Our Elegant Eight Month Old!

Wow,it has been 36 weeks since Taleah has joined our family! We have now have had her in our arms as long as I had her in my tummy...the last 36 weeks went much faster ! (pregnancy is not for the WEAK!) She is such a joy and has grown and learned so much. This month was a month of firsts for Taleah.

Taleah got her first swing (thanks Grandma Kathy) and loves it!  Jordan and Parker love to take her out and swing with her, Taleah loves to be outside with the wind in her hair (ha ha)!

Taleah is exploring her power over her brothers.  The boys were super excited to have Taleah move upstairs to her big girl room and be with them.  They took seriously the responsibility of watching out for her, and loved to wake up with her to give her toys in the morning.  One morning I heard Taleah wake up and then it was quiet, I thought she must have gone back to sleep.  When I went up to check on her, I found Jordan and Taleah snuggled up asleep.  They were so happy to wake up together.  Taleah has her brothers wrapped around her little finger, they would do anything for her...even climb in her "baby cribben" so that she isn't alone!

Taleah went to her first Tea Party and was the belle of the ball, of course! 

Taleah had many other firsts this month.  The weekend she turned 8 months, she meet her Uncle Jon for the first time (he just returned off his mission) she rolled over for the first time at the Francoms (thanks Aunt Daryl for the encouragement) and her first tooth popped up! 

Give yourself a hand, Taleah...what a big girl!

Taleah learned to patty cake/clap for herself at 7.5 months and loves to show off her skills to all who will watch.  You have to love this girl!
