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.

Taylor's First Trip to the Zoo

This past week some friends of mine and their babies met at the zoo. It was Taylor's first time and I think she enjoyed it. She really got excited when she saw the monkeys. Here are a couple of pictures.

This is at the main entrance.



James, Taylor and Luke



It took a couple of pictures until we were able to get all the kids to look.



We had a good time and the weather was nice too. It was cloudy and windy which made it not so hot and the fact that we went early in the morning helped too.

Taylor is Growing!

Sorry it's been a couple of weeks since my last post. Taylor finished her swim lessons which she loved. I was never able to get the videos to post correctly so I am still working on those. She loves the water and loves to splash. She tries to blow bubbles but it's more of let's drink the water instead of blowing bubbles which is really funny. She is currently a little over 16 pounds. She has just started really eatting food like crazy. She likes everything so far except pureed green beans but will eat the green beans Clint and I make. She cut her first tooth on Clint's birthday May 12th and you can see another one coming up next to the current one. She has been a good sport about it too which is nice. Everything she gets her hands on goes into her mouth and she has been drooling like crazy. Her personality is really starting to take shape. She loves to smile and so far will go with anyone, hopefully that will keep happening.  I've noticed as long as one of us is around she is pretty good with other people. The other day at the mall she got all excitied at the man helping me at the counter and  she put her hand in the air towards him. She went right to him and just stared at him. She would look at me and then back at him. It was really cute. She loves when Clint gets home from work and will get really excitied. She'll start making noises and babble. We could of sworn the other day she said "da da"  at  him but who knows. :-)

Here are some recent pictures.

For Clint's birthday I made a sign and tried to get Taylor to hold it for a picture but she was more interested in playing  with it and putting it in her mouth.

 Her playing.

This is from when we went to Bass Pro Shop one day.

Here is a couple from around town.

Recent Pictures

Here are some recent pictures of Taylor.  She is definitely getting more and more of a personality which is really fun.

 We started taking swim lessons which is very fun. She loves the water and just splashes away. Here she is ready to go.

Here she is waiting for class to start.

This is after class is over trying to get dried off. I have a couple of videos but I've had trouble trying to post them. I'll keep trying to mess with it.
