Earning Her Badge

Because of the busyness of the last few weeks, I am definitely behind on blog updates. Talia achieved an important milestone two weeks ago. I will let her shirt speak for me.

My attempts at photography leave much to be desired. Talia's shirt reads, "crawling along."

We marked the date of her first awkward but successful crawling movements as May 6. Within a few days, she was a confident and happy crawler. Now Talia crawls, moves from sitting to crawling (and the reverse), and is pulling herself up onto her knees.

Be proud of me!

Two weeks have brought about amazing changes in her life and, consequently, ours. Talia is happier and finds plenty to amuse her. Mommy and Daddy are busy training and monitoring her. Gone are the days of washing the dishes while Talia plays happily in her rainforest. By the time I rinse the first dish, Talia has crawled accross the room and is about to enter the kitchen. It is a joy to watch her move around the room to play and explore. Talia melts my heart every time she turns away from her toys and crawls to my feet. Needless to say, play pen time has become extremely valuable.

Here are a few more pictures of the events of the last month. Check back in the next few days for our trip to Balboa.

The above pictures show Talia and Anna at play. This was the first time the girls showed mutual interest in each other, making their play more fascinating for us to watch.

Talia loves geocaching!

Isn't this my foot?

Hotchkiss Hill

We planted a cache at the above location.

As mentioned before, there are plenty more pictures to post from our trip. Hopefully I can get them up in the next few days.

Thanks for updating the blog!

I guess it is okay none of your pictures show you, Erin as I realized you were in a bunch I posted.

It was fun to see Talia crawling and playing.

Hooray for Talia! The world is so much more exciting if you can engage in a good crawl. Personally, I prefer walking, but there's plenty of time for that!

Hurray for baby Talia. They never slow down from there though. :-)

Great pictures and glad that Talia is crawling now!

Happy belated anniversary. :)
