Christmas Morning

The Update

It has been a crazy few months...since Thanksgiving it has been none stop, it feels like Christmas came faster this year. It has been a great holiday...full of laughter and joy. Taylor experienced her first Christmas, which meant meeting Santa Claus (she is NOT a fan...yet), meeting lots of people, and presents. She did not get the opening the presents part, she'd remove a piece of wrapping paper, try and eat it, and then get distracted. Opening presents consisted more of mom and dad opening the presents and showing them to Taylor. Also, Taylor has been working on walking. She is an expert glider, a pro walker holding only one hand, and a semi-pro holding no ones hands. She walks a little and tumbles A LOT, she always seems to have some sort of bump or bruise lately. But it doesn't seem to slow her down any.

Also, this holiday we took our first plane ride. The plane ride took us to Northern California to visit my mom's side of the family for New Years. She did GREAT! Luckly, none of the flights we had were full...so we were able to have a whole seat for Taylor.

Still Resisting Naps...

Precious...

More about Taylor...of course!

Every time I think about Taylor being 9 months I am amazed, for it seems like it was just yesterday we were driving home with her in the car for the first time, Kurt driving at snails pace and taking every turn so cautiously. Man, time flies. Now Taylor is a master crawler and working on becoming a beginner walker. Her favorite thing is to pull herself up on anything, walls, furniture, you and walk. She sometimes forgets that she has not yet mastered the skill and tries to turn to chase the dogs and falls face first. Poor Girl! If you want to be Taylor's new best friend all you have to do is let her grab your fingers and walk her around, instant love! Kurt and I know how lucky we are, Taylor is easy going and just...so...happy, she makes our work easy.

Here is a video to share about Taylor learning the benefits of having two dogs.

Just an Update

Happy Late-Halloween

We got a third dog...hehehe...

She put up a Fight!

So, tonight Taylor did NOT want to go to bed, which has been a pattern that is beginning...the NO NAP syndrome. She puts up a stink, but eventually she goes down. Here is how she fell asleep tonight...she was so tired...she was crying then all of a sudden...silence, it was a little odd, so I went to check on her to see if she was okay and this is how I found her. It was priceless, poor thing just passed out.

Visit to the Pumpkin Patch

I am back in the blogging spirit, mostly it is because we finally got a new battery for the camera (member we left our original one in Laughlin). Yes, it has been that long since we have had a working camera. But...not to worry we did have a camcorder, but not helpful for the blog, because I cannot transfer the camcorder video onto the computer. Something about the wrong cords and programs...it was much too technical for me, that's Kurt's job.

Well..I cannot believe Halloween is almost here and more, I cannot believe that my baby is practically 9 months, where does the time go? This is Taylor's first Halloween season, so of course, we had to visit a pumpkin patch. She had a BLAST! She loved the giant pumpkins, she'd pound on them, they would make a thump sound, she would laugh, and because she was laughing so hard, she'd fall over. It was quite the sight! We caught some of the moments on camera. Enjoy!
