Six Months







I think the theme of this past month of Taylor's life would be:
What can I put in my mouth?

She has become so aware and curious of her surroundings and she wants to touch and grab EVERYTHING and as soon as she gets it goes straight to the mouth. She gets most excited when she gets her hands on paper. Her whole little body gets excited like she can't even stand it.


Milestone

Our biggets milestone- this last week I started to feed her rice cereal for the first time. SHe hasn't quite decided if she likes it yet. We are still working on the whole process. I think I am still trying to get used to it too. Just nursing seemed so much easier. Now I have this whole new thing to do with her and I feel like I have no idea what I am doing. Which sounds pretty stupid because your probably thinking How hard can it be?

















My Favorites














She has this great hair that sticks straight up.















Her cute little pre- cry face



















And all of her chubby little rolls and wrinkles, of course!

Busy Having Fun

A Visit from Family...
We always love having company. Last week Rob's sister Heidi and her family came into to town to visit. We had such a good time hanging out with them and it was so fun for them to get to see Taylor. The kids could make Taylor laugh so hard she would practically lose her breath. It was SO cute. We mostly did a lot of swimming. I think the kids could have stayed in the pool all day. One day Rob and Tim went to see Terminator, so Heidi and I took the kids to a peach farm and picked peaches. We had a good time and made a yummy peach cobbler later.

Memorial Day Party...

Since Rob's sister was here Memorial day weekend we thought it would be fun to have a BBQ/ Pool party. Rob and I love having these little get togethers at our house.



Rob came up with all of these games to play. We set up this homemade water slide in the front yard. Then we played pool games. Toothpick: where you put toothpicks on the bottom of the pool and everyone stands on the side waiting for them to float up. When you see one you have to jump in and grab it because if you don't get one you will be eliminated. It was So fun. Then we played Watermelon: where you grease a watermelon with Vaseline and then you throw it in the middle of the pool and each team try to get it onto the other teams side. Much harder than it sounds! And so violent when you play with men! The whole week we felt like we were going non stop and we had such a good time. It was nice because Rob had a 5 day weekend so I loved having him around.
