Taylor is crawling

We have a crawler. Taylor started crawling this weekend...I would say she is all over the place but she was all over the place before just with rolling. This is not the best video to show her new skills but it gives you an idea. ;)

Fun Friday

We had a great time this past Friday. We had a playdate/picnic and it was a lot of fun. All the girls fell asleep as soon as got home for a long nap. (These times are few and far between for me). ;) In the first picture you can see Payton and Taylor in the stroller in the background. We then went out to eat for dinner and Taylor and Payton were big girls and sat in high chairs for the first time. I am very excited about this because it will make eating out so much easier. Two carriers really take up a lot of room in all restaurants!

First real food

Payton and Taylor got their first try of real food. I don't think they were too sure of it as they both kind of got a little choked at first. They had bananas and had a very hard time picking it up. I am pleased to say that by the end of this past week they were eating much better. You can tell they think it is fun but as soon as the food hits their tongues they seem very unsure of the textures...their faces are always priceless.

Reid turns 1

We got to visit with Danny's side of the family this weekend because our nephew turned the big number one. We had a wonderful time with family and friends and the party was fantastic. Here are some photos of the weekend.

Addie got some new red boots to wear to her brother's birthday...but Madison just had to give them a try. I think she loved them.

St. Paddy's dog parade

We went to the dog St. Paddy's Day parade on Saturday. There were some really neat dogs - some breads you don't get to see that often. Madison really enjoyed all the dogs. She did not like the man dressed up as Spiderman an I think Payton and Taylor could have cared less about it all. ;)

Renaissance fun

We went to Renaissance (for those not familiar with the area it is an outdoor mall - not an outlet mall) on Friday afternoon. They have started the fountain up again which Madison loves. Madison had such fun running around and getting wet. Payton and Taylor even got to stick their feet in too. I will note that although they have cut the fountain on...the water is freezing.

Trip to the zoo

This past Thursday I decided to take the girls to the zoo. Madison had a great time looking at all of the animals but I think they all enjoyed the picnic the most. Apparently we were the most interesting exhibit at the zoo. During our picnic we had quite a few kids come and stand around our blanket and stare at us. Soon following a few parents walked up and joined them. It was very strange but we didn't let that stop our fun. We are really enjoying these warmer days.
