Natalie turns 2!

Well the big day has come and went. Natalie is officially two. We celebrated in Florida with the family, and then just celebrated with the four of us on her actual birthday. This has been a hard two years, but the most rewarding two years as well. It's hard to believe that I will never have a tiny little baby again. Natalie is such an amazing blessing to our family. She is so cute and little, but has the most energetic personality you will ever find. She may be a little slow to warm up, but once she does and she flashes that beautiful smile at you, the reward was definitely worth the wait. It didn't really hit me that my "baby" was two until we went to put her bed that evening. She has changed drastically this past year. Her language is improving every day, she can run lightning fast, she has a giggle that will melt your heart, and she has a little more hair! Almost enough for a Pebbles do! She has almost all of teeth (which she and myself are very happy about!) Her bond with Brenna grows every day. I love to hear her little voice say, "sissy" in the most loving way. She loves her baby dolls, and her bouncy horse. Her favorite times are at home with her daddy, sissy and me. I love that I am getting to know her more and more as she grows. I love both of my girls more than life itself, and pray that God will bless them as immensely as he has blessed Ben and me. I love you Natalie. You will always be mommy's baby girl.








She loved when we sang to her and really liked blowing out the candles. She asked to do it again!






Just a cute pic of her today at Brenna's soccer game.
Our Luau!
I love this picture of her.
She loved this thing.





Saying "cheers"

  2. Beautiful pictures, Shawn! It looks like Natalie had two really great birthday celebrations! I can't believe how big she is getting! Feels like yesterday I surprised you guys in the hospital the day after she was born. Everyone looks so happy and I'm so glad to see everyone's smiles! Makes me smile! Love you all!
