8 months old
"Eight months old. Wow, time flies. So over the past month, I've been very busy. I still love going to school and love my teachers. I have lots of friends at school but I am the only baby (minus the new girl) who isn't crawling yet. It's not really a big deal except sometimes when mom, dad or the teachers put me down on the floor near my friends but then they all decide to go somewhere else and play with another toy...then I'm left all by myself and I don't like this. And it takes me a while to fall over and then roll over to them. By that time, they've all crawled back to where we all were originally. Mom says that maybe this will help motivate me to crawl but I don't know. I'm just not so sure about it.
I still love to eat. My favorite food other than a bottle is prunes with apples and oatmeal. I eat it every morning for breakfast because it is so delicious! Sometimes mom says I smack my lips and make sounds like 'mmmmmm mmmmm' but I just can't help myself. I recently started eating puffs, which are like Cheerios for babies. They dissolve in my mouth (or my slobber covered hands) but I still have to chew on them a bit. When mom or dad put them on my tray, I like to try to grab them all as fast as I can and then hold them in my hands and hope they give me more. Hehe. Sometimes I lean over the side of my highchair and feed them to Gus. Mom always seems to catch me doing this and tell me no. I think it's because I giggle and Gus' collar jingles and she just KNOWS that we're doing something we shouldn't be doing. She's so smart sometimes.
This past weekend my big sister taught me how to wave, and now I do it all the time. I do it a lot with Katie and mom and dad. I am starting to do it more and more with everyone I see. Mom thinks it is funny that I can do it with my right hand alone, but if I try to wave with my left hand, my right hand goes automatically also. Mom got a picture of me waving to her this afternoon in my Santa suit from Grandma Becky.
Well, that's about it for now. I think it's time for bed since I have been refusing to nap at school during the day. I usually take a good nap when I get home from school in the afternoon, but mom and I ran last minute errands today and there was just too much stuff to look at for me to possibly think about sleeping. So I guess I'll go to bed early tonight instead.
Hugs and kisses to everyone!
Love, Nat"

Holiday Music, 5th Grade Orchestra-style
We have a Sony Bloggie (video camera) that we bought just before Natalie was born. It is small, sleek and super easy to use. We've captured some great videos with it since April but every time we plug it in to our computer, the whole computer crashes. I think we keep forgetting this because we keep taking videos with it and then not being able to watch them. We've got to get this figured out.
Katie's first cello concert was on Monday night. She practiced a lot and was very excited. She even earned the chance to play a cello duet with one of the other girls in 5th Grade Orchestra. She wasn't nervous one bit. She got up there and played her heart out with her fingers. We were all very proud of her and can't wait until her next concert!
Mr. Zheng and all-smiles Katie, after the concert. This is the only still photo we took. The rest was captured on video.

Katie's first cello duet
This post is very very late in being uploaded, but at least I am getting it uploaded before Katie's second cello concert on Thursday.
This was Katie's very first cello duet with one of her friends at school...
