Natalie seems to be growing and learning new things every minute.
She is much more confident going up and down stairs and doesn't always need to use the handrail.
She is saying more words that we can understand "alright, I need help, pretty,cheese, my bag, pillow, Where's Dada?, watch, shoes, all done, lap".
She raises her hand and says "me" when asked if she wants to do something.
Natalie and Lexi are definitely "feeding" off each other - either one of them can get the other excited. Natalie wants to do exactly what Lexi does - and lets you know it if you say no, she can't.
We also think Natalie is expressing an interest to use the potty. She is saying something that sounds like "potty" and when asked if she wants to sit on the potty, she nods yes. Of course, she hasn't done anything on the potty but she has sat on it several times.
While on vacation, we went in the pool almost every day. Natalie definitely loves the water and "jumps" (really steps into your arms) off the side. She and Lexi slept in the same bed while on vacation. That was a bit of a challenge. Natalie still moves around and sleeps sideways so she ended up poking Lexi with her feet several times.
Natalie loves to wash her hands - she gets upset if you don't let her if you are washing your own hands.

Lexi's Spring Concert
What's New?
Natalie takes pictures with this little toy camera that we have. She holds it up (in your direction), says "Cheese" and then says something like "pretty".
Natalie also knows that the word "two" comes after "one" though I don't think she is counting. But if I say "one", she then says "two".
Each day or so, it seems like Natalie is saying more and more words that we can understand. It's pretty exciting. She definitely says sentences: "I want more", "I no like", "Need help", "I like."
Other known words and phrases : Night-night, I'm fine, Bye-bye, Sisa (for sister) or LaLa for Lexi. We think she calls herself "Na-na". "I want down." Up, Mine. Ball.
She can tell you the sounds of the following animals: lion (Roar!), dog (woof-woof), cat (moow), cow (moo).
Natalie is definitely figuring out how to claim her space. She was riding in the stroller, got out to walk with Lexi and me and when Lexi said "I can ride now", Natalie promptly got back in the stroller. There are also squabbles over toys and places to sit.
Natalie also likes to put on the fancy dress shoes that Lexi plays with. She knows that she has to walk slow and reach out for things to hold onto.
