I cannot believe Tally is now 15 months old!! Time has gone by so fast.

Fun facts:
Slowly making the move from baby food to table food.
Loves to play play play! Girl is always on the move.
Loves the park. Going down slides.
She is very much a happy little girl.
Words: Mama, Dada, dog, ball, clock (ha!), ba-ba (cup), barks like a dog
She still hates green beans and peas. Pretty much anything green.
She loves peaches, strawberries or any fruit.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic that day! :(

The Park

I've taken Tally to the park twice. Now that she is walking it's fun for her to walk around and test out all of the toys (with mom not far behind). The first time we went I went down the slides with her or held her hand on the way down. She was kind of getting annoyed and wanted to go down by herself. I was not ready for that!!! So today I took her and let her go down all by herself! She LOVED it! She ran up the stairs (well, half crawled), went straight to the slide and went down.....head first!!! She laughed the whole way. It was just darling!!

Happy Halloween!!

Tally dressed up as a bear and I must say she was the cutest bear on the block! She also wore a Tigger costume my mom has saved for 40 years. Stuart, Tad, and I have all worn it at some point for Halloween.

Tally Bear!

Tigger

We put the bear costume on Tally and she did not skip a beat. A funny story from the evening... We took Tally over to Hank and Barbara's to show off her bear costume. She immediately saw Boots (their little Schnoodle) started chasing him and barking at him! It was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Poor Boots almost had a heart attack. He's already scared of Tally and then throw in the fact that she can now walk and she's dressed as a bear! After leaving their house we went to my parents and helped hand out candy. Apparently their neighborhood is a hotspot for trick or treaters. There were soooo many people!

Pumpkin Patch

October 15th we went to a pumpkin patch with our friends Jamon and Jill along with their two boys, William and Wyatt. Tally had a great time!! We'll definitely have to make this a yearly tradition.

Tally was not so sure about feeding the animals.

She wasn't feeling a bow that day. Gotta do whatcha gotta do!

Who does Tally look like??

We've been going through mine and Clay's baby pictures lately to see who Tally looks like. You decide.



I think she's a good mix so far.

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. We went to Colorado Springs for 10 days. It was an amazing family vacation. Tally had so much fun seeing some Holmboe family. Lots of time with cousins, Aunt Ryn, Aunt Mari and Uncle Luke!!

First tooth!

6 month check up

Tuesday we went in for Tally's 6 month check up. She weighs 14 lb 11 oz and is 25 in long!! She's about 20-25 percentile for height and weight. Just a petite little thing!! :) The doctor said she is growing and gaining weight steadily so that's great! Finally her ears are back to normal. Overall Tally is doing great!

I can't believe Tally is 6 months!

Where have the past 6 months gone?! I cannot fathom the fact that we are already half way through Tally's first year. That's NUTS!! She is an absolute joy and I can't remember life without her. We have had a few hiccups in the past 6 months - reflux, colic, ear infection and now teething. Her first tooth is coming through on the bottom left. Poor thing has been battling an ear infection for probably going on 4 weeks now. I think this antibiotic is working now. We go Feb. 22 for her 6 month check-up and we'll see how her ear is doing then.

Fun Facts about Tally:

Rolls both ways - tummy to back and back to tummy
Starting to giggle
Has the biggest smile
Loves to "talk"
We always put her to sleep on her back but we find her asleep on her tummy
Loves her exersaucer, bouncy seat, play mat and all of her toys
Everything goes straight to her mouth
Loves to be bounced or rocked before naps and bedtime
Loves her babyfood - squash, carrots, bananas, apples, pears, sweet potatoes
Does NOT like - peas or green beans - she makes the funniest face when you feed her these
Undecided on prunes - I'm with her on this one!

There are so many more fun things about Tally but this is what I can remember off the top of my head.

I'm going to try to get better about blogging more about Tally and what's going on in the Holmboe house!!

Have a great Sunday everyone!
