I'll Pass on the Carrots

This week I thought I'd try making some homemade baby food so I started with something easy...carrots. So far Taryn's been eating peas, sweet potatoes, bananas and prunes (in moderations...ha) and she's liked everything, until tonight.

Cute Pics

And now time for a few of my favorite recent pictures :)















And a few not so fancy snap shots that were too precious not to share...

My 1st Mother's Day

I've been a terrible mommy blogger lately but I had to share a few pictures from my first Mother's Day! Every mom says this but I truly am the luckiest mom ever to have a precious little angel who makes me laugh and smile more than I could have ever imagine. And I don't know how I'd survive without such an amazing husband who puts up with me every single day...and trust me what I say that I give him a lot to put up with :). Plus he's the best daddy in the world to our princess!

We had a fun and relaxing day with just the 3 of us. We played hookie from church and lounged around and then went to have lunch and bum around town. I just love spending time as a family and it seems like with all the chaos and busy-ness lately we haven't dedicated nearly enough time to family fun!

Look What I Can Do...

...or maybe it should say look what I can ALMOST do! This week Taryn has finally been able to sit up for a little bit all on her own.

Happy Half Birthday!

Can you believe it, our little boss turned 6 months old on Sunday! How in the world has time gone so fast?!?!?! Every single day we are so thankful to have her in our lives and it's been such so fun to watch her little personality emerge. We love watching her face light up and seeing that gummy smile! Before Taryn was born we knew without a doubt we would love her to pieces but I can't even begin to describe how much we really LOVE her!

Even though she's 6 months old she's still a little squirt. She had to make a quick trip to the pediatrician this week so we found out she's weighing 12lbs 6oz. Because of her super sensative tummy we've waited to start her on solids, other than rice cereal and oatmeal. Until...today! I let her taste sweet peas last night and I packed them in her school bag today with a little warning that this is a new experience for her. Hopefully most of the peas will make it in her mouth instead of on her clothes!

Happy 6 Month Birthday sweet baby girl!!

Her hair is still as crazy as the day she was born
