My little girl is 1!

Happy Birthday Natalie!

Wow, has it really already been a year? It has flown by. It seems like just the other day we brought your 7lbs. 8oz. tiny little body home. We got off to a pretty crazy start with us living in Rock Hill for your 1st week and then the hotel for 2 months. But since then we've been pretty settled here in Cameron where we are all happy. You have been so much fun to have around. We all love watching you learn to do new things like your 1st smiles, laughs, learning to sit up, crawl, and now even walk. Just to let you know though, when you are all grown up and look back on this, I just have to tell you you were not always the easiest of babies. There is no doubt you love your mom and like to be with her every second of the day (which I don't really mind too much). At first, you weren't real crazy about sleeping for long periods of time either. I'm glad you do a much better job at that now. You seemed to always be hungry and made sure everybody knew it. But those little things don't even compare to the good times we have had this year. I love to watch you play with your brothers (and stand your ground I might add). I love to watch you smile and run to your daddy when he walks in the door. I love it when we lay on the couch at night and you fall asleep in my arms and how peaceful you look when you are sleeping. I love to watch you eat your supper handfuls at the time shoveling it in like you've never eaten before. What a beatiful little girl you are and I am so proud to be your mommy. I love you so much and can't wait to see what this next year has in store for you. Happy Birthday Natty.

Love, Momma, Daddy, Ryan, and Cale
