And for the two biggest milestones of the month...........

Natalia is pulling herself up to standing, and even cruises a little bit by her play yard!

Standing up all by herself!

Natalia has discovered her reflection, though it's unclear who she thinks is looking back at her. (Pay special attention starting at second 35!)

And everyone can quit asking.... her first tooth is officially out!

She won't stay still enough to get a clear shot, but you can see the tiny pearly white on her lower left.
