Funny little girl


Natalie Joy is seriously one of the funniest people I know...at 3 years old, she already makes her Dad and I laugh hysterically. Whether it's something she says, or the way she says it, or something she does, it's pretty evident she's funny! Last Thursday, we wanted to have a family movie night, so I rented "UP" and sat there sobbing during the first 15 minutes of the movie (sorry for that spoiler alert-it was so sad!) and Natalie sat there watching me and said, "Oh, come here sweetie and let me hold you"...I was crying and laughing at the same time as she was "coddling" me. Then on Saturday night, she wanted to watch it again, so we did and guess what, I start crying again and she says, "Oh not again, Mom", but she held me and cooed at me until I settled down.
She has also gotten more into dressing up and makeup...she loves to put it on and pout her lips, and you have to tell her tht she is "beautiful-not pretty", then she'll tilt her head as if she's embarrassed by the compliment. Here is a picture of one of the "aftermaths" of doing makeup herself

Baby Shower



Whoa


Is it REALLY November? October went by so fast! I had so many plans that I wanted to do, and I don't feel like I got them all done!
And now it's rainy and cold...:(

Natalie is getting so big...I look at her somedays and think, "where does she come up with this stuff?" She "membered" the other day, when we had her "Kyndol friend" and "Chancy" and "Trebber" and Ashley over and Daddy and"trebber" ate the wormies. We had tipped over a flower pot and there were a ton of worms underneath. I thought Natalie would flip out, but she picked them up and talked to them :) Andy and Trevor started pretending they were eating the worms and mortified Kyndol and Natalie. ANYWAY, she was "membering" and I thought I would be a good Mom and teach er something "wise", so I asked her if she knew where worms live (like where do they go?) And she said "um, in Perry with me!" I laughed so hard, I nearly ran off the road...she was right! Getting so big!

She's getting so excited for the baby...and so am I...I am ready for it to be here. Since we didn't find out what we're having, I'm a little more anxious for the date of arrival to get here quick! My dear friends held a baby shower for me on October 17 and I got some wonderful items, including lots of diapers and giftcards! The best! Some cute clothes and itty-bitty onesies have been washed and put away for the near future. Now "it" just needs to get here!
