Reliving a Beautiful Photo

Thanks again to DC area children's photographer, Lily B photography, for taking such beautiful photos of Dalia. This photo is on our entertainment console and I just looked up today and remembered how much I love her in this little hat!

This isn't the famed photo of our little girl that helped her win the photo contest,

but it is surely one of my favorites! If you are in the area, hire her!

Welcome

Hey there! Welcome to the new design. I was seriously sick of looking at the old one,

weren't you? Don't worry, I won't be sad if you say yes.

Sometimes it is just, well, time. You know?

And with Dalia's recent haircut (yes, first haircut happened yesteryday) I am seriously remembering her in her earliest days (hence the nostalgic photo above, which I totally love for her quirky look--even then her personality shined through).

Here are some other (read: MANY) delicious baby photos (beware: unbelievably tired, super annoying mommy posting a zillion photos... yes I realize no one wants a full review of her life thus far, especially out of order, but humor me and look at them) and a few goin' on 4 years old wedding photos, just cuz':

mohawk gerber baby

a long time fav

bliss for both parties
fun times with Eilee
an obvious choice
could these pigglywigglies (dalia's new phrase for feet) be any sweeter?

first sushi

Happy Birthday, Dalia Liat
she's intellectual, and super stylish with her amber
first shabbat
3 days post partum, looking decent, i'd say

Chunky monkey

Fun

She's polish, a polish Jew, and for the record, she LOVES pierogi

quite possibly my favorite baby shirt. ever.

and look at those jellies!

still her favorite place to cuddle

um, not ready to sit, obviously

weird face syndrome #2

and there were oh so many pumpkins

for the record, i don't love the side position, do you?
it started with one blabla and ended with wink and

boogaloos and a backpack, an addiction?
this one makes me happy (it's cute) and sad (ugh, DC)
finale

spit happens

random wedding photos:

Have you recovered from the chaos?

Fast forward to today... my toolbar says that Dalia has been nursing for 1 year 1 month 2 weeks and 2 days. Woohoo!

Anyhoo, enjoy the new look and stay tuned for hair cut photos. Dalia's hair is no longer a wild untamed beast. We have taken control of her hair. Oh, and hair is one of her new favorite words/things. We say hair and she touches her hair (and the same with nose, mouth, eyes, and, well, pretty much most things these days).

Ciao!

Adventures in Eating

Check out these chompers (still only 6 teeth, but she can eat ANYTHING):

Thanks to my lovely husband, Dalia pretty much refuses to use a "baby" cup (sippy) anymore. And while this seems like a good thing, it makes my life harder!

Enjoy some Dalia photos, oh how my child loves to eat:

Dipping the spoon is her new favorite thing:

She claps for herself after she makes it to her mouth.

And, the big girl cup!

Silly

Don't forget to VOTE FOR DALIA, photo #1! I think she is still in first place, but don't forget to vote once daily until Sunday!
