Behind it lies a fierce competitor. Whenever I try to clean the house, especially the girls' room, Talia is right there ready to thwart my efforts. I feel like I'm on American Gladiator. For those of you who haven't watched it it's a TV show which features average Americans doing physical challenges while a "gladiator" (freakishly muscled person with a unexplained vendetta against all the contestants) does all they can to keep that person from succeeding. I've only briefly watched the new version but watched way too much of the old one when I was a kid. For example, while I put away her blocks she dumps out the dress ups. While I clean up the dress ups she throws the plastic food all around the room. All the while she seems very serious about what she's doing and babbles purposefully complete with nodding and hand gestures. Sometimes she wins (I give up) and occasionally I do (I throw her in her crib while I catch up). Good thing she's so cute. I call this her "bring it on" look. Notice the destruction behind her.

I love the baring of the belly. Maybe you should teach her to flex her muscles at the same time and say, "Grrr!"
That b&w pic is so adorable. I love it. I hope that you have it blown up and hung on your wall somewhere - it deserves it.
