Inside Natalie's Closet

Occasionally I’ll do a post where I’ll share an outfit in Natalie’s closet since I love to go clothes shopping for her.

This one is from Gymboree and she wore it for her birthday. I loved it. They have number shirts up to 5.

Oh, and Natalie insists that her hair be in braids these days. That’s why her hair is always the same in pictures. I try to do pigtails or just leave it down and this insults her greatly. So braids it is.




“No pictures,” Natalie informed me.

“Oh, well, okay, guess I’ll put the camera away,” I answered. I started to go inside.



“WAIT! I’ll do pictures,” Natalie said sweetly.



Have I mentioned her moods change in an instant?

Although Tom would point out that my moods can also change in an instant. He claims one minute I’m cheerful and the next I’m telling him to pick up his dirty socks or else I’ll stuff them down his throat. I don’t call that changing moods, I call that wanting to avoid dirty socks.

Anyway.

I ran into the house and got Natalie to smile:











Then she asked if she could watch Yo Gabba Gabba and I said no, because the show scares me and I can only take one episode per day.



Natalie called me rude.

She quickly got over it when she found a leaf.





I’m glad the little things amuse her. Me too. For instance, if animals make a funny noise I’ll probably laugh about it for ten minutes. Like there was a goose on the side of the road, and it suddenly honked and I found this downright hilarious.

“Say goodbye to the blog readers!” I pressed.

And she did this:

So cute! My kids are funny with the photo shoots too - this is awesome. Just about sums it up :)

I was wondering where you had gotten that birthday shirt - thanks for sharing! It is super cute! And with a tutu, naturally, makes it perfect!

She slays me. I think her cuteness might take over the world one day.

Love the birthday suit! She's so pretty. T is obsessed with braids, too. I think they're adorable!

Kimberly said...

I cannot resist her cuteness. Can't. If she asked me for a pony I'd hunt one down and kill it for her...wait...I meant...I'd buy her one.
I was bit by a pony once. I've been terrified of them ever since.

Your Natalie's Closet posts always make me feel a little bad about dressing Skye in her brother's hand-me-downs. She does have some pricessy clothes too. So one days she's wearing her glittery "I'm the Princess" t-shirt and the next it's a black Pirate's of the Caribbean shirt with skulls on it. I like to think of this as well-rounded. Her future therapist may diagnose it as multiple personality disorder.

I love the last picture she is a character! And gorgeous she should be a Gymboree poster girl!

cutefatgirl said...

She is beautiful! I love that she wanted to be asked to do the pictures.

Ed said...

She's adorable as always.

Like your own tiny dress up doll.

Except with more outfits that Barbie, and less gay Ken's running around.

Midnight Cowgirl said...

She is too cute!

Allyson &amp; Jere said...

Lucky you. At least she INSISTS on her hair being done in some way. Mine just looks like a wayward orphan most of the time, because I'm tired of fighting the battle of the hair.

As always...she's darling.

blueviolet said...

Her smiles are so worth it! She's really beautiful, A!!!!

Samantha Sotto-Yambao said...

Cheryl D. said...

Yeah, well she might be cute and all, but I'm sticking my tongue back at her!

Cause I'm mature like that!

LisaDay said...

What! I just stole her tongue and I am running straight at the house.

Myya said...

Serious cuteness here! The sweet girl, the outfit, the whole darn package :)

Myya said...

Oh & I am completely envisioning all 3 of my girls in this outfit 5,3 &1... how fun would that be! Too bad Gymboree doesn't make it that easy to afford LOL.

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

It's like she has been genetically engineered for cuteness. She's like the Six Million Dollar Man of cute.
