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.
