6 months!

We can't believe Taylor is 6 months old already. I know its cliche to say, but it honestly feels like just yesterday we were anxiously awaiting her arrival. Its amazing how much she has grown in the past 6 months... she is full of personality! Taylor makes us smile and laugh everyday - we feel truly blessed to have her as our daughter. She isn't crawling yet, but does very impressive "tummy time". She eats 2 baby food meals per day now, and still has no teeth! Our little Taylor can sit independently, roll from back to tummy and thoroughly enjoys dancing. There is never a dull moment here in Taylor land!

I can only imagine what's in store for us in the next 6 months... Let the games begin!

Taylor goes to Philadelphia

We had a wonderful weekend in Philadelphia. Taylor and I met up with friends for brunch on Saturday, followed by a nice walk around the city. She was in such a great mood... up until dinner time when she decided to have a mini melt down just as the food arrived. Luckily it was loud enough in the restaurant that no one except Patrick and I even knew Taylor was crying!

Rain Rain, Go AWAY!

We only had one day of sunshine this week... and Taylor has had enough of the rain! It was a good morning to just lounge around with a good book though.

sleepy

someone was ready for a nap!

music

Taylor really enjoys music, so we have been incorporating this piano that Erin & Nate gave us into play time. Usually Taylor gets really excited about playing the "piano"; however, sometimes she just stares at it waiting for it to make music on its own. She was a little tired today...

Heublein Tower

Father's Day hike to Heublein Tower

first high chair experience

Not a great picture, but... Taylor had her first high chair experience Saturday evening... She is so small inside the high chair, we tried putting a pillow behind her. She preferred sitting in Mommy's lap.

Happy Father's Day

For Patrick's 1st Father's Day Taylor planned a weekend full of fun festivities!

On Saturday Taylor and Daddy spend nice quality time together while mommy went for a long over-due hair cut... followed by lunch, mini-golf and ice cream in Farmington (sadly, the pictures from mini-golf didn't save :(  boo!) and then dinner at Burton's (an old favorite!)

On Sunday mommy and Taylor made breakfast for daddy, and Taylor planned a special outfit she knew he would like (Go Phillies!). Here she is giving daddy his card, which she sealed with MANY kisses!

Hopefully the weather is great for us the rest of today so we can go do the Heublein Tower hike! :)   Happy Father's Day Patrick!!! We love you very much!

new toys

Aunt Chris bought Taylor a very cute stuffed animal birdie, and Taylor just loves it!!

Taylor now sits in her stroller (sometimes) like a big girl... (without being in the car seat part)
