Sexy Boy

While out shopping today we saw this awesome Ford Mustang. Make sure to read what it says above the windshield (You might have to click on the picture to see it better). We just couldn't help ourselves, we had to get a picture. Dave wants everyone to know that HE is a Sexy Boy!

Let it Snow!

Today it snowed about 8 inches at our home. Dave attempted to drive to work at Deer Valley. He had been driving about 2 hours and had not made it to 1-80 yet so he decided to turn around and come home. It was just too risky to keep going. Plus Parleys was open to only chains for a little while.

With all the snow this year our snow piles are getting a little big. When we shoveled today it got difficult to throw the snow over the piles. We decided to take a picture of Taylor in front of the snow to show how big it is. If it doesn't look that big to you, well, it is over my head and that is huge - at least 5 feet.

Splish Splash I Was Takin' A Bath

Taylor loves bath time. Anytime he hears the water turn on he crawls to the bathroom and tries to climb in. One of his favorite things to do is drink the water, splash Mom or Dad, and eat the basketballs and duckies.

I hope these pictures won't embarrass him. I kept them decent.

Sledding

We took Taylor out on his first long sled ride around the neighborhood. The snow was a few inches deep and got pretty bumpy at times. Taylor loved to reach out and touch the snow and he also liked to try and exit the sled by rolling out. Crazy boy!

Taylor's Story

I finally got a shot of Taylor's teeth. He is up to four teeth, two on top and two on bottom. Two more are starting to peek through on the top.

The doctor said Taylor was too skinny but I just think he is going to be like his dad-skinny! I also don't think he looks that skinny and I see how much he eats everyday - he is a pig!

This is Taylor's favorite thing to do right now. He loves the fridge and to see what is inside. He thinks the best way to look around is to climb right in and get a close up.

RSV

Our sweet little buddy has RSV. I was worried about him the last few days so I called the pediatrican yesterday but the nurse was sure it was just a common cold. I didn't worry too much because today Taylor had his 9 month check-up and the Doctor could look at him then.

This morning Taylor woke with his eyelashes stuck together and just not looking happy. He also had a rash across his chest and back. Well we went to the Dr. at 2pm and Taylor coughed while we were there and the doctor asked me if that is how he has been coughing the last few days. I said "yes." He then informed me that is a RSV cough and the goopy eye is an eye infection and the rash is a symptom of the virus. Unfortunely, there is nothing we can do to help him. Hopefully, it doesn't get worse.

I do have to say that even through all this nastiness that Taylor has he is a happy little boy. He has a little whimper that he makes when he wakes up from coughing and will go back to sleep with a little comforting. During the day he goes about playing and beating up on the dogs. We love him so much.

Grandma Helen

Grandma Helen passed away on December 31st. She will be greatly missed. It is always hard to lose someone so special in your life but I know she is happier where she is now. I will always remember her and how much she loved her family.
