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!

Here we are all bundled up for a cold night camping!

Camping

Tayla's first camping experience at Mt. Rainer. We had lot's of fun with all the cousins and took a beautiful hike. More pic's to come...

Vroom, Vroom

Tayla got her first car! What a lucky girl, but the next one's not until she's 16.

Darik's First Father's Day!

We had Tracy's mom and dad over for Father's Day dinner. Can you tell we are a baby house now with all the toys on the floor? Never thought we'd be one of those with toys everwhere but it happens!

4 months old!

Tayla on Father's Day looking so big! She even rolls over now but only back to front. She just had her 4 month check-up and she is 15 pounds (75%) and 26 in. (97%), tall little girl!

Tayla Swims!

Tayla's first time in the pool with cousin Mia (8months) and Auntie Beth.
