Earlier this week, Natalie played in a sandbox for the first time with her good friend, Dylan (on the right), and another little boy, Austin, that we had just met at the park. She seemed to enjoy it, mostly the interacting with Dylan and Austin. She didn't really pick up the sand and try to eat it as I expected but more played with the sandbox toys.
Now that Natalie is crawling everywhere, standing up and even trying to stand on her own, she's now exploring everything she can get her hands on. Her latest - the box of tupperware I bought.
When Emile gets home at night, he and Natalie spend time playing together. Her favorite is when he lifts her up over his head and then back down on the pillows.
We repainted the playroom in the colors of Natalie's bedroom -- lavender on most walls and cream in the window nook. We figure we'd use those colors because eventually when we have more children, this will become Natalie's bedroom. We also got her a new chair from Pottery Barn Kids (Anywhere Chair) that has her name embroider on it. She looks so cute in it. In addition, we got a toy organizer. I'm pretty happy with the choice -- it has canvas containers instead of the plastic ones I've seen on many. I like how the room is starting to come together. Later this summer, we're going to get her a table and chairs. I still need to put decorations on the wall.
Here's a photo of Natalie's adorable look when she's sitting up waiting for me to come get her in the morning.
For the last 3 or 4 weeks, Natalie will try to put something on her head when it falls off that she saw/felt us put it there. I finally caught it on video.
