Just another day at the office

Ta-Dah!

Look mom! I can feed myself.

And here I thought she didn't like peas... She wouldn't part those stubborn lips when I tried to feed her, but as soon as she got ahold of the food herself, she thought it was a tasty treat.

All Done

Talullah said her first word(s)... 'All done'! It sounded more like 'ah duh', but we knew what she was talking about.

Nana was feeding her some mango's last week, and I guess she forgot how to use her words.

Instead she resorted to flinging the spoon away from her face, splattering poor nana, and bursting into tears. That's her other version of All Done!

Smashed Taters

When we moved into this house, we found that we had invaded an overpopulated potato bug community. They were somehow weasling their way through doorcracks and we would find them roaming our halls or lounging in our bedroom. This summer we learned that spraying each entryway with poison was the best deterrent so far. Once word got around that there was a deadly barrier, we stopped seeing the nasty little creatures inside. I'm not sure what has happened, but suddenly they are back with a vengence. This is the 3rd monster we have nearly stepped on in our house this week. HELP!!!

Double Trouble

The two weeks of babysitting Bentley were so much fun. Not easy, but fun. The babies followed each other everywhere. I stepped out of the room for merely a second, and somehow they managed to open the container of cheerios.

Talullah absolutely loves her signing video that Katy let us borrow. To get a few minutes to sit and catch my breath, I put in the dvd and let the kids bounce, bounce, bounce.

Love Is In The Air

Nick & I had such a great week in Carlsbad, waking up to sunshine, enjoying morning walks to the beach and daily trips to Starbucks... ahhhhh.... vacation. Sarah's wedding was spectacular and Talullah was at her very best. Suddenly a social butterfly, she's letting everyone hold her without the immediate fuss fit. Our little girl is growing up!

A week later was Pam's wedding, another beautiful ceremony. How fantastic to spend quality time with old girlfriends who know much too much about you. By old... I don't mean we're old, of course!

Sugar & Spice

And everything nice. That's what my little girl is made of. Thanks Megan for taking such great shots of Taley. Next time, lets do a double shoot with BOTH girls! ;)
