Can’t decide which picture I like more, so posting both 🙂

15 MarToddler Gym!

Tahlia had her first experience with a preschool type setting when I took her to this open gym they have for toddlers in a local community center, complete with all the toys you could want and even bouncy castles. I set her down on the floor and for a while she just wanted to cling to my leg! After a while she got comfortable though and was going from toy to toy figuring out what each one does. Fun times! I think we’re going to go every week now.

02 MarVancouver Trip

Tahlia took her first journey outside the country this past weekend, and had a lot of fun with Auntie Etetu and her cousins. It dumpd snow as soon as we got there so we did a lot of staying inside.

OK here she is crying — but I think it was really because she didn’t want them to leave! Right? haha… Fun times!

18 FebThe Great Outdoors

She’s getting more comfortable with walking around outside. Here she is at the playground and in the alley behind the house. She wanted to break into a neighbor’s yard through the fence!

08 FebThe First Birthday

Well, Tahlia celebrated her first birthday 3 weeks ago!! Leave it to Daddy to be late posting on the most important milestone so far.

I can’t really put into words what it’s like to see my little baby walking around and starting to verbalize her thoughts and feelings. She is so so smart and brings me so much joy every day. I still have to pinch myself thinking I really, really have a daughter?! A healthy, happy and bright little girl. There’s no greater blessing. Happy Birthday, Tali from Mommy and Daddy.

The party was HUGE and Tia Marivel’s house felt like it was going to burst but all in all everyone had a good time.  It was good having Auntie Etetu there.  Mom just want to say sorry for taking so long to get pictures up. I left my camera at Belly’s for a week!

Bring on the cake!

Her tutu was too cute

I think we’re starting to look alike. At least that’s what everyone was saying lol
