Ships Away!

Lunch with the Aunts - such a well behaved baby even in the sailor moon get-up. She loved seeing her cousin - a Mommy has to wonder if she remembers her cousin. The school picture on the fridge of Mina gets the biggest smiles and she follows Mina with her eyes everywhere. Miss Mina is also a big helper.

Happy New Year! My first bottle of non-alcoholic bubbly and playing on my piano.

Tali's First Christmas

Tali's World: " The wrapping paper just makes me crazy.....and with all these presents I almost got lost in my stocking. Good thing I can hang out with my buddy Jake for awhile."

The first Christmas has come and gone. Life lessons learned: let your family help as much as possible, especially if your whole family is just coming off a nasty bout with the stomach flu. Wrapping paper will get eaten the minute you turn your head. Any baby loves it when someone says, "ho, ho, ho" all the time. One car does not fit all the presents, a baby and a dog. Lastly, if you can swing it - Mommy and Daddy need a little R&R after two family-filled days with too much eating.

I'm a little bear..

I'm a little bear so cuddly and warm, hear me growl and hear me yawn. When I get grumpy the whole world knows, pick me up and to sleep I go..

Such a happy girl and getting to be so smiley. Smile baby - keep smiling - even in dresses, as a green M&M and hanging out with your cousin and grandpa.

A friendly little Lion

The first Halloween. Our little lion didn't look too impressed but she got to attend a town event where Mommy strolled around on the unseasonably warm October morning. Mommy and Daddy also got a ton of candy. We also visited the neighbours to say hello.

Tali, "What are you looking at? Obviously I'm uncomfortable in this silly costume - how would you like to wear something so stuffed you can't even sit properly?"
