Sleep time

I love when TT sleeps. She looks so adorable. I couldn't resist the idea of taking pictures of her sleeping even when I already took 700 pictures.


Just before going down for a nap.

Struga

Our vacation is going great. The lake is a little cold for us to swim. You know we are used to the sea which is warmer.









I got my eye on you little girl at the shore.










Playing, my second favorite activity after people watching.

Peek-a-Boo

Since I was a little baby I loved playing Peek-a-Boo.







These are some pictures we took at our hotel in Struga.






Knock, knock!! Anyone home?





Ducky and I moments.

Nona and I

Chilling by the pool.




Nona's trying to teach me how to walk. I took 2 steps yesterday all by myself.

Happy Independence Day America

Hooray it's 4th of July and I'm proud to be half American!!!

Look at my upper teeth in this picture.




You know why I'm in deep thoughts? Just think about it... 4 years ago Daddy popped the question to Mami. They got engaged in Provo, Utah at Grandma's house. And of course they added a little romance to it by watching the fireworks up on a hill. Every time we go to Provo, we always go by our favorite place [The Y] where daddy proposed for the second time that day. Unforgettable 4th of July!

Lake Ohrid

Last week we went to Lake Ohrid in Struga, Macedonia. We chose the lake instead of the sea because TT is still a baby and she needs fresh air. I was really happy with our choice. The weather was perfect, not even one time did we turned on the AC! The hotel had great accommodations for TT [a playground, a pool, even a little forest.] Our room was huge and in front of us we had a big water fountain which makes it perfect for a white noise at night.


The best part of this city is that the Black Drin [the river] starts right here where the picture of Tatiana is taken. The White Drin flows through Northen Albania. Everyday we woke up to this marvelous view.




A classic picture of TT eating her shoes.





Love this one. Tatiana was taking a morning nap while her tata [Grandpa Shpetim] and nona [Grandma Tatiana] were enjoying the beautiful view of the lake and the river.






To jump or not to jump this is the big question. If Barry was next to me I know there wouldn't be any big questions, but just a tiny push.






Sleep , sleep , sleep. Can't get enough of it!

At the park with Tia

Wow I am so behind on posting updates. I have lots of good excuses to use though. I have been tremendously busy. It is the last month of our vacation and that being said it's been very hectic around here. Tatiana is physically and mentally developing way fast. I forgot to mention that while we were in Vlora she cut her 2 upper teeth. She loves to cruise around the house and everywhere else while holding unto furniture.


So this time we went to the park by our house. TT woke up from her evening nap and Tia Xhilda came right immediately after work to see her. That's what we call sacrifices.


Love spending time with Tia. Can't you see we look like BFF's, we were playing, singing and laughing out loud. That's how we roll people!






I should mention that while posing and laughing a little girl [ who begs for living] spotted us. Tatiana kept smiling and talking to her but no response from her side. She just wanted to watch us.






There is a reason Auntie Ida calls TT a name [FBI]. TT wants to know everything about everyone. She walks down the street or the park in this case and sees every single activity that is going on. I will show you in the pictures below.






walking with Mami.



Mom look at the bird. Mom, what are you looking at? Hello!!! Oh goodness gracious, always looking at herself!

Vlora Beach

Last weekend we went to Vlora, Albania. It was a girls trip. Auntie Bora, Mami and Grandma Tatiana. Even though I was teething we had a blast. I wasn't being a crying baby. I only refused to eat. Mami keeps worrying about me loosing weight because I protest putting food in my mouth every single meal. It's a nightmare for mami. She gets anxious whenever it's time to eat. Well, lets get back to our previous conversation. It took 3 hours to get there and I was either sleeping or singing songs with the ladies. This trip was a piece of cake compared to the trips I'm used to take such as SFO-TIA. I did have a good night sleep too.










It has been 3 months now that we are in Albania. We try to enjoy every second of it. Trips to the beach make our life happier. That's why we love being home.














Then we took some artistic photos. Mami is better behind the camera than in front of it! hihihi





















I continue to take 2 naps during the day.







Moments with Grandma Tatiana. It was early morning, probably 8 AM. Perfect weather, a little bit chilly, but since I'm so white I need to protect my skin from the sun's ultraviolet rays. This was the best time for me to get Vitamin D.








It looks like a paparazzi picture, right?
