Taylor Speak, take 2

When I first posted about Taylor's vocabulary that was only the beginning!  She is talking more and more... here are the lastest additions:

Melmo = Elmo, who she absolutely adores

Pa-pa = My dad (who is thrilled)

Eyeee = Eye

Baabaaa!!! = Football!  (she says this with such enthusiasm and points at the tv when it is on!)

Ippo = Hippo

NighNigh = she calls her blanket this, as well as "night night time"

Bye-bye

Baboo = Bubble

Ya = Yeah

Teesh = Teeth

And I'm sure there are many more to come.  She talks and babbles all the time, so I'm sure she's "saying" stuff, we just don't know it yet :)

Our fun Halloween weekend!

This weekend my mom came in town, so we had a blast hanging out with Gramma!  She arrived around 11am on Saturday, so her, Taylor and I went to lunch, then came back to the house for naps, yes all of us!  Shortly after our naps, Allison and Hailey came over for more fun.  Taylor loves her little cousin so much! 

DSC_0003 Seriously, how cute is she???

Now, Gramma may have a wee little problem… spoiling her little granddaughers!  She said that she *already* has too much for the girls for Christmas, so they received some “Halloween” gifts.  Yeah, spoiled, but that’s what Gramma’s are for, right?

Yes, it has ears, isn’t it adorable?!

Later that afternoon Daddy came home from work, and Mimi, Frankie and Fruitdog came over.  We feasted on homemade queso, guac (Frankie’s specialty), chili, cookies and brownies.  The girls got dressed up in their costumes (for a few minutes!)

Weekend & Halloween Festivities

We had such a great weekend!  Saturday, we joined up with all of our friends at the Pumpkin Patch.  The kids were all dressed up in their costumes, and looked SO cute.  I heard so many people saying “awww”, “look at them!”, “how cute!” and they were, simply precious.

DSC_0013 So excited!

DSC_0284Yes, it was next to impossible to get them all to sit still!

Afterwards we all went back to Gavin’s (ie black/white puppy dog) house for yummy food and playing.  We had a great time, but had to had out a little early to get back home.  Here are a few pictures we took.

DSC_0301 DSC_0302 DSC_0304 DSC_0305  Check out my cool bat glasses!

Finally went back home, because we had company coming over. Allison, Frankie and Hailey, Fruitdog, and Cathy was in town from OKC.  As usual, Taylor had a great time with her cousin. I can only imagine the trouble they will get into as they get older :)

DSC_0326 DSC_0328 Of course, Taylor shared her bat glasses!

The Pumpkin Patch!

We finally made it to the Pumpkin Patch!  Michael has been working so hard lately, that we had to re-schedule our original trip, but this morning it was perfect!  The weather was gorgeous, it wasn’t crowded yet, and the girl could not wait to run around as soon as we got there.

Last year, as we were posing her, sticking her head in faceless characters, and pushing her around in her stroller, someone said to us, “look out, next year she’ll be running all over the place”…and they were right!  It was like night and day compared to last year.  Taylor had such a great time.  I tried my best to get some great pictures, but it was tough – she’s fast!

First, let’s compare by looking at a few of last year’s pictures, shall we?

The Rain Can’t Stop Us…

from having fun! Michael took off work today so we could go to the Pumpkin Patch.  We were so looking forward to it…it will be like night and day compared to last year as we “posed” her for pictures.  This year, I imagine us chasing her around trying to catch a pic of something other than the back of her head.

Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate.  We left this morning, and decided to try to make it before the rain started, but it was closed :(  We’re going to try again Friday after Michael gets off work, so stay tuned for pictures.

We ended up running some errands, having lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings, and coming back to the house for a nap. After we woke up from our naps, we went to Boomerangs for some inside fun!  This was our first time, and I think all three of us had a blast.  Can’t wait to go back!

Bye!

A Fun Fall Day!

We’re so excited that the weather is finally cooling off here in Texas. Finally.  Last weekend, Taylor and I put on our new fall clothes and played outside.  She had a blast and loved wearing her boots. She has two pairs, and would sleep in them, if I let her!
