Petting Zoo

Talia had a great time in the petting zoo at our local "Party in the Park" aside from the humid 90+ weather. She even had a chance to view the elusive "mommy" species they kept behind a fence to protect the children from kisses.

Work It Girl

Unlike Zoolander, Talia has many different facial expressions to launch her modeling career. I know many of you are wondering why I haven't signed her up for modeling yet, but I don't want to expose her too soon. She is sure to get even better with age. Look at her mother! Her time will come. Let the other babies have their moment for now.

Mr. Bear Redux

Talia still loves Mr. Bear and tackles him whenever the feeling takes over her. He is such a good friend! He doesn't complain like the other kids when Talia smothers him with affection.

Spray Park

Talia had tons of fun hanging out with her friend Brayden at the Buffalo Grove Spray Park. That is until he slipped through a bench and cut his head open! For full details, check out the link to Brayden's blog.

Bikini Model

Don't be jealous of how awesome Talia looks in her bikini. She is one of those who can just eat whatever she wants and still look this good. You show that belly off with pride, Talia! Let it all hang out!

Enough already, or is it?

Okay seriously, we do not spend all day naked in front of the mirror. Just a few hours or so. It is just so hard to resist picking up the camera when Talia spots herself in the mirror. Aren't you jealous of all of the fun we have here? Here she is enjoying her physique, playing peek-a-boo, and dancing to the beat of her own drum. It just never gets old. Maybe I'll stop when she gets old enough to protest.

Doin' it up right

Yet another stylish do Talia is introducing to the world. Do Mom and Dad have anything better to do with their lives than style my hair? No, Talia, we really don't.

John Deere

Yes, we too are jumping on the band tractor with all of the John Deere hoopla. We are hip and with it, after all. Talia got to test drive this fine tractor at the Lincoln Park farm. Christ joked that this was Irene's first mode of transportation growing up in Freeport, but my sister and I just helped build the tires, we didn't ride the tractor. How stereotypical, Christ, Gosh!

Hatched

Talia enjoyed a fun day at Lincoln Park Zoo thanks to Uncle John's law firm! This is her hatching from an egg at the farm exibit. What a happening chick, she is reborn already at such a young age.
