January 2008

Welcome:
Happy New Year!!! We are all doing great. I am feeling well and 5 months along already. For anyone wondering what we are having....we won't be finding out. It will be another surprise. If the baby is a boy...Daddy will be making a quick stop at the store. Natalie is almost 22 months old and talking up a storm. She likes to repeat Mom and Dad. She knows there is a baby in my belly and keeps saying it is a girl (I don't know how much she really understands...but we are listening to her intuition).

Happy 1st Birthday Natalie

Every mom has to capture this moment.

Hello All,

Here is another posting of our Angel Baby. She turned 1 on March 30th. We had a party full of many, many family members (friends can come to the future birthdays). Unfortunately, Natalie was sick for her b-day, but was such a trooper and pushed through the fun, chaotic day. Her newest milestone is walking. She began walking a few weeks before her birthday. It has been so fun watching her overcome the challenges of balance. :)

Natalie felt too ill to taste the cupcake so decided to squish it

through her little fingers....much more fun.

She did try to blow, but didn't have enough force behind it. :)

Family photo of all guests who joined the celebration (we had to take this for the scrapbook).

Natalie was trying to sit on her new car, as well as open another gift, before it even emerged from the wrapping paper. ...my little multi-tasker

So cute...

Natalie's flower cupcake cake....no it is not a tree (like my aunt thought)

I had to post this picture for its uniqueness.

Look at me! I am walking!

One of my favorite places to play while Mom is cooking.

I am soooooo cute!!
