Guess Who Turned One This Week?

[Adina P]

It's hard to believe but Miss Natalie turned ONE this Monday! Since a few of you wished her a Happy Birthday I thought I'd post a blog with some recent pics of the littlest love of my life.

This is her last week. She discovered this tray holder is a GREAT little toy but you'll see she doesn't really need it:

We had a little Birthday party with Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma and had a wonderful time last night.

The Birthday Girl all dressed up and ready to party!

Checking out presents...

Getting ready to feed her new baby. What was totally cute is after we moved on to other presents, she still was stuck on her new baby (which was now back in the box and on the floor in front of her). She leaned over the sofa and reached down and said "Baby" =) Sooo cute! She has several words she uses: Mamma/Mommy, Dada, Ba Ba (for "back" that she says to the dogs to get out of her way), nana (banana), uh-oh, bye-bye, hi, kitty (though I've never heard her say it her baby sitter who has a kitty told me), she repeats 'nigh nigh' for night-night, and she signs "more".

Joining Daddy in a Ukelele duet =)

She mostly preferred to smash her cake rather than eat it =)

Here's to a fabulous first year with Natalie and looking forward to decades more!
