Time Flies!

Wow, how time flies! It feels like just yesterday Taylor entered into our live, but it has been 5 1/2 months and she is getting sooo big, for she is now about 26 inches and 13 1/2 lbs. It feels like everyday she learns or does something new. Sorry, I have not been as efficient on keeping the blog updated, but between me going back to work and our computer dieing, I have not had the time or the means in doing so. However, here I am at Penny's house and I am on a mission to update it to the present.

I am going to start with oldest events and work my way forward:

Taylor has started holding her own bottle (sometimes)



We have even been to Disneyland already together.



Kurt went with his grandparents (Dale and Inez) and his parents to Canada. While in Canada the men went on a 3 day fishing trip, where they caught several fish, but the prize fish was a 30 lb. salmon, which Kurt caught. He was very proud and excited! It looks like there are going to be many salmon dinners in our future. YUM!

That is one HUGE fish!
(remember Kurt is 6'4")

As you can see in the pictures above Kurt has a goatee. While on paternity leave he decided to grow one, it got pretty full, it finally got to the point where it wasn't prickly, but then he had to go back to work and shaved it off.

This summer Taylor has become quite the "water baby". We are in the water together at least once a week, and she LOVES it. She splashes, kicks, swings her arms, and LAUGHS up a storm. Grandma Penny recently got her a floaty and it makes the pool that much more fun (and less stressful...for me).
Here are some pictures of her and us in the pool:
Baby's First Swim

Getting ready for the water!

-Taylor's first dunk, she was not too sure of it, as you can see in the picture that
follows

But now we are dry and happy!

The many swims that have followed

Here we are at the Del Mar Fair getting our foot and hand print done:


There have been many other events, but not everything gets captured on camera or film. Taylor is now rolling, she started with back to front as now has succeed it going the other direction also, front to back. I know she did it backwards, but what can I say, but maybe it is a clue of what is to come. Now that she is rolling, she thinks it is funny to try and get the dogs, they are great with her and think it is fun too.

Here is Taylor at 5 months:

"There I roll"

Here is an interesting way to sleep:
