18 Months Old!


I had high hopes of getting the perfect smiley close up picture for a "Natalie-is-18-months-old-Can-you-believe-it-Where-does-the-time-go" post but this little busy toddler of ours doesn't stand still for pictures anymore and when she does I'm not usually quick enough with the camera to capture a grin.

But, I actually love this picture because it represents these days of toddler hood so well.

First of all, she's standing on the dining room chair after I'd asked her to "sit down, please" at least a dozen times. She's got something dribbled all over her shirt which is how she spends a lot of the day lately. And then there's this Pebbles Flinstone inspired ponytail on top of her head which is the result of a mommy and daddy not quite emotionally ready to give her a very much needed first haircut.

Love you, Natalie Ann....Happy 1/2 Birthday!
