Playing Outside

We had really great weather this past weekend (a little windy though) so we were outside pretty much all day Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Taylor loves to be outside!!!

She had her first popsicle!
On Sunday we went to Huntington to see cousin Ashton and family!

Getting ready to mow!

Ashton and Taylor going for a wagon ride

Ashton was nice enough to pull Taylor and the mower!!!

First Zoo Trip

Grandma Parker and I took Taylor to the zoo for the first time this afternoon. She seemed to like looking at the animals and of course saying "hi" to all of them. Here she is posing on a big tortoise!

Checking out the sea lions
"Come on Grandma, let's find some animals!"

Petting a goat....not too sure about those goats!

And happy to be having an outside snack later at home!

This Week

This week Taylor's been kind of sick....runny nose, cough, etc. She's looked like this most of the week.....

But the weather is warming and we spent some time outside playing with Daddy's rock pile. She would pick a rock up....
and then put it in her car. Over and over and over again!

Taylor has really figured out walking. She really only crawls now when she needs to get to something to pull herself up with.

And ignore the hair and boogers, but check out those top teeth....4 total now! Slowly but surely she'll have a full set!

Beautiful Weekend

We spent the weekend in Crown Point with Grandma and Grandpa Larkins. While Troy went to the Cubs game on Saturday, the rest of us hit the park. Taylor LOVED swinging....she threw a little fit when we tried to take her out!

Going down the big slide!
Riding the train

Playing the chimes

And probably her favorite part of the weekend was having her very own dog to play with (annoy). She probably said "HI" to Comet at least a hundred times!!!

Thanks for letting me play, Comet...now get some rest!!

Easter Sunday

We had a great Easter Sunday!! Grandma and Grandpa Parker and Grandma and Grandpa Larkins all came over to our house. When Taylor woke up she opened her basket from us and a bag from Oma and Opa.

I love the outfit, Oma!!
Reading a new book and eating animal crackers....a great way to start the morning!

After lunch she opened baskets from the Grandparents and Aunt Heather.

My new bib says it all!

Taylor and Daddy

Taylor LOVES this card that Aunt Dodie sent in the mail. It plays music when you open it and we've heard the song hundreds of times, but it doesn't get old to her!

Playing outside with bubbles

Playing some cornhole with Daddy and Grandpa

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!!!

(Here's my Easter picture....with a real bunny!)

Giggles

Taylor thought opening and closing this scrapbook was soooo funny! I love her laugh!

And She's Off!!!

Here's a video of our walker!!! She hasn't figured out how to stand up without holding on to something, so she crawls over to her chair to get started....pretty smart!!

Egg Hunt

On Sunday we went to Grandma and Grandpa Parker's house and had an egg hunt. Here are a couple pictures from our day.

Spaghetti

Daddy made spaghetti tonight....it was so good!

I wanted to eat it all by myself!

I don't need any help!!

All done!Good dinner, Daddy!

Why we wear hair bows....

Grandma and Grandpa's

We spent Wednesday of Spring Break at Grandma and Grandpa Parker's house. We found this old rocker up in the attic for Taylor to play with.

The matching horse shirt was a coincidence
Lunch and a strawberry sundae at Grandpa's DQ!

Working on her next big hit

Taylor loves this fridge farm she got for her birthday. Our fridge at home is not magnetic so she keeps it at my parents. She spent a lot of time dancing to the music!

FYI....a 3rd tooth has finally came through!
