Happy Birthday!!!

Enjoying my birthday cupcake

Yummy!

Opening my presents from Great-Grandma in Colorado

Showing off my fun birthday outfit

Boy, this birthday celebrating thing is tough work ... I need a break!

From Taylor's birthday party on June 25, 2011

Taylor working on her walking skills

Taylor's birthday gift for the new deck

Happy family, minus Taylor who got a fever in the middle of her party ... poor thing!

One giant cupcake for such a big girl!

Easter and Mother's Day

Easter

It is getting harder and harder to take pictures of Taylor without her being held because she wants to get the camera (as you see here)!

Grandma and Taylor on Easter

 Our first Mother's Day

 Taylor only wanted Uncle Mikie all day ....

 Which led to some tired people later in the afternoon!

Helping Grandpa blow out his candles on his birthday cake

Playtime

Mommy look what I found?  Yes, that's Daddy's laptop charger.  If we need anything found, she is our girl!

Having fun on a sunny day...she needs a break, playing is hard work!

Such a big girl!

Grammie's Visit

Grammie came to visit us in the middle of March and we learned to dance! :)

Grammie is probably telling Baby T. how perfect she is ...

Great picture! 

Where is your hat Grammie?

 

Faily Time

Just me and Mr. Bear...

I like to do whatever my Daddy does ...

Where did everybody go?

I will NOT wear this sock any longer!

Uncle Mikie and Sheba

 Uncle Mikie brought Sheba over to play.  Taylor and Sheba have met before but she really enjoyed playing with her this time.  Sheba was amazing .... yes, that is Taylor chewing on her.  Oh boy!  It takes a very well trained dog to allow a 9 month old to do that!  Thanks Uncle Mike!

The Latest ....

  

Taylor decided that she would help Mommy with her research for her dissertation.

Oh crazy Uncle Brad

This was when she started "rocking" on her knees

 So excited for her "big girl" toy that she can stand at

Daddy and I were putting in her new "big girl" car seat when she decided that she would rather play in the box than help us.

Just so happy that Daddy is taking her picture!

Our good buddy Janai taught us how to put our fingers in the air vents .... but we taught her how to blow raspberries and spit out our food!

When our first two teeth (bottom) came in last week we had no problems, but these top teeth are challenging so Mommy toasted a hamburger bun and she loved chewing on it.
