Talia - 46 Weeks

In her 45th week, Talia learned quickly that she can get around - anywhere and everywhere - she so desires. Talia will soon acquire a new nickname: TORNADO T! Here are some pictures of Tornado T in action, or in some cases, the mess she leaves behind.

Every week, Tally learns new tricks and new ways to express her personality. Here are a few for the past week:

1. Eating cereal puffs: She now LOVES cereal puffs. She has just recently realized the power of her thumb and pointer finger. When she successfully gets one in her mouth, she looks for you to start clapping and she claps too!
2. Finding the smallest piece of dirt: Truly, she is either very observant or takes after her daddy and just wants things to be clean!
3. Walking slowly with her piano: Her legs are no longer tree trunks rooted to the floor. She will slowly cross the room pushing her piano, carefully lifting one leg after the other.
4. Stuffed Animals: Talia LOVES them. She has many already (so don't go buy her a bunch more). She'll spot her 'friend' from across the room, crawl long distances to arrive at the animal, pick it up, squeeze it hard, start giggling when she sees its face, and talk to it for a while. The funniest part is her giggling. She won't really pay much attention unless she's looking at the animal's face. It must crack her up:)
5. Crawling to find Mommy or Daddy: She knows she can get wherever she wants now. You put her down in the living room with her toys and walk into the kitchen for a drink? Within 30 seconds she'll be waving at you from a few steps away.

This week was a busy one. Tally had a playdate on Monday evening, Mommy was in Texas for work on Tuesday, swim class was Wednesday evening, and there was much to explore in between!
