What a wonderful weekend!

The weather has been perfect this weekend. With Pete and Blair gone camping (for fun), it was just me and the girls. We had fun outside, ate lots of pizza and watched Lion King 1 1/2. We spent Saturday morning at Target shopping for new summer shoes for Bailey. I just love having fun with my girls!

Taylor-LOVING the swing :)
So pretty....
I'm gonna get you!
Big sissy is such a good helper.
Cheese face :)
Yea! Looking at the camera. Such a sweet girl.
Can you find Snick?
Bales and Tales, trying unsuccessfully at getting a group shot.

What are you looking at?

All about a pink bow.

The Bales and Tales love their daddy.....Know of anything sweeter then a US Marine with a pink hairbow? ;)

Mr. Froggy got in on the action as well.

Love.....

Taylor LOVES Snickers. She has this special sweet voice she uses just for him. Unlike Bailey, he actually tolerates Tales. I can see the two will have a special relationship in the future:)

Cheerios, oh how we love thee....

Taylor has been able to start eating the plain cheerios. This is a huge blessing as it keeps her occupied at every meal for awhile while I feed myself/get stuff ready/ etc. She is eating up to 2 jars of baby food in addition to her formula as well! It is so weird to have such a lightweight after my Bales....

See! My cheerio!
Love it!
Yummmmyyyy.....
"Taylor, look- a Cheerio!"

Potty training has begun....

We have been attempting to potty train Bailey in the past week. We have not done the strip down naked and pee in the potty all day, but are just sitting on the potty as often as possible. She had never gone to the potty really before this week and now goes a couple times a day. I am proud of her, but am ready to be rid of diapers soon!

Taylor wanted in on the potty action as well....I've had to remove all the TP and put them up high :)

Grammie, Papa and the girls at the park!

Grammie, where are you?

I see you! Can't catch me!
Grammie and Papa Cellon came to town for a couple days last week. We loved having them here and appreciated them watching the girls for us to go on a lunch date. Look forward to seeing you guys again in May.

WEEEEEE!
Grammie, look at me!
Drums, drums, drums.....We make music, yes we do!
Pretty girl making some lovely noises
Watch out Daddy!
Bailey has never met a stranger....luckily, he was willing to share his chalk :)
Papa, Grammie and Bailey enjoying a picnic lunch on one of the warmest days (high 50s) in a LONG time!
Happy Tales
Uh, oh Daddy.....really watch out with this one!
So strong.
Tales transported around in style again.

Aquarium

Our family of four went to the aquarium last week when Blair was off work. We had a blast!

Overall, we had a good day. We went to a seafood place afterward and enjoyed some fish and fries. Happy Day!

Happenings

We were hit with the stomach flu last week. First Bailey (the vector agent), then Me and Taylor, and finally Daddy. Above picture is of Bailey hanging out with Daddy when she was sick.

Concentrating so..so..so..hard!

Taylor 10 months

Taylor,

My sweet, serious, slippery baby girl. You are the light of our lives. At 10 months you are:

-sleeping from 7:30-6:30 WITHOUT waking up YAHOO!!!!

-napping from 9:30-10:30 and from 2 to 3:30

-eating prunes, pears, peaches, bananas. Not a big fan of any other food. Only eat about 1/2- 1 jar of baby food a day. Starting table food very slowly.

-Have 4 teeth! 2 bottom and 2 top

-are a master crawler. Went from not crawling to being an advanced crawler in 2 weeks!

-pulling up on everything (including Mommy, Daddy and Bailey :)).

-love being held (you are Mommy's cuddle bunny)

-You think your sister is the funniest thing ever and are starting to annoy her by taking her toys and playing with them :).

-Wave bye-bye, say hi, play peek-a-boo and pattycake. Even try to sing with us :).

Love you sweet girl, Mommy
