Natalie & Rex

Rex was in time-out for getting on the couch. Natalie was feeling sorry for him and decided to put herself into timeout too. Apparently, it didn't make Rex feel any better.

There's just no clean way to do it...

Licking cupcake beaters.

Preparing for Christmas

Natalie's favorite part of the Sunday paper is the toy catalog.

Natalie's newest talent...

That's right, it's potty time!

Catching Frogs

Ewwww... (And no, she never actually caught it.)

This isn't what it looks like...

Natalie's not trying to hang herself here. She's putting on and taking off all of her headbands. At one point, she had like 20 of them around her neck (supervised by mom, of course).

A big girl bowl of cereal...

Natalie loves Cocoa Krispies!

The Daily Treatment

Grandma gave Natalie her breathing treatment before bed tonight. Natalie takes Pulmicort through a nebulizer for her asthma.

The Blueberry Patch

Natalie wasn't much into picking blueberries. She just liked to wander around the blueberry patch.

Natalie's first BIG GIRL haircut...

Natalie had her first big girl haircut today. I've only trimmed her bangs a couple of times before, just to get them out of her eyes.

And it's so stinkin' cute that I couldn't stop taking pictures!

Natalie for hire!

Natalie found a (fake) construction site at the Children's Museum and put herself to work. Following in daddy's footsteps, perhaps?

Mood Swings

From this...

To this...

...in just a matter of moments.

The only reason I wanted a picture was for the outfit she wearing that day. It was one that used to be mine when I was little. My mom has saved quite a few of my old outfits.

Natalie loves her bread & butter!!

Big Girl

Weeeeee...

The Easter Egg Hunt

Natalie was quick to learn about finding the eggs that the Easter bunny had hid.

New Bangs!

Natalie's hair was getting so long and barrettes weren't working anymore. She kept tearing them out, with hair still attached. It was time for bangs!

Bed Head

That must have been an extremely sweaty nap!

The train ride...

Natalie really enjoyed the train ride for Toby's birthday. Just like any other event, it was an opportunity for eating. She spent the entire ride snacking on apple slices and raisins.

Chuck E Cheese

Natalie loved her first trip to Chuck E Cheese (for Toby's birthday). They had a nice little play area for kids her size.

Cookies!

This is what happens when Michelle comes over with Noah. It's always about the cookies!

This isn't a bath?

Natalie apparently thinks this roaster is a new bath tub - just her size!

Peek-A-Boo!!

Natalie will sit in this summersault-ready position waiting for me to help her with the rest. Of course, one is never enough. We'll do this about 20 times or until she's too dizzy to stand.
