Natalie's First Trip to Disneyland

We decided to take a quick trip to Disneyland for their Halloween time celebration with my parents. Natalie had an amazing time looking at everything, meeting the characters and dancing at every opportunity she had. She didn't really like the rides, but enjoyed looking at everything around her while she was on them.
We can't wait to bring her back!

Hawaii

We were lucky enough to be able to take a week long family vacation to Maui earlier this month. We enjoyed hanging out at the resort pool and the beach as a family. Natalie wasn't too fond of the sand, but was happy playing on her beach towel. We can't wait to take more family vacations!

Sea Life Aquarium

Natalie and I visited the Sea Life Aquarium at Arizona Mills Mall with Ashley, Colten, Trish, Kylee and Megan.

Natalie LOVED talking to all of the fish!

 

Walking!

Natalie has a mail cart that she LOVES to walk around with! It is pretty amazing how good she is. I'm sure she'll be walking on her own in no time.

 

 

Natalie & Noodle

Natalie just started to play with Noodle. He isn't too sure about it yet, but I'm sure he will love it soon!

 

Little Gym

Every other week, Natalie and I head to Gilbert to go to the Little Gym for the "bugs" class (4-10 month olds). It is amazing all of the things they do!

On the bar; The bells are her favorite part!

Balancing with a hula hoop; Cousin Colten came to class with us!

More standing; Hanging out on the bars

 

Bubbles!

Swim Lessons

The Prescott YMCA has swim lessons for kids 6 months and up, so we started Natalie as soon as we could! She goes every Saturday and LOVES it!!

Milestones

I know I say this all the time, but I can't believe how quickly Natalie is growing up!!

She is getting better sitting every day...

She rolls from front to back and back to front now...

Starting to play with toys... 

 Learning to stand and walk!

Pretty soon she will be all over the place!



Happy Fourth of July!

We had a laid back fourth of July this year (Tim had to work most of the day).

My parents stopped by on their way home from Vegas and we had a nice BBQ dinner that Tim prepared.

Afterwards, we watched the fireworks from our deck.

It was perfect!

 

Laughter

Natalie is ticklish now and I LOVE it! Anytime I'm having a rough day, her laughter changes my mood. Hope it can make you smile too!

Father's Day

Tim's first Father's Day was a very laid back one. All Tim asked for was a nap (which he took with Nattie!) but he also got a new grill for the Yukon.

Tim is such an amazing dad!

First "Solid" Food

The pediatrician said we could start Nattie on solids, so tonight, we attempted some VERY watered down rice cereal.

She sat in her high chair and wasn't too sure what to think! She would suck it all off of my finger if I used that to feed her and would lick it off of the spoon.

We can't believe she is growing up so fast.
