Silly Willy

WHAT??? Lately Willy has been found in the wierdest places.

5 Months Old

It seems like just 5 short months ago I was at the hospital with our new addition to our family... oh wait... it was 5 months ago. I can not believe how time goes by right under your nose. At 5 months of age, the biggest news we have is that Taylan has 2 teeth popping up through his lower gums. TWO!!! Taylan loves his exersaucer and loves to roll and roll and roll. Tonight I found him in his crib doing the downward dog. I know he does some yoga on Wednesday's at daycare but I don't think they are learning the downward dog at this point. It was so funny to see him up on his toes and hands ... then fall to the side like a falling timber tree! He laughed and got up and did it again. I think we are going to have my hands full when he gets older. Little dare devil is going to keep mamma's heart pounding hard. What a fun month it's been.

Awww........ Lola

She looks sweet doesn't she?.... She is.

Proud Taylan Keeps on Rollin'

Taylan loves to roll and roll and roll over and over and over. Toss in a few giggles and a few smiles and I have one heck of a proud baby. He loves to roll and then look around for me. Once he sees that I notice him, he grins from ear to ear; so proud of himself! It's pretty darn cute.

Uncle Jason & Aunt Lisa Visit

Last weekend Uncle Jason and Aunt Lisa came to visit. Aunt Lisa got to babysit Taylan on Friday while Uncle Jason went to work. Little spit up, Little poopy diaper, little drool... but big love and big fun and big snuggles.

Jumpy Jumpy Jumpy!

We (and when I say we... I really mean Dave) got the exersaucer put together for Taylan. HE LOVES IT! he is a very active little man and loves to jump up and down and up and down and up and down. I love watching him play on this thing because he gets the biggest smile and giggles on his face. Every so often he stops, looks up at me and is SO proud of himself and just starts smiling and cooing all over again!

Thanksgiving with the Butlers

This past weekend Taylan and I took a trip to Indianapolis to celebrate an early Thanksgiving dinner with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Jason and Aunt Lisa. Taylan got his first taste of mashed potatoes and lots of play time and a lot of cuddle time! It was a very special Thanksgiving for us.

Willy the Wildcat

Okay so maybe not so "wild" right here but every cat needs a good nap!

First Halloween

BOO!


At day care, Miss Sabina had a party. This was Taylan's costume during the day. BOO! The party was fun. We had pizza and everyone got to dress up. There was a pumpkin decorating contest as well. We thought we had the contest won but turns out, we came in second place to our good friends Lili and Diego. They painted their pumpkin like Mickey Mouse. It was a great pumpkin but I still think we got jipped. Look at our gorgous pumpkins!!!



For trick-or-treating, Taylan was a bumble bee. The party must have really wore him out because he ended up falling asleep as we were trick-or-treating. Candy must not interest him much. Let's hope he doesn't pick up on his mom and dad's love for candy. The costume was so cute but Taylan didn't really enjoy it much. Who would have thought that it would have been 70 degrees on Halloween night?? But it was worth it to stuff him into this bumble bee costume so I could see my little BAY-BEE on his first Halloween.



This is Taylan's friend Lili. She is our neighbor and our trick-or-treating stroller buddy. Look at Taylan. He's not really into the whole costume and getting candy idea yet. ha ha!



Happy Halloween! You are my favorite BAY-BEE of all times. You can sting my heart any day Mr. Ray! I love you!

Just Ducky

I just love bath time!
