11 Months

Our sweetest little Natalie is 11 months old. Time is going by too fast with this little one and she's growing and developing right along with it! Natalie is a busy little body, into everything that she can find now that she is an excellent crawler. She loves to pull herself up to standing wherever she goes and we have to keep a constant eye on her. We've hit a new milestone with her- she's sleeping through the night and taking consistent naps every day! This is such a huge positive change for me! We finally did some sleep training with her and moved her out of our room into Heidi's room. Heidi is sleeping in the guest room for now, but soon we'll move her back in with Natalie (something Heidi has been looking forward to ever since she found out she was getting a baby sister!). Natalie has also started eating a lot more solids, despite still having only two teeth. She mostly just eats tiny pieces of whatever I'm eating- she loves oatmeal with raspberries, avocado on toast, rice, veggies, chicken. Really, she's happy to eat whatever everyone in the family is eating. I'm guessing that the reason she was refusing to eat any puree about a month ago was because she just wanted to eat with everyone else.  She is a happy little girl that adds joy wherever she goes. Here are the photos I got of her:

And some photos Austin got of her doing her favorite activity: pulling things out of a basket :)
I've found this is a great way to entertain her while I'm trying to do laundry- just let her throw all the clothes out of the basket until I have a chance to get to them and hang or fold them up.
