1st Birthday!

Natalie turned ONE on Sunday!  She is such a sweet little soul, full of big smiles and goofy expressions.  We are so blessed to have her.  She makes us so happy. 

She finally decided to crawl the day before her 1st birthday.  Its an army crawl but effective nonetheless.  She'd still rather be on her feet though, walking fast...with a couple of fingers to hold on to.    

She's got 2 teeth coming in on top, but they're not the middle two.  They're the ones next to the middle.  As the doctor said today, "she'll be going vampire" for a while.  Fantastic.  Luckily, she did confirm that the middle ones are in there, so hopefully they'll come soon.  

Here are some pictures of her big day...

Getting ready for cake.  I love that you can see her 2 bottom teeth and those big blue eyes.


Mini Hello Kitty cake that Nana made.




Yummy...I like cake

Nana made a full size Kitty cake for the rest of us.  How amazing is this?


Mimi and Papa got her a little piano and she loves to "play" it...loud.  Makes me laugh every time she bangs on it.
