A Birthday Breakfast

Today our sweet baby girl turns 1 year old! And what better way to start the day off than with a pancake breakfast? This girl loves her pancakes even if it didn't have chocolate chips and whipped cream on top!

More fun to come throughout the day!

9 Month Check-up

Friday we had a morning visit to Dr. Robert's office for Miss T's 9-month check-up. He walked in the room smiling and said "Oh Taryn, short and skinny, that's just how you're going to be!" We thought she'd gotten really tall in the past few months because some of her pants got too short. But I guess when you still fit in to 3-6mos size pants they should be getting short! But to us, she's our tiny little princess and we love her to pieces!

Here's a breakdown of her stats:
Weight: 16lbs, 1oz (10%)
Height: 27 inches (15%)
Head: 17 1/4 cm (27%)

She's movin on up the growth chart which is great news!

We are long overdue for a photoshoot so maybe if I nag Evan enough we'll get some fun new photos to post soon!

0 to 60 in 3 Seconds

Okay so not quite THAT fast but pretty speedy in my opinion. And as a side note, I don't typically let my child run around in only a diaper but this was right before bath time and with no clothes on she thinks she can go even faster to try and get her hands on Lacy.

Who's Big Stuff Now?

This weekend Taryn had a few firsts that I captured on my phone...sorry for the poor quality pics, blame it on Apple :)

After almost tumbling over in her carseat and then almost knocking our table over by kicking it while still strapped in the carseat we decided she was ready for the big girl highchair at restaurants! I think her favorite part is banging on the table demanding more Cheerio's, I think we've created a monster!

And since she thinks she's a grownup we decided it was time to ride in the shopping cart like a big girl. Aunt Kel gave her this awesome shopping cart cover because she was born to shop and she rode in style around Target. Yes, we looked like idiots trying to figure out how it worked. Evan kept saying "Let's get out of the way and figure this out". But really he was saying "let's go down this aisle that no one ever goes down so people won't laugh at us." Who wouldn't love buying Pampers while sipping on some milk??

Austin Roadtrip

We took a quick trip down to Austin this weekend to visit some of our dearest friends, Lindsey and Jim. We had so much fun catching up and spending time together. The 4 of us hadn't been together since last summer and this was their first time to meet Taryn! Thankfully she was on her best behavior and loved her first roadtrip. Can't believe this was her first time to be in the car for more than 45 minutes at a time...I guess when Mama works for an airline you don't take many roadtrips.



Lindsey and I met on the first day of 5th grade when we were both starting a brand new school...wow...we've been friends for over 15 years! But don't we look young and beautiful :)


Charlie cat was the most laid back little guy and he even let Taryn get close. She didn't quite know what to do since she rarely gets to touch her own cats. She's used to Lacy and Syd running as fast as they can when they see her coming.


Aunt Lindsey you make an awesome highchair but sorry we kept getting your glass table all dirty!

Thanks Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Jim for a fun weekend, let's do it again soon!!

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!!
