A big month for Taylor!!

This was such a big month for our little babe (who just turned 7 months)! She has said her first word. . . .Mama! I am so excited! She's kinda figuring out the association of me with the word as well. It's pretty cute! Then at beginning of 6 months - she started sitting up unassisted pretty well. She's got it down now and most of her falls are intentional as she reaches for a toy. She's pretty much got the going from sitting to tummy thing down as well ecspecially because. . . . .

She's rolling! I don't think this is a rolling pic but you know what a roll looks like. She started rolling back to front right at 6 months (like a few days after Christmas I think) and then a couple weeks later - she got the whole belly to back roll. Now she's champ and thinks it's a game. It's hilarious to watch! But now that she's on the move - we'd better watch out because. . . . . .

Okay no - she's not crawling but she is creeping a bit (This is her stealing Reagan's Balloon - you can tell she thinks that she's sneaky) so before we know it I'm sure! We'll have a crawler. Reagan was content with rolling for a couple months before she took the crawling plunge so we'll see what Baby sis has in mind.

Problems with Food is obviously a thing of the past. She's doing so well and has ditched the rice for oatmeal. She's also tried Sweet Potatoes and Peas and loves those peas! Next is carrots, green beans and then maybe squash. She's had a taste of avacado and loved that as well.

AND. . . . . .we have a tooth!!! After a couple weeks of rough sleeping (poor thing - Mommy and daddy thought she was just off a bit from the hectic Holidays) this little guy popped up. At first he came alone but Mommy thinks his next door buddy is on the way soon! Such a surprise though! Reagan didn't get her first tooth until 10 months so by that age we were checking so frequently - we were expecting it but 6 (almost) 7 months is early for al of us. Isn't it cute! It's not totally in yet so look closely on the bottom.

Secret, Secret!

Secret, secret! I have a secret! I just loved this pic and had to post it! The girls are getting closer all the time! We love it! The giggling back and forth, playing on the floor. Eagerly helping Mommy with "Babycakes" and Taylor watching and adoring her sissys every move. they are such blessings!

Stock Show

So - this year Mana and Papa asked to take Reagan to the Stock Show. At the last minute - Daddy was called into work so Taylor and Mommy decided to join. We all had so much fun even though it was the most crowded place EVER!! If we make it next year - we'll go during the week.

Taylor and Mommy in the petting zoo. this isn't the best pic to show it but Taylor loved the animals! She was kicking and squealing!

Okay so is this a Llama? I thought it was but Jake thinks otherwise. Maybe an Alpaca? I still say Llama. Anyhow - this was the SWEETEST guy EVER! Reagan loved him and he had just sat down for her so this is her thinking she's going to climb on and get a ride. Reagan sweetie - this isn't your cat. =) It was tough getting her out of the petting zoo but she did well!
Reagan with Mana and Papa
Reagan HAD to have a horse on her face. I wanted to pay $3 NOT $9!!!! So Good Ol' Mana paid 1/2 so Reagan could get what her and Mana wanted. Goodness. =) It's pretty though!
I love this pic!! My Dad was carrying Reagan on and off most of the day. Reagan doesn't do the stroller anymore and Papa doesn't do patience so once he started carrying her - she realized he was her new mode of trnsportation. Poor guy -bunk knee and everything with a 37 pounder on your shoulders. He thought shoulders would be easier but realized after about 3 minutes it wasn't. Wait until you see the back view (scroll down). . . . .

Hee, hee! How could I not take this picture?? Funny thing about this - Jake calls Bree (Reagan's auntie) Butt crack for this same reason. Girls and womens jeans today - I tell ya.

Taylor and her Boyfriend romance. She LOVES this little bear! It was actually Reagan's from her Great Grandparents. Taylor did SO well at the Stock Show and we were there a long time! Such a good sport!

Poor thing! I couldn't find a restroom (although they're everywhere there) and Taylor was SUPER wet and leaking so she got changed in her carset by the stinky cows with all of us blocking her from view. She didn't seem to mind though.
