Happy First Birthday Baby Girl!

As you can tell, we're a little behind on our posting, but we figured we better share some pictures from Natalie's actual birthday as well. Natalie's first birthday started out with Happy Birthday and blueberry pancakes, which quickly became a very messy, but yummy experience. Then Josh was off to Annapolis for Greg's wedding, one of his friends from college. Kaija and Natalie spent the morning at the park for Grayson's 1 1/2 birthday celebration. Grayson's birthday is on Christmas, so his parents had the great idea to celebrate his birthday halfway in between! Natalie had a great time watching all the big kids run around and got her first taste of pizza, which she loved That afternoon Kaija and Natalie were off Skye's to play in the baby pool with Mallory and then on to a girls only date at Red Robin for dinner. It was Natalie's first experience eating off the kids menu. Her and Mallory shared grilled cheese and melon, which she devoured. The wait staff came over and sang Happy Birthday to her and delivered an ice cream sundae. While we're trying to keep her away from sweets, since it was her birthday we couldn't resist. Of course she loved it and kept opening her mouth like a little birdie. Hopefully the next year doesn't go by as fast as the first!
