*She loves to dance to music!
*She also loves to be chased
*When she answers to someone, it sounds like she says the words, "ya, good, all done", but not entirely sure if those are her words, even though others have also made comments that she has said that.
*She is really trying hard to say, "dad" for both Brian and I. It comes out more as a long, drawn-out, "daaaaa" in a sing-songy way, but I know what she's trying to say :)
*She loves to give hugs, loves and snuggles :)
*She has mastered climbing the stairs for quite awhile (and is pretty fast!) and now she is starting to back up to go down the stairs on her own
*If you ask her to bring something to one of us or her brother, she will! She really seems to have a good understanding of what we are saying to her.
*She loves to play cars with her brother, although some of the time it's taking the ones he plays with and walking away with them which is frustrating for a big brother. But a lot of the time, she just picks them up and hands them to Tristan or makes "ooooo" zooming sounds as she rolls them on the ground. Pretty cute :)
*She loves the dog bowls, especially for splashing. We've now had to put their bowl in the bathroom and shut it so she doesn't go in there. But the second it's left open, she makes a bee-line for the bowl and will splash or pick it up and dump it all over herself. Awesome.
*But she also doesn't just like the dog bowl. She loves any kind of water. Even water in a glass. She'll stick her hand in and then try to drink what's in her hand. And she still loves to splash in the bathtub. I have a feeling it's going to be a fun summer when we set up a kiddie pool outside, although I hope she doesn't drink more than she swims :)
*She loves to chase her brother and cousin around and tries to do whatever they are doing. Sometimes they love it, sometimes they'd rather her stay away. It's hard being the third wheel sometimes :)
*Since Tristan loves pushing around his lawnmower, Talia has now started pushing around her baby stroller with him. They'll laugh and giggle loudly as they try and go as fast as they can with their push toys :)
*She's definitely becoming less and less into her baby toys and wanting to play with whatever her older brother is doing, which would be okay with me but she still puts everything into her mouth.
*Even though she's not completely off the bottle, she eats "big girl" food with us at the table three times a day and sometimes even more with snacks! Right now she likes Cheerios, bananas, cucumbers, black beans, bread, plain shell macaroni and most fruits, although she doesn't like blueberries at the moment. Can't wait to introduce more foods!
*She also likes to mimic things she has seen us do, like brushing her hair with my brush, talk on a phone, brush her teeth (and in fact has her own toothbrush now because she would throw a fit if she wasn't brushing hers when we were brushing ours!), etc.
*It's so funny to see the differences between siblings because there are so many between Tristan & Talia! For one, she is much more outgoing and loves to make friends wherever we go, whereas Tristan was much more shy at this age. She is also much more adventurous, already having so many scraped knees, bruises, etc. than Tristan ever had at this age. And I have a feeling she's going to be the one who will test her/my limits much more than her rule-following brother. I hope she proves me wrong on that one!
We love you, Sissy!! You make our lives so much more complete!!
