JUMP!

Natalie's newest accomplishment is joining the ranks of all of the jumpers out there.  That's right! Our little Natalie can now jump.  She is very proud of herself.  Granted, she gets about a millimeter off the ground, but it is really cute to watch her try so hard to get both feet off the ground at the same time.  She prepares herself and swings her arms around hoping the momentum will do something to help.  She usually ends up doing a galloping motion for a little bit but does eventually get both feet off at the same time.

So, needless to say, this has just increased her desire to jump off of things.  As we were getting ready for bed tonight, Weston and Natalie piled all of their blankets on the floor in front of the couch and began jumping off into the pile. 

See Natalie's cape?

It was so cute to watch.  Natalie even said, "One, Two Three!"  She is really developing her vocabulary quickly now.  Weston and Natalie giggled, giggled, and giggled some more.  They thought it was just so much fun. 

To add to her cuteness, Natalie would throw her fist up in the air before she jumped and after she landed.  For those of you familiar with Mario Brothers, at the end of each world after you jump on the flag, Mario takes his hat off, throws his fist up in the air, and says "Mario Time!"  Natalie thinks this is so funny!  Every time she sees it, she throws her fist up in the air and mutters, "Mmmm tuh!"  So, she did the same thing with her jumping accomplishment.  It was just adorable.  She is so funny!

Mario Time!

Then, Weston thought it was funny that we got Natalie's bottom in one of the pictures so he found it necessary to pose several times for the camera with his bottom facing us.  He would run back to check and make sure we got the picture of his bottom.  He was laughing hysterically.  Boy, the things that entertain these little ones!

Here is the culprit picture

Notice the Weston bum?  ;)

What a fun night!
