Natalie is ONE! I can't believe it. Where does the time go? She is so cute. She loves peek-a-boo, we taught her to put up one finger when we ask how old she is, she waves hello and goodbye so cute, she loves table food (no more baby food for her), switching to whole milk took a little coaxing but she is doing great with it, she still doesn't like to stand and scoots on her bum no crawling, she is almost always happy, she is too light (18 lbs) to turn around in the car so she still rides backwards, she hates socks and shoes, she blows kisses, and gives kisses (more like licks), she sleeps so well, she takes nice long naps, her hair has stopped sticking up so much, she puts her hands up when I am changing her, she pulls herself up to her knees but doesn't like to stand, she likes football at least seems to, she claps and cheers with the rest of us, she loves music, she bounces to the music and pays attention when music comes on, she loves her brother, she likes to roll the ball back and forth and pushes cars and trucks around, she is such a joy and we are so glad she is part of our family.
My one year old and I.
Nathan is FIVE! That is crazy too. Sharing a birthday wasn't too bad this year. Nathan enjoyed opening presents. He is the most enthusiastic gift opener I have ever seen. Let's see he is going to preschool, playing soccer, loves to play with friends, ride his bike and scooter, dribble (he really dribbles well), shoot baskets, swim, and entertain us all, he is a great big brother and loves his little sister so much we feel blessed to have him in our family.
Natalie enjoyed the commotion and playing with the paper and boxes.
Nathan blowing out his candles. He got lots of practice this year.
I made Natalie a pink cake. I thought it would be fun for her to have her own cake.
Here she is just before getting her cake.
Starting to enjoy it...
Really focusing and getting into it...
Eating way too much cake but loving it.
All bathed and coaxed into a picture with her tiara.
Nathan on his new bike. He is getting to be really good on it.
Shooting hoops out front.
Riding his new scooter. He's been ready for this for awhile he is a pro.
Here are the kids picking up candy from the pinata. We had a secret agent/spy party. The pinata was a black bomb. We did an obstacle course, finger printing, defuse the other teams bombs (balloons), find the bomb (kitchen timer), we had a secret mission using our cipher cards to decipher the codes and locate the key to defuse the bomb. We took pictures of the kids in disguise and made id badges for them. A fun party but I can't imagine having to do two so close together. Oh what we have the look forward to.
Here is Nathan with some of his friends getting ready to blow out the candles.
I think he likes it. It was my first try with fondant. It turned out pretty well.
I love this picture of Nathan and Natalie, just before church last week.
