Park!

Kaleb and I took Taylor and Nevaeh to the park last week, and they both had a blast. Nevaeh loved, loved, loved the big girl swings, but was intimidated by the big slide. She didn't want to go on it. Later that week, we went to Storytime at the Library and went back to that same park afterwards. Nevaeh finally mustered up the courage to climb up the huge structure and go down the slide. Then she was all about the slide, climbing up and sliding down, over and over.

Way up high!

So smiley.

Sleepy Taylor just napped...she's too little to really enjoy the playground, but she did enjoy the warm sunshine.

I love swings!

Backyard Fun

We have had really nice weather recently, so one day I set up a tent shaped like bus (From Grandma Alice and Grandpa Daniel) outside on the patio. Nevaeh had a blast playing in it because Moka came into it too.

Nevaeh also played hide-and-seek with Moka, hiding in the tall weeds in our backyard. She got nice and sweaty and dirty out there, but had tons of fun!

SUCCESS!!!!

At dinner last night Nevaeh was just sitting in her highchair as usual. She was just starting to act like she was done eating when she looks at me and said, "I go potty." So I asked her if she needed to go, to which she said, "Yeah!" I took her into the restroom with a book and let her read it for a bit before going back in there and reading it to her (she kinda likes some privacy...). During that time my big girl went pee-pee and pooh-pooh on the Big Girl Potty!!! Of course she immediately asked for her M&M's, because that's what we use to reward her. Needless to say, we are thrilled! Still can't believe that our little girl is already old enough to go on the potty, but grateful to (hopefully soon) only have to buy diapers in one size!

House Update:
Kaleb set up a gazebo and patio furniture my grandparents gave us. It looks so nice on our patio. We need to go get Nevaeh some outside toys, though. With this gorgeous weather we've been having, all she wants to do is play outside! I'm thinking gardening tools and a T-Ball set... We still haven't re-done the front or back yard, but we hope to do that in the Spring. It'll be so nice to have grass out there. A couple days ago we were outside and Nevaeh was hiding from Moka, in the weeds. From the back door all you could see was her chest and head. Kaleb would have freaked out because she got all dirty, but I loved seeing her playing so hard! Taylor is really good on her tummy and in her Exersaucer. This morning she even started to bounce herself while she was on her tummy, and moved a bit to the side, trying to turn. Can you believe it?!?!

Baby Tay and Nevaeh

Most of these are pics of Taylor I took one morning before church. There are a couple adorable ones of Nevaeh and Taylor, that show just how much those sissies love each other!

Sitting on her own

Big smiles, as usual

We thought this was funny. Think maybe she's teething?

Funny face

Just a few more cute pics of the girls playing together...

Sisters!

Cute photos of my little girls. Just a day in my life....aren't you jealous? They're so precious!

Taylor Eats Solid Food!

Taylor ate her first solid food (rice cereal) a little after she turned 5 months old. She's still breastfeeding primarily, but Mommy wanted to get her on real food in hopes it would keep her full all night (it doesn't!) so that she would sleep all night (she doesn't!). Here are some cute shots we got. Her little bib says "I'm the Little Sister" and now Nevaeh says, "Baby Tay eat boob" and "Baby Tay eat rice cereal." Oh, the things that come out of a toddler's mouth.

What are you guys gonna do to me?

Nevaeh wanted to feed her.

Yum!

Can you please get that camera out of my face? I'm eating here.
