Hyenas in Canada

So this post is for Tati and for us all to remember how nasty and cute she is at one year old. We love this fool. She is a coo-koo bird sometimes though. I have to say I forgot how disgusting this age is. I mean as in need a new outfit after every meal, throwing food, smooshing food, eating food off of the floor, eating anything off the floor, wiping her nose on you, spitting on you or food spitting on you, the screaming, the independence, the sneaky mischief, the not wanting to get the diaper changed, the trying to touch everything you're working on while the diaper is getting changed and my favorite, the ole, "I'll hug you and then bite you while I'm hugging you so you aren't expecting it". I've been trying to get all these pictures of her being cute but she just hasn't been cooperating. So now you'll all get to see the true Tati in all her glory: bugars and all.

This is the "why can't I touch my poop face".

This is what you find when suddenly you think that your house is too quiet.

This is the "dang, you're too quick" face when she gets caught super speeding it passed the baby gate and up the stairs. White trash hair, bugars and all.

This is after a meal when she actually kept the bib on. Some meals look even worse. She somehow manages to touch about a billion things on the way to the sink to wash her off.

This is a new trick Daddy tried to keep her from dashing up the stairs. She LOVED it. She actually sat quite still and just smiled for a while. Looking over her kingdom for sure.

And if by now you're wondering about the title of this post and thinking I'm as random as can be (which is still true sometimes) but here is the explanation. So Tati makes this most bizarre noise lately when she wants something. We call her a hyena. It is pretty hilarious. This is from her Daddy's b-day. She wants CAKE!
