think we are finally out of the teething baby phase for awhile! (Or so I hope)

Day 34

I stayed home sick. When Caleb brought Natalie home, she was so happy to see me! It was instant medicine! 

Day 33

We have survived! Today was a 100% normal day!! She was back to her cheerful self. She was a bit more tired than usual, but I am going to chalk that up to a week of not sleeping at all! 

Day 32

Another screaming day. Poor girl isn't doing well with this teething thing!

Day 31

Last night I left after coaching crossfit with a massive headache. My husband was amazing. He played with her, fed her, and bathed her. Even with my headache, I had fun listening to them play in the bath.
