dancin' and singin' and movin' to the groovin'

Naddie is mommy’s girl!! I can finally say that. She might not look much like me, but she sure loves to move her little “tush” to the music as much as I do. She is so cute when she gets into it. She really likes the drum lines but will move to any kind of music.
This week’s entertainment (as I have decided that once a week we can afford to pay for some sort of entertainment) we went to the Discovery Science Cube and she had a blast. It wasn’t really anything the museum had, more like the kids around her and all the excitement that made her interested. They had the Sesame Street exhibition called “THE BODY” and that was really the only thing she could participate in. She was really focused on the “robber duck ducky” assignment where she had to find the correct answer to the questions and touch them by the sink. She also loved the signing (as she can now sign: more & eat and we are working on thank you).
This week I also got a bike trailer so that we can go on bike rides with her. We are just still waiting for her infant size helmet to arrive.
I also think that she said her first word, which one would think would be either mom or dad but in reality it is “KIT”. I believe that is for the KITTY we call Puma.
I say I believe because she only said it ones and I got so excited I really wanted Will to hear and of course we never heard it ever since.
We also signed up for some mommy and me classes and will be starting them next week.
She is growing like weed and has been very healthy ever since we have been back here. No more coughs or ear infections or any nasty little “buggers” attacking her little immune system.
We also had a fun birthday/celebration party for Will a few weeks ago. He is officially a Dr. and finished school!!!!!

It's a big, big world

We will keep her little map updated as she explores the world.

BE AWARE OF BABY!!!!

Naddie got her first tooth!!!!!!! Ask me how I found out!....... Well, she bit me.

I was totally taken by surprise. I think it took a few minutes for my brain to process the information that was sent by Naddie's tooth. I have to say it is pretty sharp too. It is not all the way out just yet but it will be sooner than later.

She is also rolling around and rocks back and forth on her fours. As much as I thought that she would not crawl, I think she is on her way and will take a few weeks for her to master the new knowledge.

She is finally sleeping through the night for this past week and that allowed me to have more than four hours straight sleep. Sometimes in the early morning hours I just lay a wake in the bed just because I can..... and waiting for HER to wake up.

She is changing soo much right now that I can't even think of everything new she is doing!!!

Her diet is changing a lot with the introduction of turkey with broccoli and asparagus which I have been cooking up. Also just lots and lots of fresh fruit cut up or worked into her plain yogurt. NO MORE "ready made". Not even her apple sauce.

Naddie and Betti at the Getty, Laguna Beach, Santa Monica and the OC Fair

Huh........ We have a visitor. Her name is Betti and she is here from Hungary for 10 days.
We have been soo busy with her!! We visited the Getty museum and walked around for about three hours. Naddie absolutely loved it!! She was fascinated by the paintings but did not care for the sculptures. She had a big ol' good time as one of the security guys said while he watched her.
We also drove to Santa Monica and walked around the promenade and than the pier.
Yesterday we visited Laguna Beach and spent some time on the beach just looking at the sea life and enjoyed the ocean.
And last but not least we went to the OC fair (with her aunt Lisa as well) today and had some greasy food and watched the madness. We also looked at the visual art exhibition but did not find anything that we would want to buy. Maybe next year. We also watched the farm animals and Naddie just did not know what to make of them (as you can see from the video to the right).
She is also doing some new stuff. She is pulling herself up to stand by the table when she is sitting in someones lap, she can also drink out of a straw and she still loves that "little" voice of hers. I seriously think she has the highest pitch I have ever heard. Did someone just say something? I'm sorry I could not hear you. I think my hearing is gone.....
