A time for celebrations...

This past weekend, we were in Dallas celebrating the marriage of our good friend Maegan to her wonderful husband Eli. We had so much fun at the wedding catching up with old friends (Sinead, Tom, Katie, Martin, Kelly and Matt) - thank you for allowing us to be a part of it. It was a great excuse to dress up and put a bow on Taelyn! If you are looking at this picture and thinking that is a big bow, there was another baby with one even bigger - not kidding. I think she looks cute and Taelyn didn't seem to mind all the extra attention she was getting!

So many new things...

Okay, so I have been bad about not updating the blog in a few weeks - so sorry. Taelyn continues to do amazing things everyday. She has 2 teeth now on the bottom (I attached a picture for you all to see) and she is really thinking about crawling. We have been saying that for a couple weeks now, but the day is very near. She just needs to move her hands forward. She finally has gotten to where she will pick up one hand to grab something and stay in the crawl position - that is a big accomplishment! Next the moving forward part... we will see. In addition to crawling she has really found her tounge this week. It is pretty funny watching her stick it out and lick her lips. Babies are so amusing, aren't they?

Has it already been 6 months?

How time flies! It really is pretty easy to see how quickly time passes when you are looking at a baby that has only been alive so many months. Taelyn is getting so big, as babies do! She is still such a joy in our lives, even now while she is cutting her first tooth... although we have to remind ourselves when she has a tough time falling asleep or wakes up in the middle of the night just needing more oral-gel! Besides the tooth, she is busy sitting up by herself and eating solid foods. Right now, her favorite food is sweet potatoes, but I am sure as she tries other things that will change.

Trip to Granbury & Dallas

This weekend we took a trip to see Grannie Norman and my aunts, uncles and cousin. We had a great time swimming with Aunt Judy & Uncle Sid. It was Taelyn's first time in a swimming pool - she liked it so much that we are going to have Daddy get us one too! :-) In a couple years maybe... After we left Granbury, we headed to Dallas for a wedding shower honoring Maegan & Eli. Taelyn was the youngest there, but she didn't seem to mind until it was her bedtime and people wouldn't be quite and let her sleep. We made an early departure and had a good rest of the night. Congrats to Eli & Maegan - we are excited for you!

Fun in the Sun for July 4th

We had a good time July 4th weekend with several friends that came to visit from Houston and San Antonio. It was full house for a few days with fun for the adults and kids! We also spent a day at Lake Travis and Taelyn enjoyed "swimming" in her boat that Grandma and Granpa Martin gave her... dressed very patriotic in her stars & stripes suit!
