Practice

This is my test run for Talia's birthday cake. Tomorrow is my mom's birthday and she will be down here so her cake is the practice cake. It seemed like a complex process so I thought it would be good to try it before Talia's birthday.

I know it is still early but...

I was at Target today and they have the cutest baby swimsuits. I know it will be a while until it is warm enough for her to wear it. They didn't have this one at the Target I usually go to, and it was the only one in the size I wanted to get her, so it bought it.

Spring is on its way!

The weather has been so sunny and warm recently that it makes me want Spring to hurry up and get here. I'm ready for the snow and cold to go away. Joan got Natalia the most adorable outfit. I put it on her for the first time today, and I thought she looked so cute and ready for warmer weather.

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.

Where does the time go?

How is February almost over? In a month and five days my little girl with be one!

Natalia has almost completely given up crawling now that she is mastering walking. She loves to chase after Lola. Talia looks at Lola and gets a big smile on her face and starts laughing. The minute Lola hears her giggling she knows she is in trouble and gets a nervous look on her face.

It is getting increasingly difficult to get things done during the day because Natalia is just so busy. The good news that now that she is more active she gets more tired. I have to try to get most things done during her naps.

I also dug out my old laptop so that she could type like mommy while I was working on homework. 

Natalia is getting two more teeth. The teeth on each side of her bottom front teeth are coming in. She is so good about getting her teeth. I had no idea they were coming in until I looked in her mouth the other day and saw them poking through her gums.
