Talia is growing up

Talia is such a different person than her big brother, which I'm sure most of you are saying "of course she is".  Today we had some time alone with Talia as Max was over playing with some friends, so we've experienced a bit more of her personality uninfluenced by her brother.  She is just as curious as Max was, wanting to participate in everything B.D. and I are doing.  She wants to touch the computer keyboard and play the Wii.  She loves to look at books, but does not really need us to read to her.  And she loves to sing and dance.

When I was changing her nappy she was trying to form the Itsy Bitsy Spider movements with her hands.  Once I started to sing she just giggled and giggled, and copied all the moves.
She is desperate to talk, grunting and getting frustrated much quicker than Max did.  She says Papa and Mama, Max, Talia, Fish, and numerous other sounds we can't quite decipher.
And she is learning her animal sounds.  BAAAAA is for sheep, and QUA QUA is for duck.  She is working on pig, the funniest snorting sound you've ever heard, and dog.
She's growing up fast, and we're so proud of her!
