Look out world - Natalie's 20 months old!

Natalie is 20 months old now!  Before we know it we'll be planning her 2nd birthday party!  But before we do that, let's catch you up on what we've been doing.  Natalie is learning so much every day!  She is learning to use the potty, learning to dress herself, learning to use silverware, and learning to say so many new things!  Her vocabulary is growing by the minute and she can repeat anything and everything we say.  She is putting lots of 2-word phrases together and can say "hold it," "watch it," "on the lap,"(when she wants to sit on our lap or when she wants Lily to sit on her lap), "I want.......(insert most anything here), "mine house" (when we're on walks and get back to our house).  There are so many other things she says that crack us up.  Lately, we've been watching the Thunder playoff games and if she sees the TV on ESPN, she immediately screams "The game!!! Watch it!!"  She also has some funny words for things and calls her flip flops her "beep bops" and she likes to help me put on makeup and calls it "make muck."  She is so sweet and loving and loves to rock and loves to take care of her babies.  She feeds them and likes to put blankets on them and rock them and change their diapers.  She also likes to treat Lily like she's her baby too and puts blankets on her and gives her bottles too.  So far, Lily has been a really good sport about it all.  She still would rather be outside more than anything else and is loving helping us with our garden and planting flowers.  She also frequently requests "Music!" so that she can dance.  She has lots of crazy dance moves that are hilarious!  Needless to say, there is never a dull moment at our house.  Here are some pictures of our recent adventures.

Wearing her swimsuit for swimming lessons (which she LOVED going to every week)


Easter egg hunt - This was pretty entertaining to watch.....she was a little overwhelmed by all the crazy kids running around grabbing eggs.  She was a little more laid back than others but managed to get several eggs strategically.



Did he steal my egg???

Granny and Papa, and Great-Granny


Enjoying a "royal" brunch to celebrate the royal wedding at a friend's house





She couldn't quite decide if the tiara was supposed to go on her head or around her waist - princesses need practice on these things apparently!



Look quick!!!  These doggy ears lasted about 2 minutes before Natalie pulled them out and "fixed" her hair the way she wanted to wear it.



We really enjoyed walking in the March of Dimes March for Babies in honor of our friends Renna and Reagan that were born prematurely.  We are so thankful for healthy babies and children and enjoyed catching up with friends and having some fun playing!
