– Eating the bread herself, rather than feeding it to the ducks.
– Shaking her little arms when she sees the park approaching
– Sleeping on her side in an “L” shape (instead of on her back) and cuddling up to her mousy blanket.
– Laughing longer and louder – and showing her top 4 teeth when she does it
Grandpa and Natalie also rolled the ball back and forth a lot.
She is learning to color – which I first noticed b/c she was holding a purple crayon and now we have a “painting” next to the diaper changing table. This happened to both my Dad and me!

See the purple crayon to the right of the Grinch's dog, who she also peeled off? As you can tell, she clearly finds diaper changing a little boring! I wonder what she has in store for us next.
Finally, I loved this – Grandpa was reading Natalie a book, and he didn’t realize it was a “lift the flap” book until Natalie reached for the flap to turn it up.
Natalie is a lucky little girl to have four grandparents who have been able to spend a lot of time with her. In fact, Grandma and Grandpa are coming tonight – Grandma wanted to spend her birthday with Natalie!
