Cousins at the Zoo

We took a family trip to the Oakland Zoo over the weekend with the Taylor boys. Here they are with Britten in front of the Flamingos. They also road the carousel and the motorcycles. They had a great lunch in front of the giraffes and also saw some neat bats and frogs. The boys had a great time together. Hopefully they'll be able to move closer so we can spend more time together.

You may not believe it but Hailey has a wild side. She is down right crazy sometimes. Her whole personality just cries "WILD". Here she is with an after-dinner hairdo and remnants of something all over her face and tray. She's nearly 11 months and just so fun. She continues to defy the whole napping concept but at least she has given us our nights back. She has her two bottom teeth, and on top has cut one front tooth and one eye tooth. The other front tooth and eye tooth are cutting right now. Poor kid!! Santa Barbara or bust in April.

Cool in California

Britten is one cool cat. He loves music and hangs out with his gui-tar and harmonica all the time. Here he's singing some David Lee Roth lyrics.... Britten is a great kid. He's still not interested in potty training but loves Bob the Builder, UnderDog and his latest rage is Mother Goose. Britten's looking forward to his Dad's birthday later this month so that he can sing the birthday song with his guitar.

Here's Hailey at 9 1/2 months. As of today, she has 3 teeth cut through and can stand up without holding on to anything. She hasn't taken her first unassisted step yet but will "walk" around with us holding her hands. She's finally sleeping through the night. She won't nap very good though. She can say mama, dada and bye-bye. She tries to say Jackson. She's got a great smile and is definitely going to be a "go-getter" when she's bigger. She's looking forward to her April b-day party in SB.
