Birthday Bash!

We had a great party for Taylor's 1st Birthday! We have such great friends and family and were so blessed to have so many of them here to celebrate Taylor's first year of life. Thank you everyone!!!!! I got a little carried away with the decorations and our house was completely flooded in pink but it all turned out great and I wouldn't change a thing! Taylor was a trooper and was great the entire day. She loved her pink cake and didn't hesitate for a second to dive in. She was a messy girl! Enjoy the pictures!

A Birthday On The Horizon

Birthday preparations are fully under way. Our house is officially flooded in pink (more so than normal). SO excited for the party but can't believe my baby is almost ONE!

Aquarium

We spent the day at the Denver Aquarium on Friday.

Walking at the aquarium

Watching the ducks...

She wasn't too thrilled about sitting by the monkey. But liked watching it rock it's baby when mommy was holding her. She was holding on pretty tight though.

More walking...

New Tricks

It seems like T is learning something new everyday. This chick has no fear! She just jumps in without any hesitation. We may be in trouble! =)

She's starting to talk a little more. She "kinda" says mama, dada, hi, hot, bird & book (which sound the same). She's such a sweet girl and loves to snuggle and rock her babies and stuffed animals. She holds them and pats them and gives them kisses. Then she likes to shove them in her bucket! =)
She's definitely considered a toddler now! She's all over the place. She also figured out how to climb the stairs a couple of weeks ago. She didn't really show much interest in them until one day she just took off with no hesitation. It was like she knew how to do it all along. The video below was the day after she figured it out. Nothing slow about her!
She has a new found interest of opening and closing all doors, cupboards, and anything else she can get her hands on.
A few weeks ago she figured out how to climb up her slide and she likes to go down head first.
She's becoming more and more independent and likes to feed herself now as you can see in the pic below. What a kid! What did we do before we had her??? She definitely keeps us on our toes. Love it!
