Grocery shopping

Lets go grocery shopping with my aunties. It was the first time I met auntie Elona. I got no chance to spend any time with her because auntie Bora kidnapped me.

Vamos a la Playa

TT loves the sea. She was being playful the evening we went to Durres to visit our cousins from Czech Republic.

If I told you by words that TT is able to build a sandcastle, you wouldn't believe me! So here I got my proofs that everything in Tatiana's world is possible. Since we're talking about the word possible here it comes something on my mind. My life motto. Nothing is Impossible, the word itself says I'm Possible.






Can't leave the beach without taking pictures in the sunset.



I was amazed when I first touched the sand.

Teze Ida and Grandma.



My little ballerina.

TT can walk!!!

I just can't believe my eyes. It's been a month that she takes a few steps [2-3] but this time TT took seven steps and it happened two days ago. I was talking to Barry on skype so I wasn't present, but all the other witnesses [Grandma, Grandpa and Martin] testified that she took 5 steps at first, paused and then took another 2. They were all cheering and singing to her. Then today Grandma let TT stand by her own. She stands by her own without any help for a minute then she takes 8 steps. When did my baby learn how to walk? I'm just overwhelmed with joy. She laughs every time she walks by herself. I guess she can tell something strange is happening to her body. Then she claps her hands and continues to walk. If you dare to help her by holding her hand she protests by yelling at you. Yesterday we went to the mall. Every time Tia Xhilda or Uncle Martin tried to hold TT she showed another side of her and it wasn't pretty. If you really want to hear the word "pretty" I can include it in this sentence by saying pretty stubborn Tatiana!

Taiwan [Part I]

Note : TT woke up with 5 teeth today. She has 3 teeth in the buttom and the 2 front ones.

NOT the country, the entertaining center. 3 Best Friends couldn't planned it better but have kids at the same time. Too bad I don't live in Albania, so we could all hang out.



Darlin and I moments.





These girls are adorable ... until one of them....



OMG Tatiana what are doing? Troublemaker, just like her daddy.




The photographer is arranging the set.



Etri and TT gossiping about little Darlin. Shame on you girls!!!



The end of the photo shoot. We are pooped.



The pictures below are taken from another day. Etri is feeding TT popcorn. Isn't that cute?



Auntie Ida loves holding TT. She never gets tired of it. Once she comes at our home, it's mami's time to relax.



2 sisters.
TT : I want a sister too!
Mami: Ask daddy. :)

Taiwan [Part II]

We go out twice a day. Where to go? These are our options : the Lake, Taiwan, Bllok, the Sea, the Pool, the Park. This weekend we are planning a trip to Mountain Dajti. There are some good pools over there.

I'm preparing my escape plan!



Let's make Mom happy. Because if Mom is happy, everyone is happy!



Have you seen how I snuggle with Tia? Ohhh I enjoy every bit of it.




I can stand for a few seconds on my own. This time I preferred to get a little help.



I will steal a kiss from you TT.




What?! No way!!!



Ohhh little boy pushing his stroller... need to talk to him!



Let's run away together!



Ohh your Mom is actually funnier. And I thought that bigger boys knew how to make girls happy.

Wild Wild West

When it comes to a good cause such as showing the progress of your child, of course I take back the words I wrote on the last post. Tatiana is the reason I started this blog. This is her first diary. Maybe one day I will print this out. Many people have suggested to do so.

Okay back to our subject. Wild wild west is the theme for these pictures. What can you expect, after all we are from the West.

Since I am very late at uploading pictures taken recently I will end the Lake Ohrid journey today. * Sad Face *


She looks at me with adoration.







Last sunset by the lake.

Lazy? Tired? Exhausted is a better word

Some days I just feel like I don't want to do anything with the computer or the blog. It get to a point when you get tired of it, but I have to update our followers, especially our craziest fan : DaDDy Barry!!! Some days I just can't find the time to edit all these pictures, or some days like today I am exhausted. TT had a rough night. It was really hot!!! We sleep with the AC on but sometimes I turn it off because I'm scared she will get sick. No matter what I got to find that courage to continue writting in our blog.

11 Months Old [part I ]

11 Months Old [part II ]

My baby is getting closer and closer to number 1! Can someone tell me why do babies grow? I want her to stay just like she is!

Look at my muscles!





And I can read too!

Interesting facts [11 months old]

* Tatiana called me mami yesterday when I left the room. Now she just doesn't say it without a meaning. That was such a happy moment for me. I will never forget it!





* Four days ago TT said "Daja" [English translation - Uncle] for the first time.




* She loves dogs and squeals in delight whenever she sees one. She knows how to bark and today for the first time she made the sound of a horse [not really neighing but very close.]




* Tatiana can walk with a person hand in hand.




* She doesn't like baby food anymore. We have introduced her to adult food and finger food. TT enjoys eating when she sees other people eat too.




* TT picks up only blue balls. I have a baby swimming pool with colored balls and she distinguishes the blue ones.
