Cook's babies

My mom loves all her grandchildren and how could she not? They are all so adorable and have such unique and fun personalities. Notice the newest addition, Lucy Marie, in my mom's arms. She's beautiful and Carter and Kiernan are helping their parents take good care of their little sister.


Natalie hasn't quite gotten the hang of hamming it up for pictures like Kiernan and Ronan have but don't worry, they are working on teaching her.



Check out these two blonde Backyardigan junkies watching TV together:

Party

Just wanted to do a quick post of birthday party pictures. Cook and Howard hosted a little birthday party for my big girl on Sept 5. She had tons of fun with her cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great-grandparents and friends! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with Natalie!

Happy 4th Birthday Natalie

Wow, Natalie is such a big girl now, a 4 year old preschooler! To think that just 4 years ago tonight she was born a 1 lb 6 oz micropreemie. I am so proud of all that she has accomplished in 4 short years and I can't wait to see what she will be able to do after 4 more.
We had a little birthday photo shoot in which Natalie very UNenthusiastically participated.
What mommy, you want me to cooperate? HaHa!

Maybe I will just pick my nose...

Or play with my toy Boots(thanks Kristin!)...

Or lick my knee...

Fine. Is this what you want?

This is as good as it's going to get tonight. I guess she's at least looking at the camera in this one(well, sort of anyway)!
