Natalie is 1 year old!

Our sweet Natalie turns 1 today!  Wow!  What a fast year!  Her personality is really blossoming now. 
She weighs around 23 lbs and wears 18 month clothes, size 3 shoes, and size 3 diapers.  She is starting to transition to cow's milk (not a big fan yet!), and she loves table foods now.  She is babbling away, says Momma, Dadda, baba (bottle), uh-oh.  She is walking, but crawling and cruising along furniture are still her primary means of transportation.  She can take probably 8-10 steps before falling.  She loves climbing up stairs and basically anything she can climb up on (just like her big sister!).  She loves giving hugs and kisses.  She has the biggest smile and the best giggle.  She is such a little angel at bedtime, she puts her head on your shoulder and holds on really tight and is just the best snuggler.  She loves to be sang to.  She just adores her big sister Avery.  She wants to do everything she is doing, she gives her hugs and just lights up when she sees her.  I could go on and on about this sweet little girl and all her accomplishments this year.  We have really enjoyed watching her grow and learn new things.  It has been a busy year, mostly just "surviving" our day to day routine with 2 little ones, but we wouldn't have it any other way.  Natalie is a blessing to our family, we just love her and thank God for her every day.
