Inside Natalie's Closet

It’s no secret that I love to buy my children clothes. So occasionally I’ll do a post where I’ll show pictures of them in their latest outfit. This one is by (guess?) Gymboree from the Merry and Bright line.

-----------------------

Hey Natalie, want to take some pictures?



Okay, do you want to smile for me?





Can you stop sticking your tongue out?



That’s her innocent I’m-not-doing-anything look. Tom thinks it’s adorable, I think that usually when she’s made that face that I’m about to find some sort of catastrophe. One time she had squeezed chocolate syrup over the kitchen floor and claimed that she was “cleaning” it.



This was Natalie’s reaction when I told her that one day Charlie Sheen could give up booze.

Then she told me that she was going to run into the side of the house.



“Natalie, what do you think about the fact that Justin Beiber has a movie coming out about his life next month in 3D?"



(My reaction too.)

I ran into the side of the house and made inappropriate noises which in turn made her smile for me.












Some people ask if I’d consider getting Natalie into modeling. Sure. So long as the photographer was willing to run into the wall.

I work in advertising and deal with kid talent all the time. It's a brutal world. I wouldn't stop you though, she's gorgeous and her personality really shines through in these pics!

It's cute clothes like this that make me wish I had girls... Then I snap back into reality and remember me and my sisters growing up and am thankful I have boys :) Natalie is adorable!

She's so pretty! And I love her outfit. Little girls have the best options for clothing.

You need to send these pictures to the headquarters for Gymboree! She is just too beautiful not to be modeling!

The Queen said...

Sooo cute! I was seriously obsessed with this line. I bought a vest, 3 shirts, a bodysuit, skirt, 2 dresses, a hat, leggings and tights, and hair curlies. I went a little nuts haha.

I love that outfit...Dr. Suess's "Are You My Mother?" was my favorite book.

She is so funny. I love her spirit and you are the best photographer for her!

Coming here makes me smile!

Yeah, I'm like a surrogate grandma--I can't get enough of her. She's totally too cute! Keep 'em coming... Here's the sad truth-- I actually get to see more pictures of her than of my own granddaughter! Yikes!

Mrs.Mayhem said...

Such a gorgeous girl! She could be a model!

Cheryl D. said...

She really does look like she belongs in a catalog! She's adorable!

Carrie said...

I must ask...WHAT do you do with the clothes when she outgrows them? Because she has so many, I rather doubt they get worn out.

Love the sweater. I wish my girls would wear sweaters...and cute hats. Booo, I have anti-fashion girls

A friend of mine has toddler clothes hanging in a closet with the tags on. She doesnt have a toddler, so I asked. "They were too cute to pass up; I give them as gifts to baby showers, birthday parties, etc." Is that normal?

Queenie Jeannie said...

Super cute outfit!! I'd have bought it too!

The Blue Zoo said...

Omg, she is just so freaking adorable!

Cheryl D. said...

I have a surprise for you at my blog!

Maggi said...

Sherri said...

Oh!! Look at her cuteness! Love the innocent face!

etoile said...

Umm wow! SHe is just the cutest little button! Have you ever seen toddlers and tiaras? Don't get her into modelling; she's too precious!

K A B L O O E Y said...

Well, yes, she is one of the planet's cutest humans.
But you get credit too, as it's not easy to get such great shots, even if the subject is twelve kinds of adorable.
Especially difficult to take great shots while running into the sides of houses.

Sara said...

I'm glad she already understands that Justin Bieber and Charlie Sheen are on the same level of embarrassing.
