18 months

Natalie, you just turned 18 months and are truly not a baby any more. 28 lbs and 34 1/2 inches. Life has changed so much lately. You are constantly on the move, climbing things, and re-arranging furniture. We can't keep track of all of the words, your language has exploded. You are even starting to form thoughts- airplane fall down. We are building towers with blocks, and buildings with legos.

Spring is finally here and you love being outside. You love collecting the dropped oranges and juicing them for OJ. We have survived this winter with the movies Cars, Aristocats, Nemo, and Little Einstein. Go Dog Go is a favorite book. You are very particular about which book you want. Your little personality is really showing. And the tantrums have started as well. I am sorry, but I can't let you do things that are dangerous. This stage is all about keeping you from killing yourself as you explore.

We love you more and more each day little girl.

Love, Mom and Dad
