It’s been quite a ride.
For starters, she didn’t seem to like much.
Inside me, she didn’t like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I got sick whenever I ate one. It was cruel.
She didn’t like her adorable headbands
Or her bunny hats
Her carseat OR her carseat toys that I bought hoping she'd learn to LIKE her carseat
Her warm fuzzy outfit
Her bouncer
Being called a tax deduction
Her adorable pink hat
Grass
Cake on her fingers
(And, my longtime readers will recall as she learned how to speak she would boldy say, "I don't YIKE this!")
But…
She always ALWAYS loved her Daddy.
And allowed me to dress her in various outfits:
Before I knew it she was one…
Two…
Three…
Four…
And now she’s 5.
It’s been a fun ride.
Happy Birthday, Natalie.

Happy birthday, Natalie!
ReplyDeleteI do remember her "I don't YIKE this!" phase. It was always funny :) I burst out laughing at the picture of her sitting in the grass like "WHAT is that poking on my butt and legs? Spiky things ewwwww" is what she looks like she's saying.
ReplyDeleteShe is such a beautiful child. SO beautiful. But you knew that already! Happy Birthday Natalie Rapunzel!

Happy Birthday, Natalie! She's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteShe's absolutely gorgeous! Happy Birthday, Natalie!
ReplyDeleteShe is just so cute! All of her "crying" pictures make me think of all the pictures I have of my almost 5 year old - but instead of crying we constantly seemed to take her picture while she was pooping. No one would really know this but us since we recognize "the face" she constantly made!

ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Loved the pictures timeline. All the crying pictures...so funny (and I'm wondering if it's wrong to think they were so cute when clearly she was not happy). And seriously...BEST outfits EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your Natalie!
ReplyDelete(I have quite a few pictures of my Natalie with the exact same face!) She just says "No (blank) for me!" when she doesn't like something.
