Hey Everyone here is a month by month slideshow of Taylor, I hope everyone enjoys. I can't believe she is already a year old, time flys. I love my sweet girl so much and I can't imagine life without her. What a blessing she is. I love you Baby Taylor.
Today we had another busy busy day. This morning Taylor and I got up, ate breakfast, and met with her play group. The second picture was taken after playing everyone, and by playing I mean bumping her head. No her head isn't misshapen that's just a huge goose egg on the side of her head. We had a wonderful time Taylor just playes too rough. After play group we came home took a nap and met at Monkey Joes to play with our friends from the Base. We had lots of fun but Taylor is officially pooped. I think she will be going to bed early tonight, that's a good thing for me because I have to mow the grass tonight when she goes to sleep.
Update on Paul:
Today I received an e-mail from him telling me that he wouldn't be able to call or e-mail me. This is the first time we have been apart without communication. So I challenge everyone to continue with the prayers. He did tell me that he could check his e-mail but just couldn't have any communication going out. I am hoping he will be able to check the blog, this is the easiest way to keep him up on Taylor. I don't know how long he will be gone and I really don't know how I will find out when he is coming home. So just keep us in your prayers. Until then enjoy the many post between now and then.
For those of you who dont know this weekend I went to Columbus to get ready for Baby Taylor's birthday party. Paul had an exercise at work and was going to meet us Sunday in time for her party. Well Saturday afternoon I was having lunch with Paul's mom and sister (who were in town) when he called to tell me he was deploying in the morning. I said my goodbyes, packed my bags, and hit the road. Taylor and I made it back to Georgia that night around 10:00pm to see Paul before he had to leave. We did have to cancel Taylor's birthday party because I felt it was more important for me to be with Paul. But that night we did have a little party for Taylor, just the three of us. Even through things didn't go as planned we had a great evening and a special birthday for Baby Taylor. I will us my blog to keep everyone up to date on Paul as he is deployed. He wasn't able to tell me anything about it, honestly he didn't even know anything about it until he went in that morning. I know people wonder how Paul and I do it but God gives us both such a great peace about these hard time and blesses us so much in the good times. We really do love our life and I know it's because of Christ. We are truly truly blessed to love eachother so much and to have such a wonderful family. Anyway, before I get upset I wanted to share some pictures of Taylor I took today in her wagon that her Aunt Becca and Uncle Jeremy painted for her for her birthday. Thanks Aunt B, I love you and miss you so much!!! Hope everyone enjoys.
It has been so nice to be home, finally. The house has been difficult trying to get back in order but I just haven't worried about it because I'm just happy to be home. I think Taylor and I have been swimming every single day just because we can. Taylor sure is a little fish, she just doesn't get tired of the pool, even after 1 1/2 hours. I have to take a picture in her full swim get-up, she looks so cute. Anyway, Paul and I got each other new camera last night for our anniversary. I am still learning how to use it but here are a few pictures to share with that shiny new camera.
Here is a picture of Taylor in her big girl carseat

Wishing she was outside with Daddy and Molly (our dog) in the backyard.
This week Taylor and I have been in Columbus while Paul is doing some work in Puerto Rico. We have had so much fun on our visit. I wish everyone could see Taylor and her cousin Drew play together, they are hilarious. It's so funny how different two babies could actually be. Taylor is the sweet girly little girl and Drew is all boy into everything, always in trouble (but still a sweetie too) But they are just so funny to watch together. Someday when I have the time I am going to post a video of the two in action then everyone would understand. Tonight they were both playing so hard with one another that they were falling all over everything in sight (delirious you might say) Anyway, the reason for the post is I wanted to update everyone on us. Taylor is walking and so into everything she can get those little hands on. I feel like I have rushed walking and now that it's here I realize that I am going to be chasing her for the next 18 years. Her new nickname is Frankenstein because that's what she looks like running around. We are having the best time and I am so glad that I get to be home for a bit so that her Grammie and Pop are able to see her too. I'm sorry I don't have any new pics yet because my parents computer isn't compatible with my Apple stuff. Hopefully I will have some new ones soon to share. Until then we will be planning her 1st birthday bash since it's right around the corner.
Here is my sweet Taylor playing a fun game of Peek-a-boo. I can't get enough of her.
I just can't believe how quickly they grow up. I have always been told "they grow up too fast, you better enjoy it" and they really really do. It seams like yesterday we just brought her home from the hospital and now she is taking steps and jabbering constantly. So for all of you new parents, I know you hear it all of the time.... Please enjoy it because they REALLY do grow up so fast. Anyway, here are some pictures of Taylor on her 11 month birthday. I hope you enjoy!!
After a terrible time of delayed flights and lost luggage (including Taylor's car seat) we finally made it. Paul and I were both due a much needed vacation. Last Friday we left for Buena Vista, Colorado, and Spring Canyon, a lodge run by OCF (Officer's Christian Fellowship). They were having a marriage seminar all week long. So not only did we get to relax and have fun, but we also got to work on our marriage. Paul and I have fortunately visited some awesome places since we have been married. Enjoy these pictures!
