9 months...

Our monthly photo shoot has always has it's ups and downs...this one was no different!

Had to show off her tiny pony tail that I'm so proud of!

Love this!

And now she has had enough...

She is growing so fast.

What she is doing these days:

She is crawling everywhere, getting faster by the second! No more scootin' on her belly!

She is saying Momma and Dadda a lot! When she gets upset she will yell, "Momma"!

She says Hi and Bye and waves with it! She seems to know the correct way to use it too!

As of Memorial Day when we were in Alma swimming, she says Laura (very clearly!-which makes Tracy soooo mad. All the other nieces and nephews said Tracy first!) Since she discovered this new word I have heard her say it a ton!

She says Uh-oh and draws out the ohhhhh to make it super cute!

And she says something that sounds like "ball" but normally is playing with blocks when she says it, so I think she is confused.

Said Taylor, pronounced "aylor" the other day when Tobey and Nicki were trying to get her to talk.

She doesn't like being thrown in the air anymore-she holds on super tight if you try to! She also clenches onto you if you pretend like you are going to drop her.

She pulls up on everything to stand! And likes to walk holding our hands! She is a little too brave though...she will reach for you when you aren't looking and fall on her face!

As you can see, she is getting a little hair!

and NO teeth still!

Here is Taylor after pullng up on her activity center. That tongue is stuck out of course! Sorry, for the lack of clothes.

Funny story: Shortly after this was taken, she was tapping her foot and put it in the floor of the activity center. Then the center started turning and she was holding on so tight she was shaking but she wasn't about to fall (she hates falling down these days). She looked at me and screamed. I rescued her, but it was hilarious!

Just love this pic

She loves her Dadda!

Taylor's 1st Memorial Day!

What a good Memorial Day! And Taylor started REALLY crawling today! Not just scooting and crawling once or twice, but full blown crawling everywhere!

WARNING: Picture heavy! There were so many fun ones I had to include them all!

Hanging out by the pool at Mamaw and Papaw's

Riding on the 4-wheeler with dadda. She loved that!

I love splashing!

Trying out my moves from swim class!

Hanging out in the baby pool that dadda pumped warm water into since the big pool was freezing!

We had a rule that 5 yrs old and under only in the baby pool. You wouldn't believe how bad those older kids wanted in so when Taylor got out we told them they could have a ball! So they all jumped in...then we went on to tell them that babies sometimes pee pee in the pool (and Keegan) and out they went! Ha ha ha!

She loved this cat that Mamaw and Papaw have taken in since their neighbors moved and left him behind!

Then I caught one!

It was a great day and only rained for part of it so we did get to go outside for awhile!

Another Openin', Another Show Recital

My first Mother's Day!

I know this is way late, but thought I would tell you about my first Mother's Day! IT WAS WEIRD! ME, a mom? Still doesn't seem right. I just don't feel like I am old enough to be a mom. Taylor (and Travis) surprised me with a new pair of TOMs. My very favorite shoes these days! Taylor made me a card at daycare and church! Here are a few pics of her with the goodies!

Right after my parents left to go back to LR, Travis said he wanted to take mine and Tay's pic for Mother's day...so we went out back...and that's when I saw my new camera!!!!

This was me realizing that was a new camera Travis was holding!

And these are pics I took with it to try it out!

Taylor helping mom cut coupons!

UPDATE: unfortunately the camera ended up being a dud! We returned it within 2 weeks and are in the process of looking for a better one!
