Love is in the air

Eric and Johanna had a beautiful wedding at the Benbow Inn Sunday Feb. 21st. It was an intimate setting surrounding by a few friends and family to help them celebrate, and we had a great time. Talullah, of course, thinks every party is meant for her. She does her very best to be the center of attention everywhere she goes.

Away we go

We spent the weekend in Ashland and while Talullah decided that sleeping at night just wasn't something she wanted to do this trip, she was such a doll during the day. It's absolutely ridiculous how much attention she gets everywhere we go. It takes us twice as long to get shopping done because everyone is coming up to talk to Miss T. She makes goo goo eyes at everyone passing and waves at anyone who looks at her. How on earth did we get such a beautiful, silly little girl?

Look what I can do!!!

Talullah seems to be picking up something new every day. Her new favorite thing is to feed herself. This is so difficult for me, being the narotic clean freak that I am, but it's fun to watch her be so independent. She takes twice as long to eat and only gets half as much in her mouth, but she refuses to let us help.

She can also

* sign & say 'hat'

* say kii cat and chase after Annabelle

* blow rasberries on my belly

* tickle you, too!8

* she is learning to blow kisses

* run for the door when you ask if she wants to go outside

* rock-a-bye her baby dolls

I love her loving most of all. She gives such good hugs and gentle, closed mouth kisses.

Simply Stunning

We had a photo shoot with Megan the weekend before T's birthday. She was being such a little stinker and refused to smile for the camera. Such a serious face! My little girl sure does love cake though!

A year? Already?!

Happy birthday, Talullah. Wow. In twelve months she went from a tiny 7 lb 5 oz baby so dependent on her parents to hold her gently. She learned to scoot, crawl, walk, climb. She got two teeth. She claps, dances, waves goodbye, and gives the most wonderful hugs and kisses. She sleeps in crib all night long and someday... someday... she'll even be done nursing. Every day I'm amazed at how beautiful and perfect this little girl is. And she's mine!

Finally!!!

I can gather a pony tail!!! Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy. I can not WAIT for there to be enough of these little blonde curls to fit into pigtails. Then braids. And twists. And little poofs. Bows, ribbons, clips, flowers. The fun will never end!!!

A Big, Fat No-No

I turn around for one second... No more leaving the latch undone, I guess.
