Winter is finally almost over!

Talin, next week you’ll be 10 months old already! You have grown so fast and are changing daily it seems. Just recently, you started pulling yourself in your crib and can stand on your own while holding onto something. Unfortunately, you can’t crawl yet – so you always want mommy or daddy to hold you so you can stand up. You’re so ready to start walking. You are on all fours trying to crawl but take one half crawl before crumpling to the floor – but you keep on trying. We’re very proud of you! You are still saying dada a lot, but also know nana and sometimes mama. You love to eat Italian food and love your fruits. I think blueberries are a big hit with you, as well as broccoli and pasta.

You love your brother Rohin and are very fascinated by him. You watch him and trying to grab on his hands or touch his face when he gets close to you.

You also have such a wonderful smile Talin and are such a happy baby. You get big grins on your face when people talk to you or make high pitched sounds. You also have the cutest face when daddy blows a little air in your face. You blink your eyes and let out a little sigh and smile so cute.

You also have picked up a new trick – which is that when you are in the high chair, you enjoy rocking forward and backwards. Sometimes, Rohin will copy you and do the same. But the most interesting thing is that sometimes, you will actually go to sleep in your high chair while doing this.

In terms of sleep, you normally sleep around 9am for about an hour and again around 12:30pm for another hour. But you like to fight going to sleep. At night time, you go to best at 7pm and sleep most of the night. Sometimes, you get up around 3 or 4pm for milk and then sleep in till 6pm or so.

Recently Talin, you also had your first haircut -- which was absolutely necessary because your hair had grown so long that it was in front of your eyes! Mommy had to put gel in your hair to keep the hair out of your eyes. You did great and were so calm and smiled the whole time that you had your hair cut. Grandma and grandpa were with you and your hair got cut where daddy got his hair cut when he was little. We are all so proud of you.

Also, we included a picture of you just last weekend when mommy, daddy and Rohin and Talin all went to the local playground. You had great time!

We love you Talin!
