November 2009

We are slowly catching up, two posts in three weeks! By the time baby girl is here, we will be caught up to February. ;)

I'll make this post short and sweet.

Here are some fun miscellaneous pictures of our hammy Miss Tay.

Loving her Minnesota Vikings jumpsuit:

Our sweet baby with all of her favorite animals and babies. Their names? "Big Baby", "Purple Rabbit" (which is actually a kangaroo), "Hippo", and "Little Baby". She's not big on giving her animals and babies names yet.

She loves being surrounded with her stuffed animals!

Cutie patootie. Love those pig-tails!

Raking Leaves - November 7, 2009

It wouldn't be Fall without a good leaf-raking session. This was Taylor's first time really being able to jump around in some leaf piles. I think overall she enjoyed it, but she wasn't keen on having the leaves on her when she would get dumped in the pile. Silly runt.

Loving the leaves being tossed around.

Christmas Lights - November 22, 2009

Taylor had a fun time helping daddy with sorting the Christmas lights this year!

Our little Christmas tree. :)

Trip to Ohio - November 26-28, 2009

The day after Thanksgiving, Taylor, Joni and Grandma & Grandpa traveled out to Akron/Barberton, Ohio to visit with Grandpa's family. Growing up, we never made it out there on holidays, but we found out about a surprise 69th birthday party for my aunt Judie and thought it would be fun to go out, see some family and introduce Taylor.

It was a great trip and so fun to catch up with family that we don't get to see too often. I realize I only have pictures of Taylor for the most part since she was a little too shy to pose with anyone.

Excited for the plane ride. Sitting with grandpa on the shuttle to the airport.

While mommy had to do some studying in the hotel room, Taylor got to spend some pool time with grandma and grandpa at the hotel.

I was impressed that she even got in, she hasn't shown much interest in swimming yet.

Drying off with Grandpa.

One of the big family outings was a trip to the bowling alley. It was cute to see the kids play with the big "kids". Taylor hanging out with some of Joni's cousin's daughters.

Taylor learning the rules from Joni's cousin Stefanie.

Such a great trip visiting with my dad's side of the family. So wonderful to see everyone!
