Natalie at 10 months old

Hmmmm...
Natalie
-is standing very easily while holding on to things (anything really, even slowly moving things).
-can cruise, but doesn't really.
-is waking up very early, 5:30 or 6:00 am usually. I'm not a big fan of this. This makes her morning nap pretty unpredictable. Sometimes she's just so tired I lay her down early (before 9:00); sometimes she's able to hold out until around 10:00. On school days, she often doesn't have a morning nap at all. We do not like this.
-usually takes two 30 minute naps per day. We don't like this either. :)
-goes down for the night between 7:00 and 7:30 pm. (Unless Loud Joanna wakes keeps her up -- like tonight) And don't tell me that if I lay her down later she'll sleep later. It doesn't work.
-really loves the outdoors (whose kid is this, anyway?)
-is an easy-going baby.
-will often entertain herself for a long time -- she just crawls around and finds things to investigate around here.
-doesn't much like riding in the car.
-wears 12 month clothes, mostly anyway.
-likes to sleep nice and warm.
-LOVES rolling all the toilet paper off the roll. Sometimes I let her do it just because of the immense joy she gets out of it.
-will follow Joanna anywhere and everywhere.
-sometimes only wants to feed herself, othertimes only wants to be fed. I have trouble keeping up. :)
-will eat pretty much anything I put in front of her.
-loves to clap.
-says and waves "hi" a lot.
-likes to dance.
-loves watching musicals. :)
-is wearing a size 3 diaper. I feel like it won't be too long before she's in 4's at night, though.
-sucks her thumb at night. In fact, she pretty much always rolls over to her tummy, turns her head to the right, and sticks her right thumb in her mouth after I lay her down to bed. I think she sucks her thumb all night long.
-rarely wears shoes, but finds them fascinating when she comes across them on her feet.
-gets tons and tons and tons of kisses everyday from so many people who love her!
