Birthday fun at the ZOO!

Doesn't every girl want to spend her 24th birthday at the Zoo? Haha Nik and I decided to do something fun for her bday. Yes, it is sad but we decided to take Karoline to the zoo.
We went on the carousel..we were the only 3 on there and the guy running the thing kept making it go faster. So fast it was distorting the music. Keep in mind i was holding an 8 month old and hanging on for dear life.
We had a great time and i think nik ended up having a fun and unusual 24th for sure. :)

24 causes some serious smoke...

Happy Birthday Nik! Can't believe you are 24!
We love you!

won't my daddy be so proud of me...

Go Cardinals!
Karoline loves her daddy's baseball cap.
I need to post a clip of her throwing the baseball. It is really impressive.
She kinda puts me to shame. :)

8 month pics

It is getting so much harder to take these monthly pics. She is such a wiggle worm.

sorry so long!

Okay I'm so sorry it has been so long since I posted. Karoline is crawling and pulling up on everything these days so I can't just sit her next to me while I work on the computer... well it just doesn't quite work the same. She is at such a fun stage. She is keeping us on our toes and we are loving every minute of it. Here are some pics from the past month.

she gets so excited about standing up. Notice the new "excited" face she has started making all the time. :) so funny!

falling asleep in her swing.

yeah we are going swimming!

we spend a lot of time at the neighborhood pool. She loves it! our little pool rat!

chasing a fly. YES! I think she learned this from Gracie.

cute moments from the past few weeks

This one is my favorite.  I left the room for a few minutes and when I came back I found her sideways in her swing.  She was watching tv and looked up at me like "hey mom" and continued watching tv.  I just could stop laughing.  

7 month pics

Parent Commitment

Sunday night was the Parent Commitment Service at church. It was a really neat time. Here is the picture of Karoline that was in the program. I love it because it really shows her personality.

Happy Half Birthday Karoline!

another exciting photo shoot! :) wrestling the bear!

We can't believe Karoline is 6 months old. Everyone always says "TIME FLIES". I never knew how true those words were until we had a kid. These have been the fastest, most incredible months of our lives. God has truly blessed us with amazing child and a wonderful experience this far. We love you Karoline Taylor and thank God for you daily!!!!

trip to NYC!
