13 months (just a little late)

I can't believe the summer is half-way over! We are enjoying our summer so much I haven't been on the computer that much. Nataleigh surprises us everyday with how much she is growing up! I can't believe she is 13 months old! She's walking like crazy and is super, super independent! We really have to watch her close because she's so quick. She ventured over to the stairs for a split second and was on the bottom step and fell backward, hitting her head. She was fine but it sure scared us :) She loves to be outside and loves to be in the water. She's talking ALOT some of her words are:
momma, dadda, baby, belly button, glasses, bird, ball, pretty (calls flowers pretties), what's that? boo, big bird, book, broccoli, nonna, papa, bye-bye, hi, duck, brush, strawberry, cheese, drink, please, all done, lala (Leah) sometimes will sound like she is saying Leah, balloon, dog (is duh, duh) Pooh (sometimes she repeats us and it's so clear it cracks us up! ("oh man", that's silly")
She's also making the sounds for sheep, boat, monkey and cow
We are enjoying her so much and so, so thankful that God gave her to us! Here are a few pictures and videos:

walking around with my purse...she loved it when i put it on her :) such a girl :)

after our trip to the West Side Market...the outcome of our labor :) Rainbow trout, asparagus and rice


our friend Leah is here for the month of July and we are enjoying her visit so much...and Nataleigh thinks she's the ticket! :) She will bring books to Leah and want to crawl into Leah's lap for story time :)
she was having fun yesterday with my purse...she was so tired though (we think she was recooperating from the weekend) she would just lay down on the floor :)
