Watch Me Grow...The final part...ok, maybe not the final part!

Well...I hoped that this was the last part of watch me grow, my goal was to get Natalie's pictures all caught up before she turned 18 months old, that was almost 6 months ago. Can you say slacker? I've got lots of work to do but am determined to get this up to date and keep it up to date by the time she turns 2!

Month 13 -

Here's our sweet baby girl getting ready to get a taste of her 1st birthday cake. I can't believe how quickly she's grown.

She does NOT like to be messy so I was pretty surprised that she got it all over her hands.




For some reason this is one of my favorite pictures of her. Look how sweet and innocent she looks. I love how you can see all her new hair coming in on her forehead, how precious.

We decided to get some of baby stuff out of storage and let a friend who was having a baby borrow it. Natalie laid claim on her old bouncy seat!


Here she is reading the Bargain Hunter :)

Rocky, rocky, that's what she says when she rocks on her horsey!

She's still just a scootin' away, no normal crawling or walking for her!

She loves her baby dolls, she even had a sweet little song we call the "Baby Doll" song she would sing for us.

Once again here she is with a baby, one that has a fu-fu.



Month 14
Natalie was watching the Killbuck Early American Day's parade over Labor Day weekend...actually I think she was enjoying playing with the grass more than watching the parade :)

She thinks that she should still be able to use her infant carrier as a chair.


She also thinks her bin of blocks is a nice place to sit.


Natalie and Mommy on their way out for a day of shopping with a good friend and her little boy, who is 8 weeks older than Natalie.


Daddy and Natalie at the zoo. It was Natalie's first trip to the zoo, she wasn't really that into it but we had a fun time with her, Lori, Matt, and Logan. I think she'll really love the zoo this year.


Natalie and Madison playing in the dirt.



Month 15
Trying on her new winter coat and hat, compliments of Aunt Lori. Pretty in pink!



My little punkin pie!


How cute is this? Aunt Cindy made this adorable hat for Natalie for her birthday, she loved it. She and Uncle Tim got the vest for her too!


Dressing up like a butterfly for Halloween.


My first pigtails.


Natalie's 15 month appointment was on 11/7/08 and she weighed 20 lbs. 14 oz. and was 30 1/2 inches tall. What a little peanut.

Month 16

Here's the little monkey showing me how to climb in and out of my Longaberger fruit basket, let me tell you she was so pleased with herself.



Natalie in her Browns jersey from Aunt Lori and Matt. Too cute!

Month 17
Merry Christmas to Natalie!


Here she is in her bean bag, let me tell you this has been the best present ever. I just love walking into the living room seeing her sitting in it watching her favorite cartoons!


Listening to some tunes.

Natalie and her cousin Madison.

Natalie meets Santa for the first time...

and WON'T let her daddy put her down!
Month 18
Where or where did the time go, my little baby girl is 18 months old and actually looks like a little girl and not a baby :( It's so bittersweet seeing her grow up, I love the way she plays and how sweet she is.



For Christmas Santa brought Natalie a potty seat, at first she was really into it but that lasted about a week. Here's her first potty experience (she'll love me for this when she's older!)
At Natalie's 18 month appointment she weighed 22 lbs. 3 oz. and was 31 1/2 inches tall. Still just a little peanut.
