Fourth of July

This was Taylor's first fourth of July and we went over to a friends house in Spring Branch to enjoy some BBQ and fireworks. Taylor loves being outside except she is a sweating machine but it doesn't seem to bother her. She loved watching the kids swimming in the pool and seeing them running around. I was a little apprehensive with the fireworks because I thought she would get scared but oh no she loved them. Our friends bought some really pretty fireworks and Taylor got all excited looking at them. She was kicking her little legs and smiling while watching them. Here are a couple of pictures before we left of her playing in her room.

Here are a couple more pictures I just found from my phone.

Recent Pictures

The last couple of weeks we have been trying to stay cool since it's been so hot here. We've taken Taylor swimming a couple of times and have been hanging out with friends and family. Taylor is so funny she LOVES to smile and will smile at everyone. No matter where we are at she is smiling. She smiles at random things too which is really funny. Hopefully she'll stay happy like this.  She is trying so hard to crawl. She'll crawl for a couple of seconds and then she'll plop on the floor and do the superman or an army crawl. She has been eating lots of table food which she loves. She likes avocados, especially guacamole like daddy, peas,carrots, mash potatoes, noodles, rice, beans, and chicken. So far she hasn't been too picky with food but we will see.  Here are some recent pictures of Taylor.

Her squinting her nose.

Trying to crawl.

When she did this it was so funny. She didn't know how to get down so she stayed like this for awhile till she figured it out.

We went for a couple of days to Brady to visit my grandparents. She was loving all the attention.

Swimming Fun

This past weekend we went over to a friends house and Clint was finally able to go swimming with Taylor. The last time we went to the coast one day the guys went fishing while the girls went to the pool and the only experience Clint has had is bath time which isn't the same. Needless to say Clint had fun with Taylor in the pool.

Trinity and Taylor love each other!

9 Months Old

Taylor is getting old! I can't believe she is already 9 months old. She will be one in no time. She is still on the verge of crawling. She will rock back and forth on her hands and knees so we will see when the crawling begins. I am not looking forward to baby proofing the house. :-) When I took her for her 9 month check up she weighed 15lbs 13oz, I thought she was heavier than that. Here at home the scale reads 16lbs but oh well. The doc said everything looks great she is growing right along and he has no concerns. She is 25% for weight (she's petite) and  59 % for height. They base her percentages on her gestational age which was 7 months and 7 days and being that she was 2 months early developmentally she's moving right along. We are definitely blessed to have her and just glad she's healthy.

 For her nine month pictures I was able to get some pictures taken of her. I was so excited about how they turned out. Here are some of them.

 

Memorial Day at the Coast

For Memorial Weekend we took Taylor to the coast. She had a lot of fun on the beach. She didn't like the water though. I think the waves scared her a bit but she loved being outside and playing in the sand. She loved the pool too.

Taylor is 8 months old

So, I'm behind on my posts. Here are some pictures of Taylor at 8 months old. She is trying her hardest to crawl but no crawling yet. She wiggles like crazy and scoots on her stomach. She can make a 360 turn by pushing her hands and scooting around. She is growing like crazy. She has her 9 month check up on Friday so I'll have to let you know how much she weighs, her height and her percentiles.
