Happy Halloween

Taylor's first Halloween and our first Halloween in Lubbock. Tyson carved the angry monkey from the "Family Guy" TV show. Taylor was the cutest penguin. Surprisingly, she didn't mind her outfit. In fact, we think that she was quite fond of her flippers! We didn't do any trick-or-treating....Taylor got dressed up mainly for pictures!

Taylor approves of Tyson's pumpkin!

Happy Halloween!!

Welcome!

Welcome to Taylor's new blog site! We will be posting pictures and videos (hopefully) on this site from here on out.

Taylor is doing super! She's just over six months old. She's scooting around all over the place. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. We're pretty sure she'll be crawling before Thanksgiving.

She's doing great at eating her food. We've been introducing new fruits and vegetables into her diet, and so far, she hasn't found a flavor she doesn't like. She's even starting to eat in her highchair! She's becoming such a big girl!

She "talks" all of the time. We're pretty sure that her first word is going to be "Belle"....or rather, "No Belle!!" It still seems like Belle is the only one that can really make her laugh. We can generate the occasional giggle, but nothing makes her laugh like a dog can!

Taylor and Belle

While Tyson was playing the guitar for Taylor, Belle felt compelled to lay her head in Taylor's lap. Such love for each other!!

Taylor LOVES to get Belle!

Belle is such a good sport!

Taylor loves her Belle!!

Say Cheese!

Taylor had her first professional pictures taken on Sunday. She did so good. In the beginning, we got her to smile pretty easily. After we changed her into her overalls, she was getting tired, so we were really having to work hard to get some smiles. In the end, she was a trouper and we got some great pictures!

Taylor's first professional pictures! She did awesome. We got lots of smiles from her!

Oh boy! If she keeps practicing this look, she'll get away with murder!

At the Pumpkin Patch

Mimi and Poppa came to visit this weekend!! We took Taylor to an apple orchard to go pick some fresh apples, but there were no apples!! The orchard lost their entire crop during a freeze back in April.....sounds oddly familiar.....could it have been the same cold weekend that Taylor was born?!?

But there were plenty of pumpkins to choose from. We even snapped a few pics of Taylor sitting with the pumpkins!

Taylor sitting by some weird-looking pumpkins!! And she's not too sure about the hay!

No smiling here. Taylor's too busy trying to figure out what the heck is going on!

We found a cute little wooden chair to prop Taylor up in. She's still not too sure about what we were doing there!

Finally! Some pumpkins that were just her size!
