3 Months and 19 Months

These precious children get more fun and sweet each day! Blake is holding his head up, rolling over, smiling all the time, making the funniest cooing sounds, sprouted two tiny teeth on the bottom, eating and sleeping ok, weighing in at 13 lbs, loves to watch is sister,daddy and mommy, and is his momma's heart! Taybug is getting more helpful and kind by the minute. She loves to put things where they belong, talk to her baby brother, watch Winnie the Pooh, eat cheese and pretty much anything else, swim in the pool, do anything outside, go for walks, read books, do puzzles, throw her momma's phone on the floor to watch all the pieces fall out of it, look at pictures, take baths, feed Flash, play dress-up, listen to music, try on all of her shoes, and get loving from her mom and dad!

 You can't see them in this picture, but they are there!

Tay like to wear my unmentionables in the most creative ways!

 This is "scary baby". My mom's sweet friend Fran gave this to my mom as a joke after watching Toy Story 3 together. For some reason Taylor loves this baby and prefers her as God intended, without clothes. I love this picture because I want to always remember this time.

Daddy and Tay grilling out

YAY!!!

We have been practicing pooping on the potty and Tay has been successful a handful of times. Every time she has a "victory" we make a big deal with lots of "yays", clapping, high-fives, calling daddy, the whole nine yards. Well, today, Pete was going to the bathroom when Tay bursts in yelling "YAY" and clapping her hands. She said "yay for a good five minutes after he was finished, she was sooooooo proud of her daddy!!!!!! :)

Charleston SC

After Amelia Island, we headed up the coast to SC to visit Colt and Beth. They were gracious hosts and it was so nice to get to spend some time with them. We explored the entire area of Charleston, walked the Battery, ate really good food (both out and at Colt and Beth's), played Frisbee golf, went to playgrounds, played in the water fountain in downtown, went to the beach and hung out together. One of Tay's favorite parts was helping Uncle Colt walk Penny each day.

 This is the "Angle Oak" on John's Island, and it is absolutely amazing, we visited it twice while we were there.

Amelia Island

After leaving New Smyrna, we drove to Amelia Island for the weekend. As always, we had a great time being with our wonderful friends, eating good food, going to the beach, and watching the kids play.
