Natalie at 18 Months

Natalie is officially 18 months and is just a few days shy of 8 months hearing. Every week, she adds so many new things to her list and she is learning and catching on fast.

New this week:

1. When we say "touchdown" she will put both her hands in the air. 

2. A favorite book of hers "Tubby Time" has a page where the little boy has water poured over his eyes and whenever Natalie turns to that page, she always says, "ow" just like in the book.

3. Today when daddy came home, she said "hi" and waved at him. (this isn't totally new, but we haven't hear hi spontaneously very much.

4. When we sing "row, row, row your boat" --- when we get to the part where we say, "if you see an alligator don't forget to scream" ... Natalie will put her hands on her face and scream. She even says "ro" when asking for this song.

5. She is identifying many songs. When we start to sing a song, she can appropriately do different actions, signaling that she is understanding and hearing what we are saying.

* Next post hopefully more videos. In the meantime, enjoy her pictures we had taken this summer. 

We all love our Natalie!
