Ice Cream Birthday Party!

We had an Ice Cream Party for Miss Taylee.  

My cute sister in law made her invites. 

My mom made the adorable table cloth

Some of the toppings and root beer for root beer floats.

Jason cut out a wood #1 and then I covered it with sprinkles.

My mom had this yellow frame and it worked perfect for her party.

The favors!

I used chalk board markers which I like a lot better then chalk!

The birthday girls spot!

Taylee and Grandma. 

Her new toy!

present time!

I love her face! We all started singing to
her and she was not sure what was going on

She didn't like the frosting on her hands
but she did like it once she got to the cake!

Maybe a little too much cake!

Thanks for everyone who came to help celebrate her special day. We sure do love this little girl!  

12 Months!

My baby is ONE!! time seriously goes so fast I have loved every stage (in different ways) and love watching her grow and learn new things.

At 12 months Taylee

Sleeps about 10 hours at night and one 2 hour nap
She loves to eat and eats what we eat.
She is officially done nursing but does not love Cows milk yet (were working on it)
She will stand by her self for a long time and can stand up in the middle of the room with out having to pull herself up.
She has taken a few steps but still choses to crawl everywhere.
She loves stuffed animals and always cuddles them when she sees one.
She loves the bath and yells at me when I get her out.
She says mom, dadda, uh-oh, and points to everything and says whats that? she also talks in her own language :)
She weighs 22 pounds and is 75% and is 30 inches long 95%
She wont keep bows or headbands in. Its a constant battle that I will win :)
She loves her dad, when he is home she rarely wants anything to do with me.

We love her so much!
She had her Ice Cream birthday party and it was so much fun! (post on that to come)

1 year photo shoot!

I cant believe miss Taylee will be a year in a week!
My super talented SIL Caprice took her pictures, and I love them!! Here are just a few or a little more then a few :)
We sure do love this little girl!

My mom made her Birthday Crown! so cute!

She seriously has the best cheeser!

11 months!

I cant believe my baby is 11 months! I swear I just had her!

I think its safe to say that she is becoming more and more like a toddler and less like a baby!

At 11 months she stands all by herself.

She is into everything!!

She is no longer eating baby food, and eats pretty much everything we eat. She is a really good eater!

She is now in a big girl car seat (still rear facing)

She loves stuffed animals! she hugs them and lays all over them! Anytime we go to the store I give her one to keep her entertained

At 11 months she also
claps her hands
says Uh-oh (sounds like Uh-awe)
says mama , dada
clicks her tongue
Still loves the bath
Loves almost all food
loves to put blankets or clothes over her head and play peek a boo
She goes to bed around 8 and usually wakes up once but we just let her go back to sleep on her own. Hopefully some day she will be an awesome sleeper!
She loves the dog
She has 4 teeth and got them all at once!
She has us wrapped around her little finger.


We think she is pretty cute :)

Soaking up the summer days

Since Fall is in the air we have been enjoying the last few summer days!!

We had a fun park day!

We went to the Zoo!

She was out cold by the end of the day!

We have had a fun summer, but I am looking forward to fall, and all the Holidays that are coming up!!

Peach Days

Peach Days has been a tradition in my family since i was little. My mom grew up in Brigham and my grandparents still live there. This year was fun to take Taylee. We went to the parade, the carnival, and looked through the little booths.

She really liked the parade at first.....

Then every time the band hit their drums or their was a loud siren she would shut her eyes really fast!

Then once the cowboys shot their guns.. she lost it!! I dont blame her!

They love their grandma!

We let her try some cotton candy!

Not sure if she likes it.

Me and Chelsea decided we would be fun and go on a ride at the carnival... NEVER AGAIN!! We went on the orbit (or something like that) I was so sick after that I had to lay on my grandmas couch for at least 30 minutes. Me and pretty much anything that involves Motion dont go together very well.

Right before the ride!!
