Wow!...Fish!

Saturday was a busy day. Hector worked on the house in the morning (We are putting new trim around the windows in the master bedroom) while I ran errands. Then we met up with our friendings Jason and Vanesa and their baby boy, Nicolas. We went to a Halloween event at the Air and Space museum. There were tons of kids proudly wearing their costumes. It was poring down rain which only added to the fun. Later that evening we went to barbeque at another friends house. Our friends have several fish tanks and Natalia discovered that the little fishies are fascinating.

The lights and the movements of the fish totally encompassed her attention. I think she would have been content watching the tank for hours if I would have had the patience to sit there that long. She was really cute watching the little Nemo swim around.

New Rug!

So we finally got a rug for our living room. We were able to get all of the big projects in our house done before Natalia was born. Now are just working on the finishing touches. It is nice have a rug because we can now let Natalia play in the floor in the living room. She loves hanging out on her tummy. She can even role from her back to her tummy as of this week.

She has become strong. She will be crawling before we know it. Then I will really have my hands full.

Volleyball Fans

Hector and Natalia have become quite the volleyball fans. They attend most of the games and enthusiastically watch from the bleachers. Hector has been going to the high school games since we have been married. This is my fifth season at West Springfield HS. The girls all know him and notice when he is not there. This is of course Natalia's first volleyball season, but she is already a fan. Granted, she does not fully comprehend that she is at a volleyball game, but there are so many lights and a constant flow of movement that she need not ask for more. I love coaching volleyball and I am so pleased that I have a husband and now a daughter who enjoy coming to my games. My team is doing very well. We are 11-3 at this point in the season. Hopefully we will continue to do well. I really love coaching my girls. I like seeing their confidence increase and I enjoy pushing them to accomplish tasks they did not realize they were capable of. I love sharing something I am passionate about with these amazing girls.

She Giggles

Natalia was a giggling machine tonight. We just finished reading in the scriptures about the good spirit enticing us to do good. Every time I would say the good spirit, Natalia would start giggling. It was so cute. We got a good ten minutes of giggling out of her. Both Hector and I were thoroughly entertained. She was cute before, but now she has taken it to a whole new level.

The Hoodie

Natalia is now four months old. It is hard to believe that she is that old already. Time really flies by. Before Natalia was in our lives, I was terrified of having a little baby around. Now I absolutely love spending time with my little girl. I am much less scared for a second baby (no I am not pregnant).

Natalia has been supper happy lately. I love how her big cheeks stick out when she smiles. She has also started making little noises. She also loves to play copycat, especially with her dad. Hector will make a funny face and Natalia does her best to copy him. It is really funny; mostly because she is not very good at it, but she tries so hard. She has such good control of her hands now. She loves to play with toys.

Some other funny things that the little lady does: For some reason, she is absolutely fascinated with me folding laundry. She is motionless the whole time I am folding and she stares intently. Hopefully she will find laundry this exciting when she is old enough to actually help.

She loves to stand up (with help from mom and dad of course). She locks her little legs and there is no bending them until she is ready.

I have decided that track jackets are my favorite outfit for her. She looks to cute in them. I love this hoodie, I think she looks so cute. This next picture is just to so funny. Every time I look at it, I just laugh. I am not sure why she looks so funny, but she sure does.
