Cake Anyone?





Party Time!

Taylan's cousin Katelyn was born on June 6th so we decided to go to Kansas City and share a 1st birthday party with her. It was so fun to share his birthday with all of our family in Kansas City!



We went to Tim's Pizza (my mom's favorite) for dinner. Taylan ate LOTS of pizza. His favorite was Canadian Bacon. It was so good!



After pizza, we went back to Aunt Sherry's house for presents! His favorite off the bat was the riding firetruck that Cousin Kimmy got him.



1 Year Photos

I've been waiting for Adrienne Maples to take Taylan's photos since I found out I was pregnant. I loved my wedding photos so I figured it was a perfect opportunity to have her take Taylan's 1 year photos! He was tired from traveling and without his long solid nap so I was very worried what we would get. Adrienne pulled out her magic and I love what she got! Happy 365 days Taylan!













I even love your tears my sweet Bubbaloo!

Swing Swing Swing



Taylan and I took a trip to Kansas City for a weekend. Aunt Sherry and Uncle Jim have a swing set and Taylan had a blast in the swing! This is only the beginning of smiles for him this weekend! So much more to come!

Laundry Time

This morning Taylan decided he needed to crawl into the laundry basket. Why? We don't ask.


Then it was time to play catch with Daddy and the ball.


How do I get out of here?

11 Months Old

Take ONE:


Take TWO:


Take THREE:


Final TAKE:


Every day this smile brightens our world. Taylan started to take his first few steps on Mother's Day. He starts laughing at himself and then falls. It wont be long until he's walking on his own. Solid foods are going pretty well. He eats more and more but we still squeeze some Gerber in that belly of his! He loves to play outside and of course get dirty! Good thing he loves the bath as well! Taylan, this has been the best 11 months. Thank you my little man for all the love you have brought to us when we thought we had all the love we needed. You gave us more than we can ever imagine! Keep smiling baby smiley ray!

SMILE BIG!
