Easter

We had a great Easter this year...very non-traditional...but fun! We were in the process of painting our new house so my parents came down for Taylor's first Easter and to help us paint (Thanks guys). T was SO excited about her Easter basket (although I think she liked the grass more than the presents.) Sadie even got in on the fun. We hid some eggs for her and put treats in them. She found them all within seconds and had them broke open. Smart dog! We spent the day at the new house painting and had a gourmet meal of Chinese take-out. Nice! We did take a few minutes to put Taylor in her Easter dress so we could take some pictures before we went to paint.

Snow Day

Well, winter finally made its way to Colorado. We got hit with our first big snowstorm of the year on Thursday. We got about 14 inches. Taylor got to play in the snow for the first time over the weekend and she had a blast. She thought the snow was pretty funny.

6 Months Old!!!

So our baby is 6 months old. Crazy how time flies! She had her 6 month shots and got a flu shot on Friday and did pretty good. She didn't sleep well that night but other than that no reactions. She is now 14lbs 9oz (she jumped up to the 25th percentile) and 25-1/2 inches long (50th percentile). Such a sweet girl!!!

Out for a walk today!

Talkin' and bubbles...

Someone likes carrots...

Or maybe not...

Okay...so Taylor tried carrots for the first time on Friday and absolutely LOVED them. She couldn't get enough of them. She even screamed because I wasn't getting it to her mouth fast enough. Well tonight was a different story. She liked the first few bites and then she thought it would be funny if she blew bubbles while she was eating so we both were COMPLETELY covered in carrots and then all of a sudden she started making this awful face (as seen in the video above). Funny kid. We were laughing so hard! We'll have to see how sweet potatoes go over.

Zoo

Taylor and I spent the afternoon at the Denver Zoo with Jenni, Jacob and Xander yesterday. It was a beautiful day (almost 70 degrees) which gave me spring fever really bad. Can't wait to be outside doing stuff like this every day. Of course I forgot my camera so these pics are all taken from my cell phone. Sorry for the terrible quality.

Swingin'

We went out for a walk today to enjoy the nice weather and stopped at one of the playgrounds in the neighborhood to let Taylor swing for the first time. She had a blast!

We also have some SAD news...we gave away our dog Sara last night. She had nipped at Taylor a couple of times and we just couldn't risk it. We found her a great home and are really happy about our decision. The family already has 2 beagles and they spend a lot of time with them. They are great people and we think Sara is going to be really happy there. They already sent us pictures this morning of Sara playing in the yard, laying in the sun and sleeping on the couch (some of her favorite things!). She got to sleep in their son's bed last night and already follows him everywhere he goes. We're sure going to miss her but I think it was definitely the best decision.
