Bonnett-Castillo Family Blog

It seems every time I get on here to blog the same thought enters my mind... Its been a long time since my last blog!! I guess life gets pretty busy with an 8 month old baby!

This past month Natalie has grown so much!! She is crawling around like crazy, and is even standing! Most of the time she holds onto the couch and cruises around that way, but the last few days she has been letting go, and she can balance pretty well on her own. We know its only a matter of time before Natalie starts walking. She has got 2 teeth and loves to bite us, or really anything she can get into her mouth! These tiny little teeth are so sharp they leave marks! She hardly fussed at all when her teeth were coming in, and hopefully that will be the case for the rest of her teeth. During meals she decided she does not need to wear a bib anymore and is constantly taking it off. Last night she discovered she can spit food when she eats... As funny as it was at the time I tried to control my laughter, I don't want Natalie to think that its ok to spit food every night at dinner! We have recently found out Natalie is ticklish... and she just giggles and giggles while trying to grab our hands.

Over this past weekend my Grandma Toshiko came out to visit with my parents. It was only a short little trip, but it was nice to see everyone. It still takes Natalie a while to warm up to people when they visit, so by time she started getting comfortable with everyone it was time for them to leave. We all went to Seaport Village the day they came, and then the next day we visited Tyler and took a tour of his ship.

Here are a few pictures from this past month:
