8 months old, crawling and more teeth on the way…




I think I say this every month, but it is so hard to believe that Taelyn is already 8 months old! She is crawling everywhere now and it is sometimes tough for me to remember that if I leave her in one spot, she might not be there when I come back after just a couple minutes. She is quick and is into everything, so luckily we don’t have too many things on her level that she can mess with. The dog toys are fair game and Butter is starting to realize that – who doesn’t like a squishing, squeaking rubber ball? She pulls up on some things, but only if they are right in front of her. She doesn’t quite have the strength to reach up and pull her body to a standing position, but soon enough I am sure!

In addition to the crawling, she is getting more teeth. She has the two on the bottom and is now getting her 2 front teeth and maybe the 2 on either side of those. There is a lot going on in that little mouth, but she has been pretty easy going for the most part. During the day she is happy-go-lucky like normal, but occasionally at night when she is going to sleep, she is cranky. Overall, she is doing well and seems to have a pretty high threshold for pain – something she must get from her daddy, because her mommy feels everything!
We spent the weekend with Grammie and Gramps in San Antonio where she had a good time playing with their doggie's toys... and her grandparents!

Fall means "Time to Hunt"











This past weekend Chad did a little dove hunting with some friends and Taelyn wanted to support him in bringing home some yummy snacks… not that she would be eating any, but still! She put on her hunting attire to match Daddy and definitely looked like a natural hunter.
