Chillin Poolside

Taryn heard big sunglasses are hip so she had to get herself a pair and sport them at the pool today! Good thing there weren't any little boys there because they would have been checkin her out...ha!

Dancing Alphabet Girl

I've been a terrible blogger but hopefully I'll get caught up soon because a lot has happened over the past month! Here's cute video of Miss Taryn learning to dance at the same time she's learning her ABCs. We sang ABCs so many times tonight that it won't stop playing in my head...ahhh!!

Start Your Engines

I'll let you take a look at these fun pictures and then I'll explain...

Go Faster Mommy, Faster!

I'll just close my eyes and hope she knows what she's doing

If you know my dad then you know he's a major car buff. His most recent purchase was an official Pace Car from the Brickyard 400 and as you can tell, the adult version of the car came with a matching go-cart that is supopsed to be for Miss T. We all know the likelihood of any of us ever getting to drive this little car is slim-to-none so I'm sure Gramps will have to buy a rough and tough go-cart once Taryn is old enough. RJ and I had one growing up and we had more fun than you could imagine. Dad put wood block on the pedals since our legs were too short to reach (hmmm...that might have been a sign that we were too young to drive)! And after an "incident" that resulted with me on the asphalt he even installed seat belts.

During our impromtu visit to Meme and Gramps we also took some time to play...

Toys at Meme's house are way more fun that at home

...even if they are from the 1980s

Supposedly avocado green high chairs are making a comeback

On the Move

I think we're about to have a crawler on our hands any day now!

Copycat

Taryn's new thing is to try and copy whatever we do. Here's a cute video of her playing around with Mommy!

Little Girl in a Big Chair

These pictures of Taryn in her big high chair were too hilarious not too share. For the past few months we've been feeding her in the Bumbo chair which fits her just right. Our friends, Rolando and Shandra, gave us this nice highchair so we thought we should get it out and start putting it to use.

And then Evan had a fish-eye type lens on his camera so the pictures were even funnier! I love how her little toes barely reach the end of the seat and she is almost resting her chin on the tray!

1st Pool Party

This weekend we went to our first pool party of the season! Our friends, Stan and Bekah, had a great pool put in the end of last summer and they invited a bunch of friends over to swim and grill out. Bekah gave Taryn a bikini before she was even born but its still way too big for her so we ran out on Saturday morning and got her this super cute suit. She loves baths but we weren't sure how she'd like the pool. In the beginning she wasn't quite sure what was going on but by the end of the evening she was kicking around under the water and making little splashes!

Gramps, if you read this Taryn told me to tell you she's ready for you to install a big pool (with a slide) at your house!!

We also have a few cute videos but we need to edit the size before we can post them...hopefully I'll get that done tomorrow night.
