The Kendall Memoirs: Five months!

September 21st

Here is the much anticipated five month update! Natalie Grace is such a big girl! She still loves talking and squealing. She loves bouncing in her horsey (and then bouncing everywhere else thinking she's still in it). She is continuing to practice grabbing things and getting better at using her thumbs. Now that she has tried cereal, it probably won't be too long before we move on to more exciting foods! Natalie loves going on walks in her stroller. Now that she doesn't have to sit in the car seat for stroller rides, she realizes how much fun it is! We try to go out nightly, but her bedtime routine starts at 7 so some nights we are too busy. So far she hasn't shown much interest in crawling. But hey, who needs to crawl when you have mommy and daddy at your beck and call?

Thanks to her daddy and his determination, Natalie is getting great at sitting up on her own. The thing that has made working easiest on me is knowing that Natalie gets to spend so much quality time with her daddy. We are so lucky to have such a good daddy and husband! Nathan picks her up 4/5 days and gets to have daddy/daughter time at the house with her- sometimes for hours before I get home. It is amazing to see the two of them interact, and I love their special relationship!

Last but certainly not least, Natalie said "mama"! She's only made the sound about 3 times, but it's wonderful to hear. I know she doesn't know what she's saying and at this age it's just considered babbling, but I still love it!
