Natalee's 2nd Birthday

My baby girl turns 2 in just 4 short days.
We celebrated with family and friends yesterday and it was quite a party. Natalee was the recipient of more presents than any little girlie would ever need but she loves them all.
We had cake, good food, a little puke (Natalee got to coughing and had her lunch up), and lots of laughs and fellowship.
Natalee and her family are very blessed to have so many around us that love her so dearly.

My big girl...my how you are growing.
Coloring, pretend play (especially cooking), and reading books are your very favorite things.
You still have a sucker (pacifier) and still liked to be rocked to sleep sometimes.
You're very smart and know how to count, all of your colors and the beginning understanding of what letters are.
You're eyes are sparkling blue.
You like to dance and sing and talk to Jesus and Grandma and Colby on the phone.
When I get out the camera you say, "smile" but often forget to look at me.
You are itchy somewhere all the time and still have dimples in your cheeks.
You weigh in still at 25 pounds and are getting very tall.
You wear 3T and 4T shirts but can still wear 2T pants if they are long enough.
You wear a size 7 shoe and really like boots.
You can say anything that I can say and will try.
Once we teach you something you never forget it.
Bath time is fun for you and you now let mommy pull your hair into a pony without too much fuss.
You are taking an interest in your "fashion" and like to pick your color of bows or flowers and sometimes which shirt to wear. When we fix your hair & get you dressed in the morning you march out of the bathroom or bedroom to show daddy and gain his approval. I hope you always care so much whether daddy approves your clothes.

I'm so proud of the little person you are becoming. Daddy & I & Xavier love you very much!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Little Monkey!
