Mom, You're so Funny!

Or at least that's what Taffe thinks! The past few nights Taffe begins laughing and smiling at me as soon as I lay him down in his crib. It's too irresistible to not engage him for a bit. Mom is such a sucker!

Weekend Events

It's been a very eventful weekend! Taffe finally rolled over... that's what all the fussin' in the crib has been about. Since he successfully rolled over Friday afternoon, we now find him on his tummy. What a strong little guy!

Here is Taffe showing off the gorgeous produce we chose at the Ballston farmer's market. We love walking around and choosing fresh VA veggies.

Auntie Kendra came by for a visit on Saturday afternoon. Taffe loves Kendra! She always finds a way to make him laugh, and provides him with lots of entertaining noises. Thanks for coming over!

Swimming Buddies

Yesterday Taffe and I took Danielle and Charlie to the pool. It was Charlie's very first time! He seemed to like it! Taffe was loving the pool as always and gave Aunt Ceci (Danielle) some big smiles as he showed off his swimming skills. The boys are too cute in their swim outfits together!

Milestones

Taffe has hit some big developmental milestones. This is big stuff and very exciting... just not when it's prohibiting him from sleeping. :) Now Taffe can:
Grab his feet
Roll side to side
Take the pacifier in and out of his mouth
Talk incessantly...
And he cut his first tooth!
Last night Taffe had a party in his crib... rolling around and talking from 4 o'clock till 5 o'clock in the morning. This is a clip of what he sounds like in the wee hours of the morning (and most of the day!)

Baby Beethoven

Introducing... our new Baby Beethoven! Taffe throughly enjoyed banging on the keys of his mom's baby grand piano. Maybe he wasn't doing it intentionally since he hits whatever is in front of him (table, water, you,) but he was making some music! :) The piano was delivered from my parents to the Ricciardiellos who will hold on to it for me until we have a home that can hold a baby grand. Soon enough Taffe will be able to play all he wants.

Nap Time ...or Not

Does it look like he's sleeping in this picture? Nope! But the picture was taken during nap time. In the past few weeks, Taffe has discovered his feet. And boy... Feet are fun! So fun, that instead of sleeping, Taffe would rather be grabbing his feet and rolling from side to side.

First Trip to Kingston

Taffe took his very first trip to Nana and Papa's cabin in Kingston, NY. He experienced his first plane ride, and he was a great flyer! After two days of getting some QT with Nana and Papa, Taffe's cousins Dylan and Gavin came. Needless to say, it was a bit crazy at times with all the kids....9 people sleeping in our cabin alone! Not to mention cabins 1 and 6 were full of McGarrigals, too!

Life at the cabins means...

Bath time in the sink.

Playing cards with Nana.

Singing with Papa.
