The rest of March...

Phewf... Well, Talulah's crawling now so she's kept me on my toes! I haven't had time to hop on the computer and update the blog for the rest of March!

She is crawling, but sometimes it's like an army crawl and sometimes it's a regular crawl. But, she's already getting around pretty quick so we'll be in trouble when she gets more practice.

I was concerned about Talulah's sitting (or lack of) because she was crawling before she was sitting! She sat briefly before, but when she figured out how to get around she lost interest in sitting. But I'm happy to announce that today she found it interesting again! She's still toppling over fairly easily, but she's definitely sitting on her own!

Here are the rest of the March 2009 pictures. (I haven't had a chance to sort through the April so far pics so they will be coming soon to a theatre near you...)

Talulah hangin' with her Grandpa and Great Grandma!


Playing by Grandma Brenda's coffee table. (Talulah LOVES this blanket she got from Anita... it's big and cushy and she loves to scratch at the animals...)



Doing her push-ups... This usually turns into the downward dog yoga pose. Jasmyn may need to start a yoga class just for babies!


This is when Talulah was only taking one "step" at a time with her crawling.


Happiness!


This is one of Talulah's new tricks. She loves to bite things and hold them in her mouth.... She will often chomp the edge of the blanket she's on and then get up on her hands and knees. Then she'll rock with the blanket in her mouth. It's really cute, maybe she learned it from Byron?


Playing in "the chair". I've started calling this chair the "nursing chair"... but it's really an excuse so that I get to sit in it all the time! It's a heated AND massaging recliner.... soooooooo nice.


Talulah debating whether or not she wants to play with her teether ball at Ryan & Chrissy's house!


Cousin Jayden playing with her doll while keeping a watchful eye on Talulah and her little brother Riley. She's such a great babysitter!


Cousin Riley playing peek-a-boo with Talulah!


Jayden and Talulah chillaxin' on the couch...


Jayden holding Talulah... this is right before Talulah pulled Jayden's hair! I think she thinks Jayden has beautiful hair but she hasn't learned that it's not polite to grab just yet.


Riley showing Talulah his bunny... Talulah has the same one, but her mommy hasn't pulled out it's whiskers yet so she hasn't played with it a whole lot. (The whiskers can poke her in the eye! Chrissy told me she just yanked them right out.... So, I will follow suit!)


"What did you say Talulah?"


Riley teaching Talulah how to crawl.


Riley showing Talulah his singing duck!


Riley's checking out Talulah's "Sophie La Giraffe"... Notice Talulah keeping a close eye (she loves her Sophie!)


Still playing. Those Murphys are such great hosts!


"Okay Talulah, now you just have to go forward like this."


Riley's inspecting the teether ball to make sure it's safe for Talulah to chew on.


Cousin Chrissy snuggling Talulah... She loves hugs! (Talulah smelled so pretty for the rest of the day because Chrissy's perfume rubbed off on her!)


More snuggles!


Talulah rocking on Jayden & Riley's blanket.


Riley looking very happy that I'm taking his picture... :)


Riley keeping an eye on Talulah. Jayden's excellent babysitting skills must be rubbing off on her little brother!


I mostly took this one because I love Ryan and Chrissy's new house... Look at those beautiful windows!


Time for Baby Bubbles at Gymboree! Talulah's watching her BFF Alexis pop the bubbles.


Alexis is so good at popping bubbles!


Talulah loves the bubbles! I bought some and brought them home... Last night while her dad was giving her a bath I got the bubbles out. Donovan loves them too! He was even sneaking away today to blow more bubbles...


Pretty in pink!


Bubbles stuck to Talulah's hair... We love when this happens, it's so adorable!


"Hey Alexis, look at this bubble on my head!"


Playing in the tunnel!


"Hey Alexis, my mom's taking pictures of us!"


Alexis coming to check what all the excitement is about!


"Excuse me Talulah, I need to get a closer look at that camera!"


"Just about there..."


"One more step and I'll be out of your way Talulah!"


By the time she got over top of Talulah and out of the tunnel Alexis lost interest in the camera...


We're getting good at this taking-pictures-of-ourselves business!


This is my onesie from Gary! He's so funny...


Talulah thinks Gary is funny too!



More pictures of her teeth!
