POOF! All of the sudden I have this beautiful, fun little girl to brighten each of my days.

About our Natalie:

-Still VERY attached to a pink blanket that is turning a grayish color and acquiring new stains daily

-LOVES her milk, especially in a sippy cup

-still wears a bib at mealtimes, which is good...she is a pretty messy eater

-still wakes up a couple times a night...to go to the bathroom and for other random reasons

-loves strawberries, cheese, spaghetti, smoothies, Life cereal, bananas, burritos, ketchup, olives

-has really started to do a lot of pretend play which is so nice

-will start preschool next week...she loves that her name starts with the same letter as her daddy's

-does great at church in Nursery

-likes to cuddle and make pretend beds around the house

-loves to go hiking and birdwatching with her dad

-she is very active and athletic

-she always has and still does LOVE dogs, doggies, puppies

-doesn't have a real love for princesses and things like that, but she will happily play with most anything

-loves to play with Play-Doh, especially with little hard animals to hide inside

-loves to be read to and to sit and "read" to herself

-favorite treat is chocolate, probably M&Ms

-likes to come lie by me in bed in the mornings

I hate that it's so difficult to put a child's personality into words...but that list's my best attempt. Natalie, we couldn't love more. You bring us so much happiness and know you always will!
