A future doctor?

Perhaps Tabitha has already realized her future career. As we were doing a photo shoot with the baby one day, James asked me to capture some pictures of her with him. As she became more uninterested in the camera she began to look around for something else to do. I guess daddy's ear was much more interesting....

Yum...carrots...need I say more?

Flexibility

Everyone we know who sees Tabitha reach for a toy is amazed at her flexibility...even I am somewhat amazed, but not really. See, as a gymnast I did not have much flexibility, except when it came to a pike sit (like Tabitha is demonstrating here). I guess this is another way that she takes after her mommy. Now...just to get James on board with letting Tabitha take some gymnastics lessons when she gets older.

The Swimsuit

So, now that Tabitha is 6 months old, we've been given the ok to go swimming. While auntie Abby gave her a very cute two piece suit, it is size 12 months and right now we are just growing into 6 month clothing (yes, she's a little peanut). Because we enrolled her in swimming lessons starting in March I had to buy her another suit.


Target had several size 6 month suits that I could choose from, so I picked one out and brought it to checkout. The gal at the checkout was very friendly and talkative. When she got to the swimsuit she asked if this was for a doll. I almost burst out laughing...but instead I said it was my daughter. I will probably always remember that question...and someday Tabitha will hear the story and how little of a peanut she was!

Chatterbox

We have quite the talker on our hands. Little Miss Tabitha loves to talk. While James claims that she says "Da Da" quite often, I told him that it doesn't count until she understands what it means (hence, we still have more time to learn "Ma Ma").



One night a few weeks back she was particularly chatty, and we were able to catch it on video. Enjoy!

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and Tabitha's first one at that. She was really adorable in her Valentine's outfit (which I didn't get a picture of--but trust me she was cute).

I had a night meeting last night so James was responsible for picking up Tabitha. I figured something was up when he asked if there was a florist close to daycare. As I learned later he picked up a dozen roses for Tabitha and then brought them in to her at daycare. I guess she loved them! I am looking forward to hearing all about his surprise for her today when I drop her off at daycare.

Do you think that she has him wrapped around her finger? Ah yes....

Oh and I was told that she might share her roses with me.....

Clapping!

Tabitha learned a new trick this week...it's clapping! She loves her monkey that sings "If you are happy and you know it clap your hands", and so when it plays we frequently like to do the motions with her. And now she can do the motions on her own (okay, so with a little prompting!). It makes momma so happy every time Tabitha claps now.



Here's a short movie of her clapping for the camera!
