Houston! We have a.....

CLAPPER!!!

Taylen Jae learned a little trick of her own tonight and I just can't get enough of this little gal!! She's absolutely hilarious and by far, the CUTEST thing ever!!!

Hope the video isn't too dark...I took it while we watching the good old Cardinal game!!!

Way to Go, Tay-Tay!!!

We love you and seriously cannot believe how much JOY you bring to us each and every second!!!!

A Little Message for....

Maw-Maw Cindy since he wasn't able to tell her in person today....

Isn't that just adorable, or what!??!

All ready to open it up and put it together...

Following the picture directions...he got all those pieces together and was so proud of himself!!

The kiddos LOVED their Halloween goodie box and the flashlights are going to be PERFECT!!

Thanks for thinking about us!! We love and miss you TONS!!!

(PS...I tried getting Tylee to send you a message, but she was TOTALLY camera shy!! Which I found to be kinda odd for her!!)

Happy (Early) Halloween!!! We LOVE you!!

It's VEGGIE TIME!

Okay, by now, most of you know that my little peanut, Taylen Jae, has not been diggin' the whole "food" experience. She's the first one of my babies who doesn't quite know what to do with the whole process. Trey gobbled it up and grunted like an animal when I didn't scoop it in fast enough, and I'm not exaggerating when I say SCOOP. Ty wasn't quite as vocal as she learned to eat solids, but I definitely had to move quickly to keep up with her as well....so, this has been a totally "new" experience for me. I have a feeling this isn't going to be the only time Miss Tay-Tay moves along to her own beat ;)

I really don't get it because she LOVES watching me stir it up as I get it ready....totally grunts, moans, coos, and waves her arms all around like she just can't take the excitement any longer, but once the cereal hits her lips she just kinda stares at me with that, "What do I do now, Momma?" look.  Of course, I always move my mouth in a chewing and swallowing motion trying to help her along and all she does is break out in a HUGE grin...EVERY time!! And, shortly after the cereal falls onto her bib. It's actually quite comical.

At her 6month check-up the pediatrician said not to worry about the cereal thing and just start trying veggies...so, this evening, while the other two were sound asleep, I decided to try a little sweat pea action....

I took a little video so you all could see for yourself. It went just about as I expected...although I know I actually saw some tongue action and I think she may have even swallowed a few bites this time. Which means that total chowing down is right around the corner....

(Sorry about the video being sideways...I thought I'd figured that out before, but apparently I'm at a loss. Changing the orientation is usually just a matter of one click...but, that button has somehow eluded me tonight..don't get a neck cramp!)

I also got a short little segment of her sitting up...like a big girl. She still needs a little support, but she's sooooo stinkin' close! As you can tell, she's not real excited about being on camera...actually quite somber for her. But...you do get a glimpse of what it is she's always looking around searching for......

And, finally a little of Tay-Tay's 6 month babblin' for ya.....she wasn't really in the mod tonight, but I think there's a little "DaDa" in there for ya.. There are a few times that she's on the verge of bustin' out a hoot or holler, but decides against it...what a cutie!!

I'll be sure to keep you posted on the food thing....I know it's just a matter of time ;) You can do it, Taylen...we're all rooting for ya!!

Night y'all.....Happy Tuesday and here's to a fantastic second half of the week!!!

Sweet Sounds....

of Little Miss Taylen's ADORABLE baby talk have been filling the air around The Weite House lately!

I captured this little video of her the other day and totally thought you'd love to see it, especially those of you who haven't gotten a chance to meet her yet......she's the best story-teller!!

Who would have thought you'd be able to hear her talk, sneeze, and toot in such a short little video clip?!?! She's obviously very talented and is definitely getting big on us....she'll be 12 weeks on Sunday....ALREADY!!!
