Miss Independent and Mr. Lovey Dovey

Natalie stole one of Noah's balls and she was playing with it. Noah wasn't too happy about that.


Natalie wants to play outside!


My sweet boy!
Playing with the monitor. Crazy girl.

I've decided that Noah and Natalie might just be opposites. When Noah was born he had really bad colic. He cried a lot and he had to be held all of the time. He will be three in a few weeks and he still loves to be held. When we put him in our laps he'll play with our faces in a loving way. He loves to give bear, bee, and cat hugs, making the noises as he hugs you. You have to give him a kiss and an Eskimo kiss too, or you can't leave the house. He's content laying on the couch in the evenings and cuddling with me. On weekend mornings he loves to get in bed with us and fall back asleep. He'll cuddle right up against us. He's my lovey dovey.

Natalie is so different! She's trying to learn to walk and she's Miss Independent! She wants to be down on the floor and into something at all times. She really doesn't prefer to just be held unless she wants to be rocked to sleep. She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth. I've lost her several times and I'll find her in places such as the pantry and Noah's closet. She LOVES my shoes. She goes into my closet, pulls up on the shelf, and walks the shelves until she's pulled down all of my shoes. She wants to eat our food and she prefers to hold her own spoon.
She is definitely my Miss Independent!
