Bath

Taylor is happy about this home improvement. She LOVES bath time!

Shoe Shopping

and no stopping! Taylor is on the go! Adam and I took my dad out to lunch for his birthday and then we decided to buy some new shoes for Taylor. First we checked out Stride Rite where the shoes that your kid will outgrow in 2 months cost more than 1 pair of my shoes. Then we checked out Payless and tried to find the most comfortable shoe. As I held one of the tennis shoes, I commented on how the sole might be so heavy that it would be awkward for her to lift her feet while walking. My dad replied, "What you really need is to buy some lead weights to put in her shoes to slow her down!" She was running into every store in the mall to hear whatever song they were playing and then she would stand their dancing, only pausing to say hello to every person walking by.

BIG hugs for Jesse

Taylor's "boyfriend"

Anytime the front door swings open or any time the car door swings open, Taylor is bolting next door to go play with her good buddy Jesse. She walks up his front path just as fast as her little legs can stride and she knocks on the door. Whenever nobody answers or if he is sleeping, she is very disappointed. When he is home, he runs outside to play with Taylor. She yells "Jetsee, Jetsee!" when she sees him. It's impossible to just get in our car without Taylor trying to make her way next door.

Taylor doesn't Love her daddy...

7/2/10 Our Little "Mowgli"

She just turned 6 months old and has been doing all kinds of fantastic yoga moves lately

As easy as One, Two!

Many of us are familiar with the classic nursery rhyme One, Two, Buckle my Shoe. I recited it for Taylor recently and she thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. Later I listened in on Adam's version and I thought to myself "I better remember this because it is worth writing down!".

Adam's version:
One, two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, buy some more
Five, Six, burn some sticks
Seven, eight, stay up late
Nine, ten, skin a hen
Eleven, Twelve, Play with an elf
Thirteen, fourteen, eat some shortening
Fifteen, sixteen, fry some chicken
Seventeen, eighteen monkeys mating
Nineteen, twenty, Your'e my honey!

Classic version:
One two buckle my shoe
Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, lay them straight
Nine, ten, a big fat hen
Eleven, twelve, dig and delve
Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting
Fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen
Seventeen, eighteen, maids in waiting
Nineteen, twenty, my plates empty

Taylor likes both versions but mommy LOVES daddy's version best!
