My sweet baby
As we were putting Natalia to bed last night she was so sweet. We laid her down, covered her with all her blankets (she totally gets this from me, even when it's warm, she loves being under the weight of a billion blankets) and were saying goodnight. As we were walking toward the door she turned her head toward us and said "Aye YOooo" which is how she says I love you!!!!! Usually she will say it this after I say "I love you," but last night she said it completely on her own and unprompted. It was the best moment ever!!!!!!!!

Obama has my phone bugged!!
I know this because he totally is using my idea of capping CEO salaries! If you haven't heard, CEO's of companies who received bailout money are now having their salaries capped at $500k/year. While this still sounds like a lot, you have to keep in mind that people who are making a lot of money tend to have a lot of bills. We don't want these guys going into default also and adding yet another foreclosure to this mess.
Congrats Mr.
President, I think listening to me is a good idea!!

Oh the places she'll go!
Current mood: fascinated
So, Natalia is doing all sorts of new things since the last time I posted a blog. The most significant of them is this new walking thing! She started it on 12/21 (it's a Christmas miracle!!) and hasn't slowed down since. She just keeps getting faster and faster! She also waves good-bye pretty consistantly now, although not where the person that she's waving to can see her. We still don't have any English or Portuguese words, but she is a joke master in her own language. On 1/7 she gave her first little kiss, she kissed me right on the cheek. She is becoming a master at eating with a spoon, but still finds it faster to use her hands, we have quite a few tantrums over this because using her hands involves smearing food in her hair. Mommy has decided that this is not allowed and Natalia vehemetly disagrees. She likes to wear bracelets, which is pretty much anything circular that her hand fits through, and she walks all over the house showing them off.
She has 4 teeth now and we are enjoying her little snaggle toothed look before it disappears. Mommy and Daddy just love that big ol' toothy grin!
She is also quite the little performer and has become quite adept at imitations, most notable are her Tarzan and Godzilla.
She loves to read to us and carries her books all over her house. I think her favorite toy is her bookshelf, she spends hours pulling books down and putting them back up.
Natalia is enjoying bathtime more and more every day, although she doesn't really care about her toys. She prefers to play with the pumice stone and shower brush, not to mention the drain.
She is very independent and will sometimes spend an hour playing in her room by herself. But this little independent streak has it's downsides too, especially when we are in a hurry. She enjoys picking out her own clothes and I usually hold up to her closet so that she can decide.
She is Menininha do Papai and prefers to be with Daddy over Mommy at any time. This makes Mommy sad sometimes, but she does have Talia all to herself during the day.
We are pretty lucky to have such a wonderful little girl!
