*She can now say hot (while sticking her hand out in a "stop" kind of way), please (which sounds more like "peacsh" - the cutest thing ever!), cheese (when getting her picture taken :) and uck (which comes up a lot since she's constantly getting into/touching things she shouldn't)
*She can also pretty much understand anything we're saying now and will do things for us when we ask/tell her. She's seriously 16 months going on 3. I'm sure it has a lot to do with being around three older kids all day, but she acts so much older than being just over a year old.
*Speaking of older kids, she really wants to be one and follows her older brother and cousins everywhere! She also tries to keep up with everything they're doing, whether it be going up the stairs, jumping off the couch, racing through the house or outside. This girl has no fear!
*She also loves to watch Team Umizoomi (cartoon) and gets so excited when she hears its opening song and starts dancing. When they ask questions throughout the show, she always answers with a "cha" (ya).
*Since she's now "one of the big kids", she refuses to sit in her booster seat and stands on the chair at the table while we're eating. She's fallen off quite a few times, which has made me force her to sit in the booster afterwards, but it doesn't deter her. She's determined!
*She now eats anything we are eating and, like her big brother, so far has liked it all! I'm sure the pickiness will come soon, but I'm enjoying this phase right now!
*She can also eat with a spoon on her own. Not that it always goes into her mouth, but at least she wants to do it by herself.
*Our daily walks are getting harder now since she refuses to sit in the stroller halfway through a long walk. Which means Tristan has to go at a snail's pace on his bike. And then I usually end up having to carry her the rest of the way back. Good for the biceps, I guess :)
*Along with having no fear, she can also be a dare devil. Climbing onto the table, "jumping" down the slide, jumping ship off the stroller mid-walk, running at a million miles an hour and then biting it on the concrete. You know, the usual :)

| Sweet picture of Talia and her doggy cousin, Stella. And, you can also see the road rash that is still apparent on her face :) |
 |
| This is how she eats. Standing at the table with food all over her face. Hot mess :) |
 |
| Hours after she jumped off a stroller, face first onto concrete. This girl is tough :) |
 |
| This is also how she does craft projects lately. The art ends up more on her arms than on her paper :) |
 |
| Brotherly/sisterly love. This is really how these two feel about each other :) |
