Our Baby Is Growing Up So Fast!

I am amazed at how much Talia learns and grows every day. Whether it is pulling off her mittens, righting herself as she starts to tip over, or having "ah ha" moments as she discovers she can knock on the door, we can see her little mind constantly at work.

Talia's second tooth broke through on Monday. While new teeth are a big change, I think I am most amazed at her ability to sit up. It seems that our Talia has gone from dependent baby to independent little girl as she sits and plays. We love to watch her look at an object, pick it up, play with it, put it down, then grab another toy and begin the process again. Sometimes she decides that one toy is not enough. She gets her teething ring around her arm, her book on her lap, and one block in each hand. I call this multitasking. Here are a few pictures of our big baby.

Long Talia!

Talia won't be pinched this St. Patrick's Day! If you click on the picture and look at a larger size, you should be able to see at least one of her new teeth.

Happy Baby

Our friends' son Spencer turned one this week. He had a circus themed birthday party. It was very fun for all ages. Here is Spencer with his mommy.

Spencer's family incorporated some first birthday activities from the Korean culture. Here he is in traditional attire with his daddy.

In true circus theme, Pinky the clown entertained us all. Talia was curious of this lady whose uniqueness rivaled Mommy's. She watched Pinky,

Almost as strange as Mommy

Looked at Mommy for reassurance,

What should I think about clowns?

Then watched her some more.

Talia took turns watching the clown and playing with toys.

We both had loads of fun!

Yup, she's a girl - multi-tasking.

Another tooth and sitting up. How grown up.

Can't wait to see you again, Precious!

Ooooh no! Someone used up all of the cuteness in the world (very nearly). There's none left for me! That's okay, though, I'm beyond needing it much.
