First Annual Meeting with E. Bunny







Our neighborhood had an Easter Party complete with the Easter Bunny, egg hunt, games, and rides on the Boogie Woogie Choo Choo. Mostly we just hung out with the Easter Bunny and chatted with neighbors. The Easter Bunny and Riley got along great...kind of like meeting a giant stuffed animal! She was fascinated with his whiskers and even let him hold her. Next year will start the real test- we'll see.

Holy Cow, 7 Months!













What Am I Up to These Days?


Sitting up

Standing up with support

Saying "Ba-Ba"

Watching Daddy shave

Playing with bubbles

Swinging on the swing at the park

Eating cereal

Splashing in the bath tub

She Eats!
















Exciting times at the Talac house today...Riley started solids! We started a little later than we intended and the timing wasn't optimal. As the saying goes, "timing is everything", and we didn't time it exactly right because she was tired. Nevertheless, she got her first tastes and it all ended kind of messy... as expected. We started with rice cereal, and will eventually add in some other foods in a week or so. We will keep the updates coming!

Riley Can Read!




Ok...maybe she can't read just yet...maybe another week or 2! Riley and Daddy have had 5 weeks of story time at the library and this is their last class together. They had a great time and Kim was invited to attend the last class. We really learned a lot from the instructor about developing early childhood literacy.
