Natalie's Words, 18 Months

Because this is our blog, I can write a post which is totally boring to everyone but Tyler and I. And the beauty is that you all can ignore it! Yay! This is one of those posts...


I wanted to do something special to mark Natalie's 18 month birthday. Our friends Todd and Kearsley created the most gorgeous composite of their daughter Maya for her 18 month birthday, but we just don't have Photoshop skills to do anything quite so beautiful *sigh*. However, I am a fast typist and a relatively thorough person, so I decided to create a list of Natalie's vocabulary at 18 months. These are the words she can be reliably expected to say many, many times a day. There are other things she's trying out (thank you, etc.) but she doesn't say these things reliably enough for them to have made the 18 month list.
