Peek-a-boo!

Oh, I should have video taped this, it was SO cute! Taylor was hiding behind the curtain and I said "Where are you Taylor..." and she quick popped out and said "Ba!" this means "Boo" in here baby language, then she hid again. I love it that I can play with her now! I love being a Mom!

Dolly

We got Taylor a Doll for Christmas because she seemed fascinated with other babies, children, anything with a face really, so we thought she might like a baby of her own. Sure enough, she loves her dolly. I came in from her nap yesterday and she was just standing there talking to her doll. She is so sweet, I love her!

Messy

Taylor has been learning how to feed herself lately, and as you can tell... she is still learning! :)

Guest room sunshine

Taylor and I were straightening the guest room a bit and the sun came out... while it was hailing (only in Oregon), so I had to take a few photos.

I just love this look that she gets when she is examining something...

Watching the hail... Love these eyes!

Standing

Taylor is making her way around... much sooner than we were ready for. She is crawling, standing, and walking (while she holds onto things) all over the house. We are finding new things to baby-proof every day! But it's so much fun to watch her, I'm just sure she will be walking any day now!

Gifts

More Photos from the Weekend...

Taylor loves her new laptop from Aunt Nikki & Uncle Steve!

Bad Week?

We were on our way up to Maple Valley, WA after church on Sunday to visit John's family, celebrate a late Christmas and have a fun New Years, but on our way up, our car broke down on the freeway (still being fixed), I'll spare you all the details in between, but we finally made it up there by 11pm. Then we ended up staying two extra days because all of us.. yes, all 9 of us came down with a terrible stomach flu right after we took this photo. So needless to say, our New Years was not too much fun since all of us were sick. John's Mom went to so much trouble to have some wonderful food all weekend, "Christmas" Dinner, New Years snacks, and so much more, but none of us were up to eating much. When it finally came time to leave, we got about 30 minutes away and realized that I left my wallet and the high chair tray at John's parents... we headed back to grab the stuff but barely got back out of town when Taylor got sick all over the car again... What a week!

We did manage to have some fun though, we played a couple games, and celebrated John's Mom's Birthday and had a blast seeing all the kids together. Next time we will just have to check the sick status before we come up. ;) We are just all glad to be feeling better.
