Go White Sox!!!

The Sox beat the Twins and are going to the playoffs!!! I wore my Sox sweatsuit today to show my team spirit.....I wasn't into getting my picture taken in it though. This is the best we have!

Trip to Minnesota

Taylor logged some more miles this weekend as we traveled to Minnesota/Wisconsin for Troy's cousin Matt's wedding. We had some traffic and road closure issues on the way there which made it an almost 12 hour trip for us. Taylor did great the whole time... although she is not showing her excitement in this picture.

We found a park with a baby swing on Saturday morning.
Sophie and Taylor having a picnic with the new picnic basket Oma brought for Taylor. It was an outside wedding and reception that was a lot of fun!

After a long trip she needed a biter biscuit....a new favorite and big mess!

7 Months Old!

Taylor turned 7 months old yesterday.....that seems so much older than 6 months to me!!! She is getting to be a good crawler and climber. She has liked pretty much all the solid foods we have introduced, still no teeth though! Here are a few pictures I took.

Biker Babe!

Since it was such a nice weekend, Camden and I decided to go for a Harley ride!!! Don't we look good??

I also covered Daddy up with the basket,
spent a lot of time trying to pull up on the ottoman,
jumped in the jumperoo,
tried to eat a bagel (I was very serious about my bagel),
and worked on getting some water out of my sippy cup!!!
What a great weekend!

6 Month Pictures

Here are a couple of Taylor's 6 month pictures we had taken.

Silly Girl

Taylor loves boxes and we were so lucky to have two things come in the mail this week so we have two new boxes. Checking this one out to make sure it's ours!

She is able to pull herself up to this little table (and stand for a few seconds)....she's so proud of herself!
She wanted to climb in her laundry basket so bad, so I helped her out!
While crawling to something she ended up under the jumperoo and thought it was the perfect place to play....until she couldn't figure out how to get out!

New Tub!

We are not quite ready to sit in the "big tub" but Taylor's getting too big for her little tub so we got this and I think it's going to be great (plus it quacks when you squeeze the bill). She is able to sit up, splash, and have a few toys in there.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today is Grandma Parker's birthday! I made her a sign, but all I wanted to do was chew on it!! Happy Birthday Grandma!

Weekend Fun!

We had a fun weekend at our new house. Mommy and Charity took me to our neighborhood pool for a swim before it shuts down for the season. We then had a cookout and I spent a lot of time playing with my toys.

Now I think I need to try and stand up.
Daddy and I are making music with our rattles.
Our gate for the stairs hasn't arrived yet so this is how Mom and Dad keep me in one spot!

Will Crawl for Cell Phone

Although still a "beginning crawler", Taylor will cover some ground if she has the right motivation....a cell phone, remote, or camera. Check out the video!

New House

We are very excited to finally be in our new house. We moved over the Labor Day weekend and couldn't have done it without all the help from our friends and family. Now we are just unpacking and getting settled. We really like our new neighborhood and our new neighbors. There are 20+ kids on our street that are all under 2nd grade (several babies too)!!! Taylor should be able to find a friend or two!!!

Hmmm....didn't Troy do this once before??
