Natalie's World

August 31, 2007: Natalie eating her Sonic lunch...

This is Natalie drinking her Sprite. Poppa cut her her straw so that it would be short enough to drink while sitting in her high chair. You just don't realize how far we hold a cup away from our face when we are drinking with a straw until you see the child struggling to do it in her high chair.

This will be last post for a few days and my last one for August 2007 since tomorrow is September. Wow this year is going by fast. They all have since Natalie has been born. The last two years have really flown by and of course she has really grown and changed so much the last 25 months. This week also marked her 25 month birthday. I will never forget what was happening 2 years ago on one month birthday...Hurricane Katrina. I still remember for weeks on end watching it on CBN and all the regular news while playing with our little one-month old....while trying to get her to laugh and smile at us...many people had lost their homes and lives. It is still so hard to believe that happened so close to home. I couldn't help, but think about people with little babies like Natalie and how hard it must be for them. My heart and prayers will really went out for them. It is so hard to believe that so many of them are still recovering and that babies like Natalie still turned into toddlers the last two years.

I thank God for our sweet little Natalie. She has brought so much joy into so many lives (yes, lot of work), but she certainly keeps things lively! We all love you so much, Natalie!
