Cute Random Shots

Hi Talin -- here's some cute random shots that were taken around your first birthday! You're so photogenic and always smiling. We love you!

Happy 1st Birthday Talin!

Wow -- we cannot believe how fast your first precious year of life has gone by Talin. We had a biggg celebration for your birthday with almost 80 people. We had two 40 ft. bouncy obstacle courses, two 8 ft. balls, a full picnic with some indian food and also outdoor grilled food and even a popcorn machine and ice cream setup. The weather was a little windy and about 70 degrees, but it was SO fun! So many wonderful friends and family came to celebrate with you. You had a great time, but got a little sleepy after you ate your birthday cake. But later on, you got up and played outside towards the end of the party.

In other news, you are now sleeping through the night as of mid-May. You go to sleep around 7 to 7:30 and sleep in till 7:00am. You also pretty much feed yourself always and have moved to sippy cups instead of bottles. The other really big news is that you are now walking. You started taking a couple steps -- but now you can go five or six steps on your own and sometimes just stand in one place. Mommy and daddy both think you'll be walking really soon! We're so proud of you.

In other news, we are assemlbing new furniture for your new bedroom. You and Rohin are going to share a bedfroom soon! It's going to be so fun. So we'll follow-up to this blog post to fill everyone in on how it went.

In terms of food -- you're still a great eater, but you dropped to 75% for weight -- so you're thinning out a bit. But you love your fruit, cheerios, and vegetables.
