Yesterday Natalie turned three. Three. It boggles the mind. She’s in the midst of an exhausting phase of testing limits, pushing boundaries, and generally doing everything she can to make things work the way SHE wants them to. At the same time, she is heart-meltingly sweet and loving both to her moms and her brother. There is nothing more amazing than being greeted with an unprompted “I love you, Mama.” Except, possibly, hearing her try to get Teddy’s attention when he’s fussing so that she can make a face or shake a toy to make him smile again.
She’s growing and learning and changing so quickly…
We adore you, wonderful girl.



Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday from us as well. Wasn’t it just yesterday that she was born and we were so desperately waiting for our own baby to come? Unbelievable how time flies!

How did I miss Natalie’s birthday? I hope she had a fabulous day. I love the moses basket pics. I wonder how long she’ll keep letting you take them.
