Daycare...I mean Beauty School

Dear Sweet Ladies at Daycare,

I know you might enjoy playing beauty shop with my child's hair, but I would appreciate you never giving her that hairstyle again. I was embarrassed walking out of the daycare to my car and was hoping nobody would see us. Not so much luck...we got many laughs on the way out. Please refrain from making my daughter look like a member of whoville.

Susan

Taylor doesn't seem bothered by the one massive curl on top of her head!

Poppy, please notice that her tongue is still hanging out. How can I thank you for teaching her that trick?

Bubble Mania

Who knew bubbles were so much fun!

You might be wondering what she is wearing. I found this really cute outfit in her drawers that she never even wore. It was 9 months so I tried it on. It wouldn't even fit over her big ole belly.

She tries to eat everything so we were not surprised she tried to eat the bubbles

Hurry bubbles come down to me.

Amelia, this outfit is on its way to you. Hopefully it will fit you a little better.

MiMi Comes to Town and Birthday Party

Mimi came into town this week to visit us and help GinGin with her big renovation. We LOVED having her here and I think GinGin and PaPa are still recovering from the fast moving and decision- making extraordinaire of Pat Pankow. Hopefully MiMi will come back very soon!!


The three of us saying bye-bye to Mimi

You might be wondering if babies have muffin tops...the answer is YES:)

Going for a little stroll

Taylor's good friend Anna also turned one this week. So we went to her birthday party on Saturday. You might recall but Anna is the little girl Taylor beat up. I am proud to say that Taylor was on her best behavior and played very nicely with Anna. Thank goodness she didn't pull anyone's hair or steal toys this time around.

Taylor and the birthday girl. Notice they have matching shoes

Taylor loves walking and is getting better and better at it everyday

Brayden and Taylor. B doesn't sit still so this was as good of a picture as I could get of the two of them.

Taylor practicing being the birthday girl. Her big day is getting closer and closer

HELP I cant get OUTTTT....

This is what happens when you play in Aubrey's kennel.





Yes, she was crying and yes I was laughing. I couldn't help myself so I had to snap a few pictures of her with my phone. That explains the bad quality.

My Sweet Nephew William Pankow has Some News!!



Rich and Jenny are expecting their second baby September 23, 2010

I am so excited to meet Baby Pankow. Pray for Jenny, being pregnant is very brutal for her. Sickness, sickness go away!

Dear Baby Pankow,

Your big brother beat me up a few times when I was little. I would like to say that I don't have those characteristics, but I do. So WATCH out!!

Love you,

Taylor

ps. Just in case you wanted to see proof

A Beautiful Warm Weekend and a Special Visitors

We finally had a nice "warm" weekend. When I say warm I mean high 40's. It was warm enough to start melting away some of our snow....thank goodness. We took advantage and spent some time outside. John's dad "Poppy" and Charlotte "MimiC" came to see us on Saturday. Taylor had a grand ole time with Poppy and MimiC. Poppy was sweet enough to teach her a lovely new trick. You will see pictures below. Taylor is officially walking. She still crawls when she wants to get somewhere fast, but she loves walking.

Taylor, the 1970's called and they would like their bell bottoms back

The snow is melting.....we can finally see the tops of our landscaping lights.

Getting a ride from Poppy

Poppy and Taylor's new trick. Poppy would stick his tongue out to the side and she would copy him. She now proceeds to walk around with her tongue hanging out to the side.

Taylor loves her Poppy

Here is the video of Taylor walking. Sorry for the loud noises in the background



My favorite part is when Taylor realizes she drops her lovie and has to stop and pick it up. Who wants to walk without their lovie?!?!

My Little Helper!

Taylor felt it was time that I cleaned out her drawers and organized them better. She was so sweet to empty everything out of them for me. She does it so fast that I cant even come up with a distraction plan fast enough. The not so helpful part is she feels the need to clean out drawers every time we enter her room or my room. Guess this is my payback for showing her the tupperware drawer.
