Pinkalicious and KEG

We spent some time with Kiernan and Lucy tonight at Cook and Howard's house while Carter and Lauren went to cheer on the Flyers. Natalie tried on her new Pinkalicious dress and used her Talker to tell us what she wanted to eat and drink. It was a fun night!

Mardi Gras cookies!

Finally -- her own Vantage Lite!

After a year and a half of waiting, Medicaid finally approved Natalie's AAC, the Vantage Lite, and she received it last week.  There will be many more videos to come showing how well she is already using it, but for now, here is one that Cook took last week of Natalie enjoying her new Talker. 

Fall pictures

These are just a few of the amazing pictures that Mandy of Legacy Pics took of Natalie back in October.  She also got some great pictures of my sister's family and some of the 3 kids together. 

Curls!

My friend Heidi gave Natalie a curly hairdo today!   My mom pointed out that Natalie has the hair that I always wanted as a child - long, blonde and curly!  Notice in the pictures that she can't decide whether she wants to read the book or watch the show playing on the ipod.  Love my little cutie!

All that's missing is the popcorn

There's not much that's as fun as watching a Barbie movie with friends Aliya, Liam, and Kiersen on a Saturday night.
