I love you!

Natalie is now saying "I love you" although it comes out more like "I lub boo". It is the most adorable thing ever. Combined with "nigh nigh" when we put her down for bed, it just melts your heart. I love hearing her say new words. She also tries to say our cats names, Ashley and Picus, although Picus comes out more like "ba ba" but she's definitely trying to say it. Other new words that she says include hot, help, and rain.

Natalie also now pretends to blow her nose and wipe herself with toilet paper. Of course, this means the toilet paper roll gets pretty unraveled.

Natalie likes to try to close the blinds. She watches me do it every night before she goes to bed and wants to imitate it:

She also likes to lay on blankets and pillows and pretend she's going to sleep:

She also loves to sit in a chair near her window and watch what's going on outside or read her books:

And of course, Papa has to get his little Viking fan ready for the season:

We got Natalie a stroller for her baby dolls. She loves it!

Today we spent time outside. The weather has cooled off a lot and it was great getting to explore outside without sweating a ton. She's such a little girl now compared to an infant. It's so adorable!

Natalie enjoys walking up with me to get the mail and then reading through it on our front stoop:
