I could babble on for awhile about what has been going on, but I know what you really want is pictures.
Who am I kidding? You know I have to say some things. Those of you who haven't seen Natalie in awhile would be very impressed with how she has grown lately. I am not just talking about size, although she does seem to be a foot taller every week. Her personality is really starting to flourish, as is her vocabulary. She is forming complete sentences and using the proper pronouns and occasionally the correct tense. It really is amazing. Here are some examples.
While lying in bed going through the nighttime routine, I turned to say something and she lowered the book she was holding and promptly told me, "Quiet, Baba. I tryin' to reading."
We were really impressed with this one: "Mama, please open the door; I can't."
When Amy told her the microwave wasn't working right, she responds "Well, haffa get a new one." While haffa isn't exactly an English word, it is still real cute.
We are just so proud of her and astounded at how far she has come. Enough with my talk and on with the show, I suppose. In these you will see just some general summer pics as well as shots with her friend Lily at the grand fireworks show at the LaRue County Sportsman's Lake on Saturday. Seriously, it really was a great display put on by Lily's Uncle Andy and we had a good time. There are pics from a gathering at my parents' on Sunday. Finally, some shots with Amy's family on the 4th.
