14 Months 10/9/12

Natalie turned 14 months this past week on my dad's 75th birthday.  She is moving with leaps and bounds.  Not walking as of yet, but she is pretty darn close.  She cruises around on her bike and crawls like crazy.  If you don't watch her closely she will speed into the next room.  She is making a lot of different sounds too.   

A couple of weekends ago we visited a pumpkin patch.  Her Great Aunt Beverly knitted her this beautiful hat.  It worked perfectly with the pumpkins.  She looks so pretty.

They had little wagons that we pulled her around in.  We got an adult sized pumpkin and a Natalie sized pumpkin for her.  She doesn't look too happy in this photo.  I think she was tired and pretty much done with this expedition.

Here she is hanging out with Trey at day care.  She loves Trey, who is our day care provider's son.  She is watching the computer with him.

She and Rocky like hanging out on the floor. 


2 weekends ago, Grammy and Grandpy Rancourt were camping in Hampton.  They came to Dover to walk down to Apple Harvest Day.  They had some animals that we checked out.  

She was a little weary of the animals because they were really friendly. 

Last weekend, Chris had his last disc golf tournament. He had to leave early so Grammy and Grandpy Rancourt came up for the weekend.  We were eating dinner at their camper on Thursday night.  She was walking around and was walking on her pants.  So my mom pulled them up to her stomach.  Had to take a photo of that one. 
Love that look. 

Then dad hiked them up even higher.  Can't wait to embarass her when she is is a annoying teenager.

Here's another embarrassing photo for later on.  Usually in the mornings her hair is not up.  It is getting so long right now.  This was the closest thing to us so we used it.  She is soo darn cute. 

Here's Rocky and her hanging out on the floor reading books.  She loves looking at books.

The Kiwi Magazine came out to the newstands.  Chris took a picture of the article of the America's Cutest Green Baby contest.  The 2 others that one were not even on my radar when we were voting.  This was the Grand Prize winner.

Natalie ended up being the First Prize Winner.  I thought she was 2nd.  We got $350 and some bath supplies.  What an awesome thing to show her later.  We are in the process of trying to get a few more copies for family. 

A few weeks ago we went to the Rochester Fair.  They had a lot of animals.  Here is a gigantic cow that Natalie checked out. 
They also had a school bus demolition derby.  Amazingly, this picture was taken before the derby even started.  It was pretty fun to watch. 
 A new Buffalo Wild Wings opened in Rochester and the first 100 customers in the door got free wings for a year.  Chris and his friend Travis decided that they wanted to do it.  Well, they camped out over night and were woken up every hour so that the restaurant made sure they didn't get out of line.  They ended up winning.  They are pretty yummy.

Double rainbow that Chris saw on 95 south.


Every morning after she has her bottle she turns herself over and pulls herself up to standing so that she can look out the window.  She loves looking out the window at everything that is going by. 
Rocky loves hanging out on the deck.  It is sad that it is getting cold out and he won't be able to be on the deck much longer.  His favorite place now is in my closet.  He sleeps most of his 23 hours of the day there. 

Natalie got her first flu shot on Saturday.  She did her usual pouty face and then screamed.  She was done screaming about the time we got her prize and we were back out in the waiting room.  She has her 15 month appt next month. 

We are all doing really well.  See you all next month.
