Darling Deux

Happy 2nd Birthday, Talia!



While people often refer to the "terrible two-s", I'd like to think of our little Tally Wally as a darling, dazzling, and dynamic deux year-old (albeit occasionally destructive). In honor of her special day, I thought I'd turn back time and post a couple pictures of our cutie in her birthday suit.




More recently, here are a few photos of our Lyonnaise celebration today. For Talia's party, we invited some friends over for a great spaghetti lunch. Here's Talia sneaking a few bites of the yummy salad Daddy made.





Mom made the birthday cake--from scratch this time, since ready-made cake mixes are not available. It turned out to be somewhat interesting in shape. Fortunately, the great big lump in the middle made a great hill for the train to climb.





Here's Brooklyn helping to open presents. Big sisters are very good at being so helpful.


And, since it's been a long time since we've posted any video footage, here's a short clip of the big day. As you can see, Talia was a bit more interested in her new stroller than the baby doll to go inside. Listen closely for Jason's final commentary--it may be time to start potty-training. :)
