20 Months

20 Month photos... we had to get creative since
we didn't have her blocks with us

She loves to cover her eyes and walk around... danger monkey

It has been so much fun watching Natasha's personality develop over her 20 months of life. She is such a little entertainer... once she warms up to the crowd. Natasha is learning new words and phrases each day. Some of our favorites are "hold you," "thank you, you're welcome," and "where's Jack," which she yelled over and over again in Steamboat. Natasha also really enjoys looking at photos of herself. If she sees our iPad or camera lying around she will ask us "More Tasha?" I don't know where she gets it from, but it sure is cute. Natasha can now name all the Yo Gabba Gabba characters including "DJ Rock" and she knows that Plex is a robot. Her other favorite video is Baby Signing Time or to Natasha, "Baby Time-ah (said with an Italian accent). Besides watching her favorite shows (multiple times a day), Natasha enjoys being outside and playing at the playground with friends. She looks forward to Thursdays with "gram ma" and Fridays with "mimi papa." Natasha also loves to see Matt and Izzy, but I think she really wants to see Cooper (formerly known as Coo Coo). Our little girl is growing up so fast and we can't wait to see what she does or what comes out of her mouth next!

Piggy Tails, Boots and More

Brown eyed girl... I think she looks a lot like Cam in this picture.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Halloween! Natasha went as Little Red Riding Hood this year,
although she looks like a little German girl to me.

Here we go...

Trick or Treat!

Oreo greeted Natasha too... she was dressed as a tourist
with a flower lei and a camera around her neck

Group shot of the neighborhood kids. Natasha wanted
nothing to do with this photo... maybe next year.

Looking out for trick or treaters... she definitely enjoyed
passing out candy more so than going door to door herself.

These photos are from our Halloween Party with the 2010 Babies Club:

Tasha and Ford

Noelani and Tasha... these girls are inseparable.

Trick or Treating around the park

Natasha loves the act of putting the candy in her bag and taking them out...
she is a bit of a hoarder

They just can't get enough of each other.

Happy Halloween! Natasha has been having so much fun this month with pumpkin patches and Halloween parties. She got to wear her costume for the first time last week for our Halloween party with the 2010 Babies Club. Natasha is one cute Little Red Riding Hood. She loved putting on her new black shoes to wear with her dress. We set up candy stations around the park for the kids to do some trick or treating. Natasha had a great time, but it did take her a little while to get into it. However, she loved holding her candy bag with all her loot. Natasha carried that bag around for days... she would take out all the candy, look at them all and then put them all back in. This year we decided to take Natasha out for a little bit of trick or treating before returning home to pass out candy. But after a failed attempt to take a picture with the bigger kids we just went to our next door neighbor's house for a treat and then headed home. Natasha had much more fun passing out candy and seeing all the kids come to the door in their costumes. Hopefully, next year will be more successful going door to door. We hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! Thanks for checking in on our Little Red Riding Hood.
