Mami's favorite activity {Taking Pics}

Staying home has its perks because I get to take numerous pics of TT. Today we stayed home { Totally forgot the stroller @ Barry's car + the weather sucked}. So, since we had some precious time in our hands I talked Tatiana into taking pictures. Of course she can't say NO to mami. These 2 last days haven't been that much exhausting because TT has been waking up at night only once and she hasn't been fussing too much during the day. So I thought it would be a nice reward for her to do a photo shoot. She has earned it!
[ Well she just woke up. I'm getting frustrated!]


TT: "I'm ready to fight! Well can you give me wrong? Of course not, I've been home for 2 days in a row. No sunlight, nothing. Gee Mom I need some vitamin D for heaven's sake! Are you blind or what? Can't you see I need some tan on me to look all cute again?"




Mami you look stupid trust me. Just stop bouncing all around the nursery and be an adult for once!



Well I was starving in here that's why I pulled the "smiley face" card. FEED ME PLEASE!!



I know who did it! My finger is pointing in the right direction. It wasn't me!
F.Y.I Mom Christmas has long gone + Santa Claus doesn't exist. One of these days I'll throw this onesie away.



My mami kisses my feet all day. She just can't have enough of them. That's how I learned to put my toes in my mouth.

Valentines Day

Dita e Shen Valentinit po afron. Keshtu qe une dhe TT shkuam ne San Jose dje tek nje shoqja Barryt qe eshte fotografe. Beme shume poza, por TT nuk ishte shume ne qejf dhe e kishte mendjen ti kapte te gjitha gjerat qe ishin vene ne studio per te dekoruar. Nuk la karamele apo lule pa futur ne goje. Mezi po i presim qe Deborah {Deborah Nagai Photography} ti editoj fotot qe ti primtojme dhe t'ia bejme babi Barry-t dhurate per Shen Valentinin.

Kjo fotoja poshte e tregon tamam ambjentin qe ishte dje te studjoja. Vetem perfytyroni qe ne vend te arushit ishte TT ( qe mezi rrinte ulur se akoma nuk e ka perfeksionuar te uluren ne byc.)

Church

Today I went to church and I was so excited to see everyone from our ward. Lately has been very difficult to attend church. Tatiana loved it too , of course she did : She was the center of the attention. She's such a diva, every time people would gather around her she would start giving them a lecture about life in Mars or she would sing like Beyonce. These are some comments she got today : "She is such a big talker, I know where she gets it from" "OMG she's just like Barry, a chatterbox" "Oh we got a singer here" ect. We also got to stay with the Young Women. Tatiana was constantly babbling , this is her way to demand everyone's attention and believe it or not it works like a charm. All the girls kept turning their head, smiling and saying cute things to her.

Tomorrow we will be heading to Oakland to apply for her passport. Yea that's right, she's a US citizen unlike her mother. :P Her passport pic is to die for. She got a big smile, well what can i say : The camera loves her!!! :)

I got a Jumperoo for Christmas. I'm starting to like it. You know it's a good change or a nice break from mami hihi.

Since I love daddy so much I thought I could pose tonight with my favorite shirt.

5 months old

TT can reach her toes now. She's been doing that for 4 days in a row. She chats with all of us. Yesterday when daddy came home she kept smiling at him and when Barry was telling a story TT approved everything he said. She is very friendly and a big talker ( I wonder where she gets it from?) :) She is such a sweet baby, except when she wants all of the attention or else (she gets fussy).

Milestones this month:

* Able to reach accurately for an object - check

* Can hold her head steady when sitting upright - check

* Can raise her chest with arm support while lying on her stomach - check

* Can grasp a rattle - check

* Pays attention to very small objects - check

* Squeals with delight - check

* Spontaneously smiles (especially at mommy & daddy) - check

* Mimics sounds and gestures - check

* Turns towards the source of a sound or voice - check

* Gets attention by babbling - check

Her sleep has changed a little bit (or a lot). She only takes naps in my arms during the day. They last about 1-1 and a half hour. At night she has been waking up every 2 hour which is 2 am, 4 am, 6 am and then 7am. I think she is teething. I believe it is so because of the enormous amount of drooling and changing the sleep pattern.

Christmas in provo

Barry and I decided to go to Utah (at grandma's house) for Tatiana's first Christmas. I was so excited because it was going to be a white Christmas and everyone from the family was going to be there. It was our first airplane experience with TT. So on Dec 24 we had to leave our home at 4 AM. I already sent the gifts with Barry's parents the day before, because they decided to drive there. Packed for 3 of us the night before, woke up TT the last and went to the airport. She slept in the car and then slept again when the plain departed. It was a perfect ride with our 4 month old baby!!! Once we arrived there we had to get ready for Christmas Eve. That's when the family got together and Paul (dad) was wearing the Santa outfit and took pictures with all the grandkids. Then we proceeded with the evening program and opening of the ornaments ( a family tradition).

















The last two pictures were taken at the Christmas Ward Party that Barry organized on Dec 18th. It was a talent show "Bayside got talent or not". We had a good time.
