May

Good Evening!

Sorry again that I have not updated here.

May has been an eventful month, I planned to post pictures from Mothers day on, but I wanted to wait until after Seth & Jeannes wedding....I have searched for the camera, but Chip yet again took it. That calls for a couple days of looking for it :)

June is very eventful...

Taylor will be attending

2 graduations my niece Trinitys & Chips

1 or 2 weddings Anne Kyle & Jesses!!!Everyone can adore her there...not fighting since both of our families will be attending!

7 birthday wishes to send from her

& my parents 22 anniversary!

Updates:
Taylor is 6 months old now.

Sitting up.

Crawling-everywhere, this does include half way onto the bottom of the coffee table to get things that I have told her "no" to...I clear things off as she reaches for them, she just goes for something else. From what I have been told, this is Chip all over again. Everything is now secure in baskets.

Eating baby food-Squash is the starter, she eats a 1/2 container in each feeding, what a start, she also nurses a bit for this feeding. I am set on tasting everything that she eats, I've tried to convince Chip, but that is a 'no go' I have a feeling he'll wait for the sweet fruits. He feeds her popsicles, she loves them...this was started by my Dad.

Today we took Taylor to the pool here at our apartment complex. The water was very nice, the water was not. Chip refused to get in at first but eventually did. Taylor LOVED the water, she kicked her feet non stop! I hope next year to teach her how to swim. yes at 1 1/2. I have a cousin that bought a video on how to teach young children. I loved swimming and hope she will as well. My mother only swims when necessary, but she says she cannot swim. I lost my best friend when I was younger to an under tow, although not many people can get out of an undertow by swimming...it will give me a bit of security knowing that she can swim, even if it is not perfectly.

Just 1 short week until Chip graduates!!!!!!!!!!!! June 5th!

hope to see many of you there!

Aunt Annie, if you came on to show Moo, sorry I left so much for you to read, I will put only pictures with short captions in the next blog! :)

just a few updates..

Since I have failed to keep up with posting pictures since I HATE to put them on the computer, I will try to start doing that as well as making my CDs and printing them...
A few updates on Taylor.
She is rolling over, non stop. movign her toys wherever she wants them, picking EVERYTHING up, destroying magazines, we've learned to keep Chips school books off of the bottom of the coffee table, she jumps in her jumperoos like there is no tomorrow, she stand up great with the spport of her excersaucer (sp?) her pacifier is her new love, she wants it all the time, put it in your mouth within her reach & she will be sure to take it from you! She has been sitting up on her own, once sat up by one of us (-not sitting herself up-) She is trying her hardest to get the balance to crawl & push up legs & knees at the same time.
Last week I took her to play with a little boy a month older than her, they recognized one another and grabbed for each other, we laid them on the floor facig each other, he pulled Taylors hair, she cried & in return took his toys out of his hand- how intelligent!
Pulling hair is her new "thing" Chip realizes this every morning when I put her in bed with us, which she takes over & makes sure that she is comfortable.

Hope I didn't miss anything. Chip will be having more time off in the coming weeks, so we will be traveling to the Shore more often, cannot wait for everyone to see her & for us to see everyone!
Chip is on a 10 week count down, only having school 2 days a week, but certainly busy days!
He is also hoping to go to the islands to work come this winter, Tortola is in his view for now, Chefs at his school think he'll get right into it with no problem...I would love for him to go to Bermuda, which he originally looked into, maybe next time!

See everyone soon. Hugs & kisses to all!
