Thanks to friends Krystal and Bob, Natalie had a fun New Year's Eve. She LOVED playing the drums in their basement! All that work making music really tires a 3 year old out though and she crashed on their living room floor around 11pm!
Natalie has always loved music but as she gets older she is getting more and more opinionated about her favorites. Right now she loves just about anything by Pink (especially when her buddy Luke is singing it) and she loves listening to the Les Miserables soundtrack in the car. Below is a little video I caught of her "reading" her musical Backyardigans book from Amy and Brian:
I am mom to Natalie Elizabeth, a strong and feisty 8 year old born, along with her twin brother Andrew John, nearly 17 weeks early on 9/2/06. Andrew passed away on 9/4/06 and Natalie spent 110 days in the NICU. As a result of her premature birth she has Cerebral Palsy. Despite her challenges, she is constantly doing new and amazing things and surprising everyone!
