Not a Baby Anymore

I never post to this blog, I know. But I think about it quite often. I took the day off to stay home with Natalie today (day care is closed this week), so I actually have the time. Yay!

Here are some recent photos of Natalie. You can see that she really looks like a little girl now. And, you can tell from the outfit (self-selected, of course) that we have entered a new phase of toddler-hood. She has obviously discovered dresses. Check out the cowgirl boots too. And she is all about doing her own thing these days -- "me do it," "no touch," and "that's me's" (that's mine) are the catch phrases du jour. And the attitude is there too, in case you were wondering. But, we're having a blast watching this new phase begin . . . at least when Natalie isn't throwing a five-alarm tantrum.

Does anyone else see a lot of "Mimi" in this photo?
