HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY NATALIE!!!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY NATALIE!

When people tell you that the 1st year goes by "so fast" you don't believe them but it is SO true. I can't believe how fast this year has gone by and my little peanut has gone from pint size to a bubbly toddler. She amazes me with each new thing she learns. She has been a blessing and a joy in our family. I know she will bring us many, many, many more years of fun!
I compiled quite a few pictures from her 1st year. I hope you enjoy this look back at our little girl. Mommy and Daddy LOVE you SO much Natty!

Brand new, still at the hospital:
