One month to go

"I like to move it, move it!" That's Talia's theme song for the month. Just in case, you need help embedding those lyrics, Nate will help you in the following video clip from this spring.

Talia is just one month away from turning 1. She will walk with whomever or whatever will take her. She is starting to stand by herself very briefly and thinks it’s a hoot to squat down to pick things up or put things down.

She is LOVED by her brothers and squeals in delight when they walk in the room (or screams in self-defence depending on the moment).

Talia’s mischievous self has also grown this month! She is enamoured by phones (please, let this not be foreshadowing!), remotes, Buddy’s leash, and basically anything that seems important to someone in this family. She has also learned to climb and gives quite a cheeky, satisfied look whenever she masters a new height.

Talia loves Buddy too! He has a special gentleness for her and lets her "pet" him and show her affection. It's really sweet to hear her say "Uh-Dee" in trying to get his attention. She also seems to say "Daddy" and make an approximation of "Mama". It is clear she understands all of our names and likely it will only be a matter of time until she is calling each one of us. Much to the delight of her “mama” it looks like she will have a head full of curly hair (once it grows a bit of course). The little curl that is present doesn’t like to be photographed quite yet!
