Natalie's Birthday Party

Since this is so late, I'll keep the narrative to a minimum with brief blurbs about the pics:

The cake (it got dropped before I could get a good picture; thankfully it was still in the cake case so it didn't fall onto the floor directly)

Faithfulness

Remember our "Fruits of the Spirit" devotion? Here's to faithfulness!

A Few of Natalie's Firsts

Down the stairs... and back up! Recorded January 25

Walking Recorded April 3. She started walking a little bit before this, but this shows her getting quite good. Now we can't keep up with her!

Videos From the Past few Months

I'v e given each video a brief description.View them as you wish.

Natalie's first word... "Cat." Granted, here, she's calling Bobo the Bear a cat, but you get the idea. And, just like Steven saying "yum yum yum" years ago, Natalie has also given us a bonus word, "Dada."

Natalie giggles... Just because every parent relishes their child's laughter.

Steven sings the ABC's... You gotta hear how he ends it. No sharing for Steve, thank you very much!
