Ten Months

(photo courtesy of my sister Chrystal)

Taylor turned ten months yesterday. I can't believe she is just a couple months away from being one, crazy! In the last month three of her teeth have come in, her bottom two centrals and one of her upper centrals. Her other one is starting to come through too. Needless to say all of these teeth are making her a little crankier than usual. She also seems to have a runny nose all of the time, which someone told me was from teething but I don't know if that is true or not? She is pulling herself up on everything and wanting to explore, which is really just a nice way of saying she is getting into everything! Yesterday I put her down for a minute to try and put my makeup on, two seconds later I turned around to find that she pulled herself up onto the toilet and started unrolling the toilet paper. Lovely, huh? She is still sleeping really well and is so quick to smile and laugh, which is one of our favorite things about her. She smiles at everyone who looks at her! Let's just hope the recent crankiness is short lived...

Redneck Fun

We had such a fun weekend this last weekend. Friday night we got to go on a date night with m sister Chrystal and her husband. We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and then back to our house for dessert and games.
Than on Saturday Chrystal watched Taylor for us so we could tube down the river with our good friends Cami and Scott. We have discovered as we are telling people that we did this that it must be a very redneck thing to do and they kind of look at us like,"You floated down the river, that is digusting!" Well we did, and we had so much fun! Maybe we are a little redneck at heart. It's great though, you all get your tubes and then you get one extra tube to put your cooler in. Then we tied them all together and just relaxed as we floated and ate and chatted. At the end there is this one part where you have to get over to to get off. So we were all trying to scoot our tubes over and some how Rob fell and got tangled in the rope. We didn't realize he was tangled and just kept dragging him trying to get over. It was funny. We were all laughing the whole time. Maybe it just made us feel younger, like we were back in college!

Rob could probably pass for a little redneck with his hat in this pic. :)

#1 Mom Moment

So last Friday I was at the craft store with my sister. We were in the line to check out and we were both turned looking at something on one of the shelves on the side when I heard a noise. I looked over to see my baby on the floor and then she started screaming. I think I froze for a split second , like what just happened here! She somehow flopped herself out of the cart. It was HORRIBLE! I felt so bad I wasn't watching her. I didn't think she could get out if she wanted to. I just picked her up and left. By time we got out of the store she had already stopped crying but I was still feeling frantic. I called Rob and then the doctor. They told me I should bring her in just in case. Remarkably she was fine. She must have caught her head because she didn't have the tiniest bump or red spot. Thankfully! Luckily the nurse didn't make me feel bad and tried to tell me it happens all the time. I am sure I was way more traumatized than Taylor.
