Talia loves Daddy

One of Talia's favorite things to do is read books with Daddy.

She needs to see what Daddy is doing on his phone.

She loves this polo. If it is anywhere within her reach she will grab it. Jon put it on her because she likes it so much.

Busy Baby

This morning Natalia played with a boy that lives in our building who just turned 9 months. Within the first 30 seconds of sitting on the floor next to him, Talia tried to kiss him like she kisses her bears.

A second ago she was walking all over the place holding her boyfriend bear's arm as she explored. Then she decided to take a break by lying next to him on the floor.

She has always liked books, but it seems like she likes them even more recently. During the day when I work on homework I'll see her sitting and looking at different books. She is very smart. She always is looking at the book right-side-up.

Christmas

Natalia's first Christmas this year was over Thanksgiving in Stephen with my parents. We were planning on spending Christmas in Minneapolis, so Talia got to open presents then.

Her second Christmas was when Jon's grandparents came to visit. She got this adorable coat and hat. The outfit also came with a muff that you can see on the floor.

We ended up going back to Stephen over Christmas so that Jon could put down new flooring in my parents' kitchen. We had our final Christmas last Sunday with his family.

You can see all over her new toys around her and there she is chewing on the book that came with one of her outfits.

Happy Friday!

Today is Friday! It already felt like the weekend because Talia and I got to spend all day with Jon yesterday because it was cold and rainy.

Natalia is so much more like a little girl now and not a like a little baby. Everyone tells you how fast time goes with a baby, but I don't think that anyone realizes it until they have one.

She is getting so smart. I'm sure everyone thinks that their baby is so smart, but ours definitely is. I love it when she is in her farm and she drops something over the edge. She gets on her tippy toes and peeks over to see where it went.

Teeth

I have been so busy recently that the blog has been neglected a little. Natalia has been a busy little girl. She is very interested in her friend Lola. When she sees Lola she laughs which is really cute. She still isn't crawling yet. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks. She is getting very good at scooting. She can pull herself along the floor to pretty much any place she wants to go. I had her on the floor yesterday while I was taking a test and found her a couple minutes later half-way across the floor under a chair.

I finally got a picture of her two little teeth that are coming in. I can't believe she's getting teeth and is going to be 6 months on Monday. We are very excited for her to start eating food. Each day she gets more personality and smiles more. With her added personality she also gets more frustrated by things. When she gets tired she fights sleep for as long as she can.

Morning Nap

This morning I went to go check on Natalia because she was playing in her crib. We can't leave her on the couch anymore because she will roll off, so I decided while I was working on my homework she could stay in her crib. Talia has a baby photo album that you can put picutures in, but she can still drool and chew on the pages. I found her asleep on a picture of her and her daddy.
