Easter 2011

Painting easter eggs with their cousins Tyson and Becker

Gigi helping Mads

On the way home from Gigi's house, ALL tuckered out. But are SOOOO excited for the Easter bunny to come.

They woke up at about 5:45 Easter morning to go look for their baskets. Ty's was in the office under the desk, Mads was behind the toy box and Tayter's was in the shower. We got up with them about 6.

Ty layed out all her stuff!

Out back to find easter eggs.

They did so good and were so cute about sharing. Ty would get one egg then make sure Madix would get the next one.

Then Tayters finally got up to join the excitement.

They all 3 love Tayte's little toy that you hit the ball through the holes and watch them zig zag down.

All ready for church looking so dang adorable!

Love this picture, minus the water bottle that she wouldn't let go of.

Almost impossible to get all 3 together for a good picture.

With Grandpa.

I LOOOOVE these ones of the 3 of them on this swing chair. I kept making them laugh while Dave was snapping away. So fun!!

Another easter egg hunt at Gigi's

With Melanie's boys, Tyson, Dallin, Becker and Skrewzie. Madix was not happy for some reason.

Mike and Amanda joined us for a yummy easter dinner then they all had a game of kickball outback (my camera died so this is the only pic I got). Tayte won't go to many people but she really likes Mike.

They are at such a fun age, I love sharing in their excitement of things!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Tayters at 11 months

Tayte is 11 months old! This is what she's been up to the last month.
She LOVES bathtime! (as long as someone's in there playing with her).

Ty loves to give her crazy hair at bathtime.

She LOVES her bee blankie. We usually leave it in her crib and everytime I go to lay her down for a nap, she gets her bee blankie and is SO happy about it. Every now and then she gets it out of her crib and thinks it's the coolest thing to carry around her blankie.

Cuddling with her blankie SO happy about it.

Her biggest problem in life right now is being by herself. There's nothing she hates more than being by herself. She has major seperation anxiety. She's the happiest, cutest little baby when she gets the attention she wants, but she gets MAD when she doesn't get it. AND she doesn't ALWAYS get it.

Here I'm on the computer and she's starting to get sad cause I'm not picking her up.

She's standing at my leg getting more mad.

Oh, look at that sad face.

Now she's had it.

Then once I start giving her attention she flips her attitude so fast and is a happy baby.

The other thing she's really figured out is pointing. She points a lot at things.

I was trying to get a picture of all her teeth. She has 8 teeth!

She LOVES being rocked and night time. This is the one time she gets rocked to sleep, mostly by Dave. This is their time. Sometimes if he comes home after she's already asleep in bed he'll get her up any ways just to rock her. This is usually the only time she will really cuddle with us.

Her other obsession this month has been opening and closing doors. It keeps her entertained for awhile.

But then she gets mad when the door closes all the way and she can't open it.

She's a pro at climbing up the stairs the tricky part is teaching her how to go down. But just the last couple days she's been practing going up and down the last couple steps all on her own. Smart girl.

AND the BIGGEST thing she's learned this last month is to walk!!!! She's not 100% walking but she's getting pretty dang good and can walk across the room.

SO cute- her little wobbly walk!

She can even pick things up in the middle of the floor and stand up and continue to walk. Impressive!

She LOVES it and gets SO proud of herself! She often claps for herself also:)

A couple other things about this last month. She got to stay with Gigi and Grandpa for 10 days while we went to Ireland and really got used to them. She even got used to Uncle Benson.

She's a BIG mamma's girl, so if I'm around she doesn't want to go to anyone else (besides Dave).

She's not a big fan of baby food anymore, much rather have table food. And she can eat almost anything now. Her favorites right now are oranges cut up and strawberries, and baby/puff chips.

She loves to talk. We can carry on a whole conversation with her in her own little language. Her real words consists of "uh oh, mama, and no no no no".

Like I said she has 8 teeth and this is really interesting- she has one brown eye and one blue eye. We'll see if it changes.

WOW, I can't believe one more month and she'll be 1!! Happy 11 months baby!
