Shuntavi turning one

As children approach their first birthday, distinctive quirks and special personality traits emerge.


Some things a Tavi-lover should know about her at her 1 yr b-day:





1) She loves to try on clothes, especially underwear and scarves. See her below making a designer outfit out of our laundry, and then riding through the crowds on her cow.








2) Tavi will do almost anything to suck on a teabag. She is quite a tea connosieur. Her favorites are Chamomile and Peppermint. No caffeine, only herbal for this little girl.











3) She plays the Kazoo with the amazing skill. Quite precocious musical ability--it comes from her maternal lineage. She has some great rhythym too!














4) Tavi enjoys the outdoors, but she frequently gets cranky when we try to put her hat on. Perhaps because she can't seem to keep it straight.

5) She loves playing hide and go seek--here she is finding her auntie Jen hiding in a blue tunnel.

For her birthday she went to an Ethiopian food restaurant--very daring choice for a 1 year old.


She had a visit from her grammie B and B-pa Neal.

We love her!

She can take 4-5 steps. yes, she'll be walking soon--the suspense continues.
