So I finally took some more pictures of Tali this morning before church. I put Tali in her Holiday dress for the first time. She looked adorable and I couldn't resist going nuts with the camera. So there a ton of pictures of "Tali-dega." Enjoy!













I told you I went crazy with the camera. Hope you enjoyed!

So this week I started feeding Tali peas. She has already been eating rice cereal for a few days and taking it like a champ! So I thought since she is 6 months already I better start feeding her new flavors. Her first day of peas didn't go so well:



She wasn't so sure about what I was feeding her and she only ate a few scoops. She also gaged once! I thought..."Oh no...another Joseph when it comes to veggies."

This is the second day I tried the peas. She seemed have warmed up to them overnight! She ate the whole ounce I dished up for her.

She likes to help feed herself. She mostly just gets it all over her hands then in her mouth.

Tali swallowing a mouthful of peas! She seems to be savoring them.

Tali attempting to feed herself. She made some of it into her mouth.

After the whole serving of peas, she was all smiles!

I think she might be asking for more in the picture!

Tali's pea mouth! Mmmmm....good stuff!

Tali was the cutest bunny ever!









Tali had the job of handing out the candy! She did a good job!Dad proud of his little bunny

She looked so grown up in this outfit, I had to take a picture!This pop was empty but she was so interested in it! I think she thought it would work the same as her bottle. It was pretty funny because she is so interested in everything we put into our mouth. I guess we should think about stopping the bad habits! Like Diet Coke.

Here are some new photos of Tali "Mexicali." Most were taken in the last two weeks. The ones of her in the bathtub were taken last night. Enjoy!

Tali drooling and laughing. It takes talent to do that at the same time.
She has so many expressions! I love it and can't get enough of her smiles.

Bath-time is no doubt, her favorite. She could be cranky but chill right out when we put her in her tub!
Tali's hair get's out of control! So I usually always put it in a pony tail when we go out. This day I put it in pigtails. She doesn't look like she really cares.

We tried feeding Tali for the first time while Jen was here. She hauled the highchair all the way down for us so I thought we'd give her the privilege to see Tali's first feeding. She looks like she is enjoying it a lot more that she did. Right now she is still on formula. I think I will try solids again in a couple of weeks. She doesn't officially need it till she turns 6 months.


This is Tali after she got smacked in the face by a wave in Mazatlan. It took us both by surprise. But Tali didn't close her eyes in time and I'm sure salt water in the eyes isn't friendly.

This is after Tali woke up from her nap this morning. She just started talking this much on Monday. Enjoy.

Joe and I went to Puerto Vallarta a month ago. We had a good time despite the humidity! Poor Tali was sweaty the WHOLE trip but she was a pretty good sport. We drove there and it took about 4 hours. It wasn't a bad drive until we got to the curvy two lane highway that took us through thick jungle, up and down a mountain. I have never seen jungle in my life. REAL jungle. The road would have been perfect for motorcycles, except that there was pretty heavy traffic. Cars were passing other cars when there was blind spots and no passing zones! It was pretty stressful. But we made it there and back safely because Joe has always been a good driver. He put up with me so well during the drive! I was pretty stressed out. Needless to say, I don't know if we'll do that drive again, anytime soon.

I couldn't locate all of the photos we took so here are a few of them:


The above two pictures were taken from a restaurant that advertised, "The best view in Puerto Vallarta." I would say it was probably correct. Puerto Vallarta is located right next to a mountain. This restaurant is located on the side of the mountain. It is a beautiful town with lots of beach, shopping and eating!
This is the road to the restaurant. This picture doesn't give the road justice. It was really steep and the cobble stone was uneven. It felt like we were out 4-wheel driving!
This is Tali after a full day on the beach!
This is Tali the beach babe. We were sitting under a big umbrella on the beach listening to the waves! Even Tali was enjoying great view!

This is a close up of Tali dreaming next to the beach.

Overall, it was a pretty good trip! I am glad we went. I hope next time we'll be able to spend a little more time walking around. I really wanted to get into the part of town were only the well traveled tourists went. We drove through it but couldn't find parking. This weekend we are planning on going to Mazatlan. It is supposed to be a better highway! I can't wait.
