Natalie is seven months now and a very proficient crawler. She is pulling up on things and is looking like a "climber". Noelle was very busy like her sister but not much of a climber. And unlike Noelle, Natalie has to put everything in her mouth! Definitely keeps me on my toes.
I'll look away for a minute and then turn back around and say "NATALIEEE, what do you think you're doing?" Natalie always turns and looks at me with a big grin and Noelle thinks its hilarious. Noelle is always coming to me now and saying, "What do you think Natalie is doing?" And sure enough it's something wild and Noelle loves it! She is such a sweet big sis and loves to make Natalie smile (right now, her jumping up and down or running towards us is natalie's favorite).
For some of you family members that knew me when I was little, you will get a kick out of this video! This is so me!
Noelle and I love looking back at some of the old videos. We thinks some of them are soo funny. My favorite is "My Baby Ballet Dancer" or "Hallelujah" and hers is "Lots of New Tricks" the one where she just learned to walk and falls on the "stuff in your way." It makes her really giggle. You could see any of them here:

NOELLE AND NATALIE!
Last night, I was sitting on the couch with both girls on either side. Natalie had a full belly and was therefore very happy and Noelle was feeling extra cuddly. She was getting right in Natalie's face and talking to her and they both had huge smiles. I started laughing and it made them smile even more.
I felt an overwhelming sense of delight in my girls and thankfulness for moments like that. It was followed by a sober moment to remember that many people don't ever or often feel this type of love. I then remembered that God delights in His children wanting everyone to know it and was filled with an awareness that it was not just the three of us sitting there loving each other but there was a forth joining right in on the smiles.

BEAUTIFUL GIFTS...
Tomorrow I'm having a "Shopping Party" at my house. I wanted to tell you all about the two organizations that will be there. They are really awesome organizations whose causes minister to some beautiful women. The organizations sell the products made by women in India and Uganda.
If anyone reads this and wants to come to the party, it's at 11:00 (Dec 6th).
Check out their websites and buy Christmas gifts that are a double blessing - 1 for the recipient and 2 for the creators.
International Princess Project - They seek to restore, equip and empower women who are removed from the sex slave trade in India. These women learn to sew and make a living creating "punjammies" - pajama pants that are sold here in the US.

31Bits - Work with refugee women in Uganda who make beautiful jewelry. They come alongside these women to bring hope and restoration as well as give them a market to sell their jewelry.
