Talia - 2 Weeks

Talia is starting to grow before our very eyes. Her cheeks have filled out and her little feet are much pudgier than when she left the hospital. Mommy and Daddy have tried to convince her to grow slowly, but she's already rebeling:) She still sleeps for the majority of the day, but has become more alert when she's awake. She'll follow a toy from left to right, struggles to lift her head during tummy time, and loves to stare into your eyes.

Wow, what a great 2-week birthday Talia had yesterday. The city even shot off fireworks in her honor! Mommy and Daddy had friends over for a party since the best view of the fireworks is right from their front yard!


Of course, Talia dressed for the occasion

She watched the fireworks without making a peep. She did startle during the grand finale though, and decided to join in the fun by producing a grand finale of her own:)

On Friday, Mommy and Daddy took Talia to Dow Gardens. It was a wonderful day for a stroll and the flowers were beautiful! Mommy bought a season pass since I'm sure we'll be strolling through the gardens quite regularly this summer. Hopefully, Talia will be awake for one of the strolls, because she definitely snoozed through this one:)

"Oh, I can't wait to come back here!"

Haha, she certainly does look into the Dow Garden's tour. That was very nice of the city to honor Talia like that. She looks adorable in the bubble gum machine dress.
