Stealing Cinderella

She was playing Cinderella, riding her first bike, bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight. Running through the sprinklers with a big Popsicle grin, dancing with her dad looking up at him.

Natalie LOVES that song. She can sing every word and asks me to play it over and over in my car. Well, last night she was PLAYING Cinderella, and I got a few pics of her cuteness. Please overlook the spaghetti on her face.

Pictures from Natalie's Camera

Santa Claus gave Natalie a camera for christmas. She was taking pictures all day today, so I finally hooked it up to my computer to check out her work. Here are some of her work.

Lil Beefalo

I haven't seen my little nephew since Mother's Day and I am missing him so much. However, his lovely Mama sent some pictures of the little man in his highchair for the first time, and he is PRECIOUS! Natalie is spending the next four days with MomMom and DadDad and is having a great time. Mommy gets a nice break and a chance to spend time with friends. I hope MOMMOM takes some beautiful pictures of Natalie at her house so I can post them for everyone.

Enjoy the pictures of my handsome little Nephew.

Relaxing in his seat! Tough being a little man!

Check out my legs! I'm going to be a soccer player!

Little Smiles..
and for comparison sake, here is Natalie at 3 months

Looking a little weird, but definately shows her size!

Toy Story

What happens when you take a 3 year old to the store and allow her to pick out 1 toy? You wind up walking away with 3!!

Do you think it was Mommy who allowed this to happen or some other person who adores Natalie to pieces? Correct, it was not Mommy as Mommy does not fall for big doe eyes.

Yesterday evening my friend and I went to Wal-Mart with Natalie. The purpose of the trip was that my friend wanted to get Natalie a toy. We made it to the toy aisles and off they went. I purposely stayed back because I didn't want Natalie to ask me what she could and could not get. I informed her that she would have to take it up with him and informed him that he needed to give her guidelines as to how much, how big, etc. I decided it was a good time to look at little bikes, helmets and the works for Natalie while she paraded up and down the aisles. After looking at the bikes, I followed the loud laughs and giggles and found Nat. Sure enough she had 1 toy and 2 additional toys!!! She was in kiddy heaven.

I snuck into her room this morning to take the pics of her bounty which I placed on the floor before I went to bed, and a follow up picture of her sleeping.

Also, you will see Princess Natalie from this weekend!. The Red Balloon was her "puppy" named Sally. Thanks to Rick she now has a stuffed animal puppy named Sally.


After watching the Princess Diaries, Natalie wanted to dress like a Princess.


With her "puppy" Sally. We took Sally everywhere which definitely brought some odd looks. Here Nat is patting Sally.

And the New Sally. A white Maltese in her own purple kennel. There is also Barbie and her Great Dane and Polly Pockets Animal Jungle and vehicle.

Sleeping Beauty. We had a little accident last week when Natalie fell out of my bed, busted her lip open on my bedside table and bruised her cheek and forehead. I think her bed is safer! :)

Beach Baby

Natalie loves the beach. Fortunately for me there is a pretty little beach on the lake shore near my house. I have begun taking Natty there as it is free and we can both relax and have fun. She also loves the pool, but is still a little timid. We are working on it though.

Finally, She started Fort Worth Montessori today. I hope it goes well!






So cute!

Maybe her belly will shrink one day, but for now its cute when it hangs out.

Pensive...and a cute hiney

Who doesn't love to be buried in the sand?

All tuckered out and sandy, and apparently missing tops and bottoms. She did have panties on though!


Up up and away...


Swimming all by herself

First day of new school!
