Natalie Turns One!

Natalie Caroline turns one today. Here is a picture from a little party we had for her while on vacation last week. She is so full of personality, has 3 bottom teeth and likes to dance and give fives. There is also a little song she sings that sounds just a little like 'E-I-E-I-O'. There is a boat load of pictures coming up from our vacation soon - stay tuned. In the meantime, here is a glimpse of her on the beach sporting her favorite expression...the pouty bottom lip!

Natalie Likes Swinging

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon so we loaded up and went to the park. Dad and Ian were running around like crazy, but Natalie got her first try at a swing. She was fine when I put her in the swing, but not fine at the first push. Apparently, I needed to ease her into it. After a quick hug and a slower start, she got into it. She stared at her dangling feet for a while, tried hanging on different ways and finally let some giggles out. Such sweet fun!
