We’ve been home one week. And one day.
And, well… that seems like reason enough to take some pictures of Tallula.
Unfortunately, she was not too happy when she awoke from her afternoon nap.
Which isn’t her usual post-sleepy-time mood.
But, because daylight was burning – and the fruit snacks didn’t seem to be working – we I decided to go ahead and take those pictures.
After all, y’all haven’t seen much of Tallula’s unhappy face.
Heck, I haven’t seen a lot of Tallula’s unhappy face.
Except on the plane on the way home.
But let’s not go there.
Today, I’m not quite so sure of the cause of her crabiness.
It might help if I spoke Chinese.
I’m sure that’s what Tallula is thinking.
That, and that her mama is an idiot.
I’ll figure her out eventually.
I just hope she’ll put up with me in the meantime.
P.S. Isn’t she too much? Even when she’s crabby, she can’t help but smile…
darling, darling, darling……crabbiness and all!
🙂
Heehee LOVE the one with her finger on her chin – looking like “LAdy, I am a baby and I know the language – what is WRONG with you. But oh yeah, you bring me goodies, so I guess your not THAT bad!” Like Brahm would call her Little Ms Sassypants!
She’s delicious…even when she’s crabby!
Oh my, she is DARLING! I also love the one with her finger on her chin! She is way to cute, crabby and all! Hope you and the rest of your wonderful family are doing well!
Gosh darn it. She’s so cute. Had a great convo today with Chris B…. you came up a couple times. 🙂 All good. We’re gettin’ close to looking at files and getting our dossier outta here 🙂
She’s adorable! Her face is so expressive! Hope you are all settling in well!
i really don’t know how you can stand that cuteness… and i’m not just being nice- she seriously is one of the cutest thangs i’ve ever seen.. and some of those poses…. love:)
She is so cute I can’t stand it!!! And that face…I’d be kissing those cheeks all day long…
hugs,
Gail
How can you stand it?? I mean seriously…… She is absolutely, positively THE most adorable treasure ever!!!
I am certain she is one of the CUTEST little ones I have ever seen! Seriously!
Oh my word. She is positively PERFECTION! I am so glad you get to be her Mama! : )
She is WAY to much!!! Adorable. I have baby fever and she is not helping 🙂
Cute is not even enough of a word to encompass what she is! She’s precious for sure!!
We readers don’t see an ounce of crabbiness … we are far to caught up in all that cuteness!
what a crack up. hey…i am way jealous of the natural light in that room!!!!
She is ADORABLE! She has some darling expressions, and, I love the one where she’s leaning on her fingers. How cute is that! Seriously… 🙂
I can’t believe it’s only been 8 days! It already seems like she’s been with you for a while. She is so fun to look at, that is for sure! I LOVE the one with her fingers on her chin. Too cute!
M gets upset when she dreams of China still, never know what made Tu melancholy, its only been a week for the poor girl – its great she can smile.
Definitely too much. I’m totally in love with your Tullula!
She’s just precious!!!
She is absolutely spectacular!!
hugs – aus and co.
How photogenic! And I love the pics w/ her fingers on her chin!
She couldn’t take a “non cute” picture if she tried!
Really….she IS too much!
We always blame unexplained crabby days on moving teeth. We’ve had a lot of moving teeth here lately at our house.
she must be really frustrated 🙁 especially since she spoke the language so early . . . give her a few more days and she will be fluent! she is adorable Stef, and I can only imagine how happy, fun, crazy, busy it must be at your house!!!
enjoy the stuffins out of her 🙂

She is absolutely darling. There are those poses I think are adorable… You know, the ones with her little finger on her chin…:) Thinking of how she can get you to understand….
I know you are just beside yourself with joy every time you look at her!
I remember looking at Joel that first month home and feeling so sorry for him that I couldn’t understand him…and he couldn’t understand us. Sweet girl. She looks like she’s doing so well…even in her crabby mood! Hope you all are adjusting and finding your new normal!
She strikes me as SO expressive & extroverted! Reminds me of Lukai…….
AAAAH! She is so stinkin’ cute. Love the pictures of her with her little hands to her face. She is a little treasure for sure!
SO CUTE!!!!
Ohhhhh she melts my heart! What a cutie!!!
i just can’t help but smile when i see your gal! those pics of her resting her chin on her hand? killing me! and her sad face might just be the sweetest thing i’ve ever seen 🙂
ps. thanks for your sweet comment and encouragement on my blog last week 🙂 your a dear!
SO cute!
She’s a dolly. How are Poppy, and Vivi doing?
If you hadn’t told us, we would have never known! That girl makes crabby cute!
I cannot get enough of Miss Tallula….. Happy, Mad, Sad, or Crabby….. SHE IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!
Keep the photos coming……
Happy Weekend~
xo,
Lisa
she is just so expressive and absolutely precious. I’m sure she forgives you for not knowing how to speak to her properly. 😉 Still praying for y’all as you settle in!!
She’s so adorable. W/the pink cheek, I’d have to say teething is causing her grumpiness. Even “grumpy” she’s super cute in pictures!

She’s an angel…so precious. And so are you for all you went through to bring her into your home.
I’m new here. I found you through PW’s suggestions and I started watching while you were in China picking up that adorable darling of a girl. I’m officially addicted to checking your blog to see what’s new. I’ve probably told 10 people that they need to check you out because it’s absolutely impossible to have a bad day once you’ve seen these pictures. The love you have is so full and perfect for your family and it’s such an inspiration. I’m 26, today’s my one year anniversary with my husband, and through your site you’ve given me so much excitement for my own family someday.
And I just LOVE her smiles. I just wanna squeeze her!! 🙂
What a precious little love!!!
So Stinkin’ Cute!!!
