Bella's Bouncies

Went to Bella's Bouncies in Lake Villa with Kimberly Atterberry Meyer and the kids today. They had soo much fun! I was surprised at how independent Teagan was. Pretty much went on everything by herself, just needed a little help getting up on a few things but Emery showed her how to be a little monkey!


jumping in the jumpy house! Even Harper got into it. So cute! Teagan was having so much fun in the tunnels she lost a piggie tail!


Teagan kept going down this slide over and over. Every time she went down she would fall forward at the last second. I finally got it on camera, and good thing to because after i shot this she got smarter and went on her belly. My child is sooo smart!! :)


Needless to say, we were there for almost 3 hours and Teagan was getting so tired she just wanted to get her balloon and leave. then of course after we packed everyone up she wanted to stay and cried half way home that she wanted me to turn around and go back... go figure. but she fell asleep pretty quick once we got home.


potty training update: We are on day 2 of underwear only except naps and bedtime and no accidents!!

Thursday fun at Dog Park

Teagan had more fun at the water hole than the rest of the park i think!  She had so much fun giving all the thirsty dogs a drink.



Cookie and Paw's having fun for the first time in the water at the dog park. Toby was showing them the ropes...

Worm Hunting

Worm hunting on Monday after all the crummy rain! Teagan loved looking for worms.



I love hearing her say "puddles" she says it different every time! It took me about 10 minutes to get her to go inside without bringing those dang worms in!



it is impossible to get this girl to do anything!!! she has mastered the art of stalling! Needless to say, I made macaroni and hotdogs for dinner since it took us so long to get inside.

mindless chatter

i was really just trying to get a good picture of her new haircut! of course the camera was not working properly again, but now that i have figured it out, no more videos this crappy!

First Hair Cut

I cut Teagan's hair today (3-7-12) for the first time ever!! it wasnt that hard, she just didnt want to sit still. I think next time i will do some layers. He hair was just getting to straggly and knotted for me to do anything with. Plus, she hates getting her hair brushed so this was the best of both worlds. i cut about 2.5 inches off when it was wet. it is now right at her shoulders. a little shorter than i originally planned, but it is cute.



i took a picture of the very small wad of hair after it was all done, but unfortunately i dont have any memory on my blogger account so i cant put anymore pictures on here. enjoy.

Teaching Toby

how to roll over.. interesting. sorry, still bad picture.



and again


and one more time!

Swimming 3-3-12

going under the hoop



still not getting used to the water in her ears... makes her a little uncoordinated...


getting in and out of the pool


 using her floaties!


the jump! she closed her eyes as soon as she turned around...


i finally figured out (just now) why the videos are so blurry and it wont let you zoom in or out after you start taping, i had it on compact. so it makes it a smaller file size and limits capabilities. but it is fixed now so hopefully the rest will be better quality. except the next two i have too bad, would have been a good one!!!

teagan videos

see the fingers on the lens...that is my problem!

Olives, yummy!!!

later they got spit out since she couldnt chew them all, but then ate them the second time around...

Swimming 2-25-12

Teagan and the other kids did really well this week! they had a new teacher this time. They really seemed to like her. I think the two teachers are sisters. sorry for the blurry pictures, not sure what the deal is, the camera might just be dirty from teagan playing with it all the time and getting her finger prints all over the lens.



jump jump around.




The water in the ears this time around threw all the kids off. They are not big fans...


Teagan and Emery chatting, i wish it didnt echo so much in the pool area so we could hear them better.


move those arms... but dont forget about your feet!!


arms up and down.


Grand Finale!!!

Her best jump yet!!! All the kids did well with their jumps under water. Tegan even closed her eyes and held her breath all on her own!! i was soooo proud of her.
