A day in pictures

Yesterday after Ryland left for school, Natalie took a nap on the couch while I got to catch up on some tv watching. When Natalie woke up, she immediately got down from the couch, walked to the middle of the room and said "where's Pete?". When I reminded her that Ryland was at school, she fell to the floor in this position. She was so sad that her favorite person wasn't there to play with her.



Happy girl ready to go pick up Pete from school. It was such a beautiful day too. Felt like summer!

Ryland too!

Natalie is 2!

Sweet little Natalie is 2 years old. Where does the time go? Seems like I was just meeting her, and now she is talking in full sentences, saying her abc's, and trying to dress herself. She is such a sweet little girl with her very own unique personality. Here are a few things you may not know about her:

-she says an "s" sound for words that have an "f" sound in them. So funny becomes sunny and phone become sone. It helps to know this to be able to figure out what she is saying.

- Natalie's favorite food is noodles, sauce and cheese. She requested it yesterday morning for her birthday breakfast, and ate two bowls full, silly girl.

-She also loves rice. Especially rice from Baja Fresh.

-She follows Ryland and tries to play with her constantly. She has started saying "Pete!! Come play with me!!".

- She loves clothes, and tries to put them on herself. She is getting pretty good at it too. Yesterday she got some socks for her birthday, and requested I put all four pairs on her at once. Then she said "dada, this is not good" when she realized how uncomfortable it was to wear that many socks.

Here's my sweet girl the day she was born...look at those cheeks :)





Her yesterday...

Laughter

The sound of these girls laughing and playing together is one of my favorite things. Natalie is really good at making Ryland crack up, and let's not forget that Ryland was the first one to get a giggle out of Natalie. Enjoy!
