I'm actually only 8 mo and 30 days, but my dad is in Boston tomorrow for my 9 mo birthday, so we're taking this picture early. I'm sure I'll look a little older tomorrow though.
Nana –
I feel so stylish in my trendy fall jacket. Thank you. I fit right in in Lincoln Park. I’m a city girl. You have great taste. Perfect for my 9 mo picture.
By the way, thanks for emailing my mom tonight. I’m on my 4th day of medicine, so I’m feeling better, but sometimes, it still hurts a little so I grab my ear. My daddy is gone in Boston for a couple days, so I’m going to try my best to sleep through the night for mommy. I’ve been waking up 1-2 times a night for nearly a week now… my mommy is afraid a bad habit has set in, but I think I’m up to the challenge of sleeping through the night. We’ll see. I cannot help it if my head or teeth hurt. I’m also teething LIKE CRAZY!!! There are four in a row on the top coming in. Mommy has been tickling my LIKE CRAZY so that she can see them. It started this morning during church, when she laid my back on her lap so that I could look up at the pretty ceiling. And, she’s done it like 4 times today. Mommies, you know?
Speaking of church, there was a guest priest today. He was from Africa. He gave me a blessing, and I reached out to touch his hand. It was so dark. I love people who look different from me. The other priest was Latino, so I was in for a treat either way. 9:30 church is SO MUCH more fun than 8 a.m. church. So many more people to meet!
I love you. I will see you in a couple weeks. Please give a hug to Pop for me too.
Love, Natalie
My daddy is so messy. Look at all this rice he dropped on my lap!
Oh goodness! I bet Im going to have to get used to Natalie dressing more trendy than her aunt!!! Shes soooo cute in that pic!!!
