Month 6
August 17 - September 16


Tia's a lot more expressive now.  If she's happy, she lets us know.  If she's unhappy ... boy, she DEFINITELY lets us know :-).  One of our favorite things is how she knows to kiss us when we ask for it.  Tam and I just love it.  She hugs us by the neck and gives us a kiss.  It just melts our hearts. :-)  She is such a joy!

 

 

Mommy and Tia playing ....

 

Early this month, we found out that Tia loves sitting in this chair.   Great news for us because this is when we started to discover that we actually have two hands for getting some things done while watching her :-)

 

She loves propping her feet up while watching Baby Einstein videos

 

Even when she's sleepy ... she always smiles back ...

 

Watching TV with daddy ...

 

My babies :-) ... 

 

Tam gave Tia a  taste of his green apple drink.  She didn't like it at all.  She stayed like this for about a minute giving us time to look for the camera and take a shot.  It was pretty funny.  Didn't I say she's more expressive?

 

Tia tries to stand up whenever she finds the opportunity to do so.  She's becoming pretty stable.

 

Tia's 3rd and 4th teeth came out this month.  Tam had the exact same gap in his teeth when he was a toddler.  

 

We gave her a carrot to teethe on ...

 

Tia visiting with Auntie Thao

 

Tia with cousins, Kuya Jason and Kuya Niki.  It's very dark.  Jason doesn't want me to use the flash because "it will blind Tia".  He's a sweetheart! :-)  Tia actually looks very much like Jason when he was a baby.

 

Tia with Ninang Stella and Uncle Bill at Kuya Jason's 10th birthday party.

 

Ally and Tia ... 
They're both distracted by Ally's daddy.  Ally just turned 7 months old.

 

Tia with Grandma.  Tia loves playing with Grandma.  They played all morning!

 

By the end of the month, Tia would always try to stand up from her chair.

 

We've managed to get her to drink from a bottle but she only likes water.  She still doesn't like to drink pumped milk from the bottle.  It's been so hot this past month and this hopefully kept her hydrated.  Fortunately (for us), she holds her own bottle.  Of course, she drinks much faster when we hold it for her :-)

 

Tia learned quickly how to play with her cow.

 

Tia is half a year old!
