Three Quarters of a Year

That's right.  Natalie is 9 months old.  She has been out as long as she was in.  haha!  We are now three fourths of the way through her first year.  In 3 months she will celebrate her first birthday!  That fact amazes me!  I have already started thinking about what we'll do to celebrate her first birthday.  Yikes!

Natalie is still so sweet and fun!  She is very content playing by herself, and is almost always happy.  She has such a great laugh!  Here is a video from September 1st, where she is laughing at Ranger.

Ranger is such a good dog!!  He is really good with Natalie.  :)

Here are the details from this past month:

She was in such a good mood when I took these pictures!  I love it when her super happy moods coincide with these photo shoots.  :)

I'll leave you with a video of Natalie waving to me!

Concert at Cline Cellars Winery

On August 24th, Natalie and I went to listen to one of Travis' concerts.  The USAF Band of the Golden West was performing at the Cline Cellars Winery in Sonoma, which sounded like a great excuse to get outside!  I was expecting it to be hot outside, but it was actually really nice, especially sitting in the shade of a tree.  We didn't have the best view of Travis, but we could hear just fine.  I spread a couple of blankets on the ground, put some of Natalie's toys out, and enjoyed the show.  It was really fun!

Yes, it's blurry... but who could resist this face?!?!
