5 months old!

Actually more like 5 1/2! This is Tayla enjoying some sunny weather at cousin Zachary's 3rd birthday party. As you can tell she is starting to sit by herself very well, she rolls front to back and back to front and can feed herself Mum-mum crackers!

Cousins

Tayla and Karik are only two weeks apart! Still a little too young to really enjoy each other yet but its fun to see them smile at each other. Here they are sitting with Grandma DenHerder (a.k.a. Grandma Lynn) and cousin Addison (5, Karik's older sister) looks on waiting to return to reading.

Pack Mule

Finally at the top! We went on a gorgeous hike while camping at Mt. Ranier, unfortunately it was pretty socked in with fog but the flowers were amazing. This was Tayla's first time in the hiking back-pack and both she and Darik did very well.

Happy Hiker

Although she slept through most of the hike she really enjoyed herself while she was awake!
