Natalie is growing so quickly, we can hardly keep up with her! One of the greatest things about her growing up though is the connection she increasingly shares with Harrison. They are a dynamic duo! He makes her laugh so hard and she always wants to know exactly where he is. For his part, he is very protective and loves to make her feel better or show her how to play with his old toys. Sometimes this makes him kinda bossy. The other day, Amy was holding Natalie and said "ouch" when she pulled a little hard on her necklace. Harrison turned around and scolded: "Mommy, she is fine. She is a baby. Babies grab things!" He is very quick to order us to go comfort Natalie whenever she so much as squeaks. We love how much they love each other and can already tell that they will have a very special relationship.
Harrison is thriving in his new primary classroom. He picks up on things so quickly and loves his new teachers and friends. He is starting to recognize and pronounce letters now, which has been really cool to see. Still loves reading and trains and is just starting to enjoy playing with legos. Basically, anything he can organize and line up is very popular right now. He is extremely particular about everything! We have no idea where he picked that up.
Natalie is eating lots of solid food now--she particularly enjoys mango! And she is officially sitting up. She would still prefer to roll around, but she is increasingly sitting without support and bracing herself when she tips over. We are still waiting on a tooth for Natalie; we keep saying any day now.
We are enjoying the fall and so far, everyone has been healthy (fingers crossed). Enjoy the new flickr pictures!
