[almost walking]

our *almost* precious one year old is so close to walking! take a look...

[baby mozart]

After hours of waiting in line, Apple came through. The ipad2 was in stock--well--not really. They were technically all sold out again by the time the stores actually opened at 9am. But that's why we, and by we I mean Peter, got there at 6am.

And it paid off. Welcome home ipad2. Welcome home.

Of course, Natalie wasted no time getting her little hands on this bright new toy. She's one for gadgets.

And she's got a pretty neat daddy who downloaded some terrific baby apps for her.

App #1, "Baby Piano."

As you will see....we have the next budding Mozart on our hands. =)

[happy baby]

Peter and I continually thank God for our "happy baby." She is indeed, one happy baby.

I'm convinced around 5-5:30pm is her happy hour. The time where she lets loose, giggles like crazy, and if she could, she'd dance til' her little heart overflow-ith with laughter.

The other night, Pete caught another one of her episodes. And this required absolutely no editing...it speaks for itself.

[mirror, mirror]

It's hard to believe, but the facts don't lie. Natalie is now seven, yes, seven months old.

My gut tells me she's going to be mobile in no time, no time at all. Already able to sit up, lean forward, and stand holding something about her height unassisted tells me we have a little one who desires to move. And only time will tell.

The past few weeks, we've been working on getting Alie to sit up all by herself, which she now does effortlessly. I caught her a few weeks back, trying to catch a glimpse of the cute baby she saw in the mirror on her toy. little does she know...

thought family would enjoy this one. so here you go.
