Future firefighter

Natalie and I had a great time touring the fire department yesterday. She loves fire trucks, and getting to climb inside one was a pretty exciting thing. I was amazed to learn that I can stand up straight inside a fire truck. Those things are huge! Natalie left with her own firefighter's hat, and she was in 7th heaven.

Suddenly Two

Natalie celebrated her 2nd birthday 2 days after Christmas. A few days later I looked at her and thought, where did my baby go? She is adorable, and she is definitely a little girl now. Although she's still my baby, she's not a baby. Anyway, enough of the semantics. She is growing! She has more hair. She has more personality. She rides a trike. It is so exciting to see her grow up! This is Natalie at age 2, age 1, and as a newborn.
