Happy 2nd Birthday Natalie!

Today we celebrated the littlest member of our family turning two.


Nonna and Tof took Jill for the morning so Natalie had Mommy and Daddy all to herself. Mommy's grand plan was to get her 2 year old pictures taken at the mall that morning. The birthday girl decided to cry and cry and cry to let Mommy know that was not what she had planned! So we toured the mall a little instead. She walked on her own like a big girl as we visited the brand new Apple store... and to Daddy's delight, she perked right up when we got there! We also stopped and bought her a special present too, some necklaces at Claire's so she can be just like Mommy and Jilly. Then it was time to grocery shop and nap to get ready for her birthday dinner!

Quote of the day: "I sit on big ball and play 'puter!"
(The 'chair' at the kids table in the Apple store was a big upholstered ball.)

Popping out of Jill's laundry hamper like the goofball she is.



(Notice Daddy giving Jill a stern warning about letting Natalie blow her own candles out!)

And Jilly listened! Look at her merely coaching Natalie!

Yes, she wore Jill's bike helmet on and off all evening long.
Why? We're not sure. Perhaps puzzles are far more dangerous than we know...

Not only does she look like her daddy, she has the same interests! They'll be hanging out at the mall all the time now!

Hope the girls and Chris had a great birthday!

Love,
