Chicago {Taiya: 9 months old}

The end of April we made the 3 hour drive from Indiana to Chicago, which will be our home for the next few months. We are living in a northern suburb and loving it! More about our Chi Town adventures...

... 9 month pictures ...



Always on standing on her tip toes.

Loves playing with her tongue.


She hates crawling on hard surfaces.. so she walks on her hands and feet...

Miss Attitude



...What Taiya started doing at 9 months...

She loves clap for herself.

Little miss jumper.

Love those cute dimples.

Mommy and baby cuddles.

Cutest little tootsies.


Poor baby. So tired she fell asleep sitting up.

One of the best parts of being in Chicago is that my friend Jess is out here for the summer too. She is living about 30 minutes away (which is a long ways when you don't have a car) but we our doing our best to get together weekly. Our girls also love playing together- at least Taiya loves to follow Josie around and wants to do everything she does.









We went to lunch here. The strawberry oreo shake was to die for. I'm obsessed.

{Happy} Happy Birthday Trav!

Happy Birthday Travy!

...We celebrated with...





I sure love this boy. He is such an amazing husband and the best dad ever. He takes such good care of us.
And keeps us laughing.  Always. Taiya is so lucky. So am I.
Happy Birthday Trav!

More Indiana

April. Indiana. Continued...
Walking around furniture.

Perfect height to see out the window.


Loves to bang on the window and wave at people.

Read lots of stories.

{Stuck}. We had to scoot the couches together because Taiya kept trying to get the lamp cord. But it sure didn't stop her from trying...

Went on lots of nice long walks.

Such a happy girl.

This little girl has one volume... LOUD! Everything she says and does is full of volume and energy!

{April} 2010. Indiana.

Back tracking to April. We moved to Indiana for a month for Trav's work. Our adventures...

By our 2nd day there, Taiya was crawling like a pro.



Yeah. Uh. Trouble.

On my flight to Indy the airlines broke our stroller and so we bought this cheap one til we got a new one. Taiya loves this stroller. She sits up and can see everything, what a change from the infant seat.

Our apartment complex was right on a cute little lake. Out for a little sunday walk. It looks like trav is pushing a doll stroller, it might be a bit too short for him. Oops.



Feeding the ducks. I don't think they actually got any bread.


Feeling so big!

Toes and bread. She must have been pretty hungry!







Taiya loves...

...giving daddy...

...kisses!
