Here she is, in all her glory with her big brother protecting her from falling, since she hasn't mastered the trick of sitting up yet. Taryn turned 6 months on the 24th of this month. I am just floored that the time has flown by so fast. She is at the "FUN" baby stage. (See I am not a fan of the newborn stage or the sort-of newborn stage.) I love this stage in my kiddos lives because they start to "babble" and laugh and act happy, instead of screaming all of the time.
She has gotten so much better since she was born. The reflux is gone and she is sleeping a little bit better. She still gets up to eat about every 3 hours in the night, but that is way better than the hourly feeding. She is also into eating pears, peas, bananas and apple sauce. She likes eating with a spoon and thinks she is a big girl, since she watches us eat and then mimics what we do. It is funny to watch.
She has learned to roll over to her stomach but she can't quite figure out how to get back over. She laughs and giggles as she rolls over to her stomach, but once she realizes that she cannot get back over she screams for help and then one of us have to turn her back over. She has also started "talking" as babies do. She mumbles and babbles and will talk your ear off. She is just like Tyson in that aspect. I wish I could stop time and keep Tyson and Taryn at their ages right now. I love being a mother!
Soon it was time to get Grandma T back to our home to pack up her bags and head to the airport. Tyson wasn't happy at all that we were taking Grandma T back to the airport. We took a few last pictures with Grandma. And the kids got lots and lots of hugs and kisses.
Tyson didn't quite understand why all the candy was hidden all over the place, or why his eggs that he had colored were hidden as well. So we had to explain that the Easter bunny hides the eggs and leaves candy. He has never had a real Easter, since his first 2 were on the island and the last one we were moving to Michigan. So we had to explain what was going on and after the 
The Easter Bunny was a slick little rabbit, he hid eggs all over the place. We had to help him find a few that were well concealed.
He picked out his basketball Easter basket. He loves anything associated with basketball. 
Tyson made a haul. What a nice Easter Bunny. We have been on a sugar high ever since.
Thanks to Grandma T, we had a family picture taken. This is a rare 
That is the 
We took one to many pictures, so by the time we got to Grandma T's, Taryn wasn't hearing it. She was ready to be done! The girl can scream as you can see by the face she is making.
Church was great and the kiddos were good. We got home, had a wonderful lunch and then Tyson fell asleep. We let him sleep for about an hour and then woke him up to go and roll Easter eggs. He had wanted us to roll them this morning but we didn't have time. So now that the light was beginning to fade, we went to go roll Easter eggs. The walk there wasn't pretty, Tyson was mad for some crazy reason. We went to the park by our house and it has a little hill, perfect for rolling eggs. He and Grandma T got to the top and the tears began to flow.
The standoff between Grandma T and Tyson. 
Check out that air! Holy Cow is all I have to say about that. Today we took mom and the family up north Michigan to a Motocross event. And WHOA was it expensive. It was 80 dollars to go in, but if you just stayed for the day they refunded 1/2 your money. GEEZ! It was a beautiful clear day, but it was not warm. It was very chilly and the wind was not helping matters. So we were bundled to the hilt.
Tyson is ready for the races to begin. He was bundled up well, funny thing is not only was it cold but the SUN was out and this mommy didn't think of sunscreen. DUH! Needless to say both of my kids and my husband were crisp critters in the face. I didn't get sunburned, because my makeup has SPF 20 in it. What are the odds!
Yes we were bundled from the cold, but she fell asleep and the side of her face closest to the sun, got FRIED!!!! Oh I am such a bad mommy!!
You can start to see the frying of the cheek. Oh those little kissable cheeks are a bit crispy!
Grandma T and Tyson. Tyson had so much fun watching all the races and he would pick out a racer, for each race and cheer them on. It was so funny. He would yell for them each time they passed by. He now informed us that he wants a motorbike. Oh no! And so it begins....
Dad and daughter. This is so cute. Taryn loves time with daddy!
Tyson picked the Tie-Dyed egg dye. It was pretty neat to watch Tyson do this all by himself.
The process consisted of him putting drops of ink into a plastic bag with the egg inside, and then rubbing the ink all over the egg, without rubbing it all over him. YA RIGHT! We had nice colored hands at the end, but what would Easter egg coloring be without colored hands. I mean come on.....live a little.
I even got into the spirit of things, and yes my hands are still colored.
