Where Does the Time Go?

It's been far too long since my last post, but it's definitely not due to a lack of activity! Teagan has grown so much in the last two months and she just keeps amazing me every day. She is really letting her personality shine and is always doing something new! Being able to see her do all the little things for the first time really brings me joy and I don't ever want to forget them, so here is what she's been up to lately:

She sat up really well right at 6 months and now she can go from her belly to sitting up and corrects her balance so she doesn't tip over

Crawling all over on her tummy! She's really fast :) I've seen her do it on her hands/knee's but she's so much faster on her tummy that she'll only go a few paces before she just drops and does the catarpillar crawl :) So cute!

She loves to sing along to the music with mommy on car rides. Lately Jack Johnson & Jason Mraz on her faves :)

She is really into pointing to everything and touching things with one finger to investigate

She has 2 teeth!! They came in at 7 months and she held up pretty well. I think she's getting the top 2 now and it seems like she is having a tougher time with them :(

She pulls herself up on furniture and stands! Now every morning when I go into her room, she is standing in her crib with a HUGE smile on her face. She is so proud of herself :)

She really enjoys when I read to her. Sometimes she closes the book when I'm done and points for me to start over again :)

She gives mommy & daddy hugs and kisses

When she gets excited she pumps both arms up & down and goes "ooh!" If she's being held, it's both arms & legs!

She's become very attached to her favorite blanky and won't go to sleep without it!

She thinks it's a really funny game when I chase after her so that she can't get to an outlet. I LOVE to hear her laugh :)

She love's going down the slide on mommy's lap at the park and going on the swings

She sits in the cart like a big girl at the market/target

She loves to dance with mommy and cracks herself up!

She says "da-da" and "na-na-na" (no??) and while she's eating food, she goes "num num num"

When she wakes up from a nap, she runs her paci back and forth along the crib bars like she's in a cell :)

Teagan & the Rice Cereal

Tonight Renny & I gave Teagan her first taste of real food... something that Teagan's been waiting for! She's been very interested in our food for a while now and even attempted to steal a piece of lettuce right out of my mouth a few weeks back! Well tonight, she finally got what she wanted :) The only problem was that she woke up from her nap really hungry and didn't quite understand what was going on at first. At the start of the video, she is crying her little eyes out because she watched me make her a bottle but instead of going to the couch to drink it, I put her in her chair to eat... needless to say, my hungry little monkey was not a happy girl! She just wanted her bottle at first, but after she realized that I was putting food in her mouth she changed her tune :) The video is a little long, but I really wanted to share :)

Teagan's 1st Vacation

This weekend we took Teagan on her first vacation to Palm Desert. I was really excited about taking her in the pool for the first time and anxious to see whether she would love it. Teagan did great in the car and slept most of the way. She was so curious when we went inside the house and was looking all round. I wasn't sure how she would sleep in her pack n' play for the first time, especially with new surroundings, but she slept thru the night and took naps just fine! Renny blew up the floaties while I slathered Teagan with sunscreen and put her bathing suit on. She absolutely loved the water! She wanted to splash around while either of us held her much more than she wanted to sit in the floatie. Here are some cute pic's!

Adorable!

I love her to pieces!!

Tea Party! April 15th 2009

Today I took Teagan down to one of the many "Tea Party" protests that were going on around the country. We walked down to the one going on in Seal Beach. It was pretty cool to see so many people speaking out on this issue and I hope it sends a message to our government! Teagan had a great time :) Here are the pic's!

Easter 2009

Teagan was such a joy this Easter. She was in a great mood all day! When she woke up, we read to her about the real reason for celebration on Easter Sunday, Jesus, from her children's bible. She loves when we read to her and I know each year she'll understand more and more about why it's such a special holiday. While T took her morning nap, Renny & I colored eggs together! Neither of us had done that in so long and we had lots of fun :) When T woke up it was time to go to Lexi's house for lunch with the family. Allison & Tyler surprised us all by driving down! It was great to see them and Teagan just loves Estella!! It's wild to think that next year she'll be running around with her cousin! My mom & Andi stopped by for a bit when we got home to visit with Teagan, then it was off to bed for her and time for mom & dad to relax! I had an awesome day with the family and can't wait to see what the rest of 2009 will bring for us :)

5 months!

She doesn't like it when I take her blanket away, but.. this is what she does with her blanket at naptime!

Another month has flown by... I can't believe how fast Teagan is growing! Here are a couple cute pic's of little T and here's the update from the doctor's apt: 14lbs, 15oz and 25 3/4 inches long

That put's her in the 60th for weight and just under the 75th for height... hopefully she'll get some of daddy's tall genes and not be a midget like mommy :) Oh yeah... she is finally rolling over!! She's done it almost every day this week!! Wahoo!
