Our sweet Nanni Girl, we love her so much!
Before she was born, we asked Ryan (about 15 or 16 months old at the time) what he thought about the name Natalie for his sister, and he smiled big and said, "Nah-ni" ...and that's what we've called her ever since. :)
This past month has been so fun for all of us- her little personality is coming through more and more each day, and she's trying harder and harder to sit up all the way and pull her little knees under when she's on her belly. She has two bottom teeth that always show when she smiles her big smile, and she's eating (and swallowing!) more food. We used to laugh at how she pushed everything out with her tongue and gave you a look like, "WHAT are you putting in my mouth?!" ...but now she has seemed to figure out that everything we put in her mouth has a taste and even gets excited when we put her in her seat to eat.
Just like her brother did, she'll eat just about anything. I'm not really shying away from any foods and usually give her a little bit of whatever we're eating plus a few baby foods that are pureed since she is better at ingesting food that way for now. I love seeing her reach for whatever we're eating and trying to eat like we do!
When she gets excited, she kicks her legs and swats her hands and arms up and down with a big grin on her face. She does this whenever Tally comes close by, when we get her from her crib, or when any one of her family members talk to her. She is such a sweat pea!
She loves her feet, her fingers, her paci, and girlfriend LOVES her sleep. She rarely fusses when you lay her down, and occasional kicks her legs out when she sees her crib, as if she's giddy about nap/bed time. Bless her!

Costco- Ryan was actually really excited to sit in the cart with Nanni, haha- and sweet Natalie always quick with a smile and a foot grab!
...Since I've been so behind on blogging, she's actually 7.5 months already and has changed SO much in two short weeks! She's rocking back and forth in a crawl position and sits up tall and is so proud that she can. Can't wait to see what these next two weeks bring! (And hope I'll actually get to her 8 month post done on time now that we're semi-settled in our new home!)
My sister's name is Natalie and we have always called her Nannie or Nannie Boo - love the nickname!
ReplyDeleteShe is so expressive! It's adorable!
