Here's a picture of someone trying to get packed into our suitcases! Unfortunately, she was not allowed on the plane, but her cat-sitter took excellent care of her.
The night of the wedding, Natalie stayed overnight with her grandparents in Everett, while Tyler and I stayed in Seattle. It was definitely a milestone for us to spend the night away from our girl! She loved the time with her grandparents, and I don't think any of them would have minded if we hadn't returned for several days. Below is a picture of Tyler and I from the wedding. We stayed out until the wee hours, celebrating our friends' nuptials as well as our "freedom" from early-morning baby duty. Unfortunately, I was unable to sleep past 7:15 a.m. and forced Tyler to wake up as well to get back to our girl.
And here is our SOOOO big girl! In the background you can see Uncle Jay (top left corner), and behind Natalie is Great-Grandma Freda.
This trip was the trip of many new things for our girl. She has two new top teeth (and the accompanying parental sleep-deprivation to go along with them). She really liked Tyler's parents "dah" Sierra (a wonderful and well-behaved yellow lab), and ultimately learned to point out other "dahs" when we were out and about. She also called for "mama" and "dada" a lot in the early mornings when she wanted some food. She's finally doing better from her tummy bug and is really packing in the food! It's fun to eat out with her, because increasingly she's able to share food off of our plates. Food = entertainment for our girl!
She also decided to start waving yesterday. Once we returned home today, we were able to catch it on video to share. It's really cute!
Last week she also started clapping, and I will be sure to catch that on video soon!
