Mama

Lately Natalie wants to do everything just like I do it. The other day while getting dressed she told me, "Mama, I'm trying really hard to look just like you." It's incredibly sweet, and I'm trying to remember all of her little imitations because I know without a doubt that this won't last forever. She wants her hair to be long like mine, and she insists on wearing a cross-body purse like mine, and she loves to help me clean "because we're the mamas".

Here she is hanging her clothes like a mama along with some attempts at a nice smile. She knows that she is supposed to pose for the camera, but she still isn't quite sure how. These were the best of many many "cheeeeeeeeeeese" shots :)
