Talia at 7 months

Our youngest is well into the 2nd half of her first year. Hard to believe for us. She recently decided that food was okay. Still not passionate about it, but a bit more willing to eat a bit, especially if she can hold it. She may just be our little independent one. Already insisting on feeding herself cheerios, bread, bananas, avacados and whatever else she can get her little hands on. Much as mommy is trying to advance her one simple food at a time, she is proving to be the typical 3rd child who eats more adventurously than the tenious first child (due to what is provided & "at hand").

She is now 15 pounds and just about 26 inches. Mostly a content little girl with big squeals, grins, and giggles. Of course, Talia has also learned how to show her frustration and voice her disapproval. Better to get those emotions out than bottle them up!

She is pretty confident in sitting independently and has started trying to transition into positions more conducive to crawling. Always trying to learn (and maybe keep up with those two older brothers). Jadon's nickname for Talia is "TuTu" and has kind of stuck. This little shirt saying "Tutu cute" makes us smile thinking of the special bond of siblings.
