Pool

Grandma Wood bought Talia her very own pool. She really seemed to have fun in the water and the pool was the perfect size for her. Recently the weather has been feeling like summer is over and fall is already here, but I think we'll have a few more warm days where Talia can use the pool.

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.

Sundays at Grandma Wood's House

We go over to Jon's parents' house every Sunday. His mom has so many bears in the guest bedroom and I've been wanting to take Talia's picture with them. She can finally sit up enough that I put her amongst all of the bears. The pictures are really cute.

Talia's two favorite ways to play

Trip to Stephen

Talia is so funny. I'll walk in to check on her when she is napping and she will be awake looking around. She loves to stare at herself in the mirror in her crib or she will appear to be reading the letters on her quilt. The other day I woke up and she was already awake. She had rolled onto her tummy and was watching me.

She tries to crawl. She has the motions down, but isn't quite strong enough. She will roll back and forth from her back to her tummy, but she mainly just pivots around. She can move a lot more though. I'll set her in her play gym and when I look back at her a few minutes later she is in a completely different place from where I saw her last.

This past weekend we went to Stephen. It had been a month and a half since we last saw my parents. It was also a nice time to go up there because my aunt and uncle were visiting from Florida.

My mom bought Natalia her first pair of sunglasses. It rained the whole weekend so she didn't get a chance to wear them outside, but she looked so cute when she was trying them on that I had to take her picture.

One of the nicest parts about going up to Stephen is being able to go visit my grandma. She is 98 and loves to see Natalia. She says that Talia is like a little doll. When we got to the nursing home Talia was still a little groggy from napping. It was really nice because she was still in her cuddly phase and wasn't too squirmy when my grandma held her.

It was nice going to visit, but it is even nicer to get home. Talia missed her farm and seemed to be happy that all of her animals were ok. I think she was a little worried about how they would survive without her playing with them and if they would be alright without a daily drooling.
