March 16, 2010 - Taylor figured out how to crawl today. She crawled for the first time a few weeks ago but didn't realize what she had done and she hasn't done it since.
But today she saw a tennis ball on the floor and she wanted it. Instead of screaming because it was out of her reach or rolling to it she crawled...very slowly...she crawled. We put it in front of her a few more times and she crawled to it every time. We were so proud! You should have seen me, it was all I could do not to scream to the world..."My Baby Just Crawled!!!" Check out the video on dropshots.
She's 9 months old.
The funny thing is that she is doing a great job walking. She still needs our help but she has taken 4 steps without us. She can stand on her own for long periods of time and even turn her head and focus on many things without falling. She is down to just using one mommy finger to walk and still falls occasionally but she is doing so great and we are so proud of her!
We are so, so very blessed!!!

9 Months Old
I cannot believe that in 3 very short months our little girl is going to be a year old. The first 6 months flew by, which I am more than grateful for. But now we are all having fun and time can start to slow down now.
Taylor goes for her 9 month checkup on the 19th, but by our scales she weighs 22 pounds. She's very tall, has 8 teeth. The 8th one broke through on 2-28-10. She is walking all over the house holding on to our fingers. She is trying so hard to pull herself up but she's not quiet there yet.
She also crawled for the first time today. She was sitting on the floor playing by herself and saw my slippers sitting by me just needing to be chewed on, so she took off. She crawled 4 little baby crawls and fell onto her tummy. Then she screamed because she wasn't close enough to the yummy slippers!!! I almost screamed out loud. The next hour was spent on the floor with me torturing her by putting things just outside of her reach and begging her to crawl to them. Poor Baby!!! But, our baby crawled on her 9th month birthday. Hooray!
Everything is going so absolutely wonderful for our family now. We are so truly blessed and so truly thankful for our blessings.
Well, I have started gathering ideas for her birthday party. Everyone is invited!!! It's on June 5th, the first Saturday in June, here at the house. (Even though her birth date is the 2nd, that falls on a Wednesday this year, bummer.)
I hope everyone is enjoying our blog and dropshots. I hate that we can't be closer to all of our family and friends, but I maybe this makes you feel a little closer to us. We certainly miss you all.
