We've got a one-year-old!

Well, Natalie is now officially a toddler! We celebrated her birthday last Wednesday and spent the night before looking at pictures from her real "birth day." It's amazing how much she's changed in just 12 months. Now she's racing around the floor and climbing up on everything and everyone. It's fun watching her develop but it defintely keeps us on our toes!
Here are some pictures from the last week. Natalie took her second trip to the new Ikea store in Tampa and enjoyed some Swedish meatballs with her DaDa. She also loved playing with the toys in the kids area. Mental note: never go to Ikea on a Saturday! Sunday we went to the beach with some friends and Natalie had a ball playing in the sand with her gal pals Scout and Anna and swimming in the water with Mommy and Daddy. We'll definitely take her back again, though it's much more challenging to go to the beach with a baby than it was BN (Before Natalie). We just love seeing the surprise and delight on her face when she tries something new! It's definitely worth the inconvenience of lugging along extra towels and beach toys.
