Kid in the...?!

During the holiday season, we discovered that Taylor has fun playing in some unusual places:

The Kitchen sink
A Large Cooler



"Kid in the Sink" and "Kid in the Cooler" instantly became some of Taylor's favorite games (and ours, when we watch him play!), but now they're tied for first place with another great activity that we discovered since moving to Denver:

Kid in the Dryer!

Suprise Visitors

Last week, my sister in-law Jill suprised me with a phone call to tell me that she and little Kate would be in Denver for a few hours! The two of them came over and we visited until she had to leave town. It was so nice to spend time one-on-one with them; that's a rare treat for me!

Big Boy

Something happened so quickly...my tiny baby grew up! He's so big now! And, he's still little too. Our little Taylor is eight months old today. It's a delight to watch him grow up and Andrew and I are loving every minute of it. Here are some pictures and a short video that we've taken of him this week:

A "Get-to-Know-You" tag that Andrew wore to a BYU-I intern gathering this past weekend. Taylor didn't really know how to react to having it on his head.

Taylor had a memorably messy diaper yesterday night. He had been playing with toys in his bedroom when I heard him suddenly get upset. When I checked on him, I found this-- a visible protrusion from his little diaper! When I changed him, his diaper was perfectly clean, except for the golf ball sized gift that he left for me, right in the center.

Taylor still holds his little hands when he sleeps. So cute.

Our eight month-old little guy.
