HaPpy HaLf BiRtHdaY TaYtuM!!

So recently Taytum has learned how to stick her tongue out and blow. It is so funny and she just laughs and does it more. We love her so much and she is getting so fun with all of the new things that she is learning.

For her half birthday lunch, we decided to introduce her to vegetables. We gave her some sweet potatoes and she loved it and hardly pulled a face but kept reaching for more.

She is also getting very good and sitting with some support and reaches and hold her bottle.

Happy 6 months Taytum. We love you!!

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2010

New Years Eve found us at home with not much to do, nor did we care much to go out, but we managed to stay awake and tell each other Happy New Year at midnight! We went to bed knowing we wouldn't be getting much sleep because we had set the alarm for 4:30 a.m to go ice fishing. Thanks to a noisy neighbor and Taytum waking up at 3:00 we managed to get about 2 hours of sleep but it was worth it because we had so much fun.

Kyle and one of his many fish!!

You would never believe but we caught close to 200 fish. We both lost count after 80. Every time we dropped our line in the hole, a fish was on, it was crazy fun and it turned out to be a beautiful day. And I might just add that I definitely caught more fish than Kyle this time and he was fishing with two poles to my one. Love you sweetie! As you can see we mainly caught perch but a few of us were able to catch a few browns as well. We brought home 30 fish and had a nice perch dinner.

Taytum only wished she was old enough to come ice fishing but we left her with Grandma Paxman and the two of them had a great day together. We went out for about 2 minutes because i wanted to see her reaction to snow and show off one of her many hats that she got for Christmas.

PHOTO SHOOT

So we had some family pictures done and while we were at it, I had a lady do some pictures of Taytum as well, in many different outfits and poses. She did pretty good considering we were making her dress and sit in certain ways. We caught a few smiles, her beautiful blue eyes and classic Tayter poses.

I love her blue eyes.

She just may have inherited something from her mother in that she hates the frill and lace. I love how she's is totally disgusted in having to sit there but is still so cute.

Fingers in the mouth is a classic Tayter pose.

Taytum loves hands and always holds her own hands when not playing with ours.

I wish I had this one in color because I just think it's precious and would show off her blue eyes more. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I prefer color pics though I think the photographer did a fabulous job on all of these.
