Natalie is 4!

 

And just like that…my middle little is 4! I remember Baylee turning 4, and it just felt like such a big number, and this time with Natalie is no exception. Four is the end of the toddler/preschooler days, she’s finding her own independence, and I know I’m going to blink and she will be a 5-year-old in full-time school. But for now, I’m going to try my best to soak up this precious, innocent age! ☺️

My sweet little creature of habit. Six of her answers are repeats from last year, because my girl stays faithful to what she loves. 😉 

Natalie is growing like a little weed. She’s currently in 4T clothes and a size 8 shoe. She started school and dance this year, and has come out of her shell so much. She doesn’t command attention, but has a huge sense of humor that keeps us all laughing all day long. She has taken on her big sister roll flawlessly, and loves to play and spend time with baby Evelyn. Her favorite things in the world are her books, stuffed animals, and princess dresses. Her and Baylee spend most of their time at home in the playroom playing school, restaurant, or “princess party” and even though they fight sometimes, they are the best of friends.

Natalie is one smart cookie, and school has definitely helped her! She can now recognize all 26 letters and numbers 1-10. She is also starting to get the hang of what sound every letter makes and how to write them. She can fully spell and recognize her name, and knows all her shapes and colors (even semicircle!) I’m so proud of my big girl!

Happy 4th Birthday, “Baby Mine”, I love you to the moon and back, and I hope this year is as amazing as you! 💕
