Pictures from January

13 months

Natalie you are growing up so fast...mommy can't believe how big you are getting!  At 13 months you now say: hi, out, nose, mama, daa-dee, milk, yes, no
Your favorite thing to do is to read books....lots and lots of books.  You love the Your Baby Can Read series and you ask mommy to read it several times a day!  You love truck books, any book with buttons, your First Words Book, Ladybug Books, B is for Bear, Mirror Me!, and Bright Baby Books!
You know where your head, hair, nose, ears, mouth, tummy, arms, ankles, and toes are.  We are having trouble with eyes, although you point to mommy's eyes without any trouble (thank goodness I wear glasses!).
You are on the verge of running and are very steady on your feet.

It is crazy how big you are getting!

Happy 1st Birthday Natalie!

As hard as it is to believe...Natalie has been with us for a year!  I can't believe how fast the last year has gone, it truly is amazing!  We have had such a wonderful, blessed year with our daughter and are so lucky to have her in our lives!  On Saturday November, 26th we had her first birthday party with a bunch of good family and friends!  We had 14 kids that were 4 and under invited to the party....needless to say it was a little chaotic and loud, but no one got injured!

Here are the cupcakes for the kids
