9/17

first birthday as a parent. interesting, but not too different just yet. of course, she had no idea that it was my birthday. Amy helped her make a card for me. very sweet.

i did take a video of Natalie playing along with one of her toys. this toy is courtesy of Marty and Kari. thanks you two, she enjoys it much like you said Brooke does. you will see (and sadly hear) me along with her Uncle Jason in this video. Amy and Aunt Leslie are off camera. i know, they should have been on, but what do you do? i have some pictures i will post soon and i promise that Amy will be in at least one.

Jason and Les came down to have dinner with us for my birthday. they brought some Indian food down with them. we can't get that in Glendale (shocker, right?). in order to not offend her other uncle, David, he did take me out to lunch today. way to step up big bros.

in the video, pay attention to her face on the second play of the tune. very cute.
