Adair turns on the charm

Completely un-coached cuteness.

In her Easter Bonnet

Ah, Easter. Peeps for breakfast. Her first cup of coffee (look around the lips for the telltale signs). With chicory, of course. Parachute rides and a real Easter Bonnet- winner of most authentic bonnet at Spiker's Annual Easter Bonnet Party. (OK, at least oldest bonnet- see the vintage Nikki monogram?)

A visit from Florida

Nana and all of the Taylor cousins paid a visit to Mandeville after Thanksgiving. Here is a picture of all the girls together.

Here are all the little cousins and the Nutcrackers.













Not everything was sugarplums and fairy dust.

On the way to trick and treat!













Hey Sheep!

Adair takes the Cake

She just loved Happy Birthday and bopped along to the tune she's come to love. Once the cake came, in true Adair style, she was deliberate, thorough and focused on the task at hand. It was like only she and the cake were in the room. Until the ice cream showed up.

The Cake(s)

A day to be proud- our beautiful baby turns one, and I actually finished the big bird cake.

Adair's 1st Birthday

The guests arrived at 11:00. Lila, Sadie, Audrey, Adeline, Mollie and Ella, along with their respective adult counterparts. Adair lead the group in a juice tasting cup swap before lunch was served.

A very good vintage.

A new favorite activity has emerged- posing at the windowsill. Somehow, she knows just what to do when the camera comes out. Can you just hear the squeals? Wonder what Tyra would say about that. Also shown in her big bird shirt (authentic vintage, used to be mine. All credit goes to BB for knowing what to keep for the next generation). Long live Big Bird.

The littlest hands on the farm

Adair really did pick cherries all by herself, making the fresh-off-the-tree taste she had even sweeter. She had some help getting up there in the branches, but when it comes to grabbing and pulling, we all know Adair needs no assistance. (editorial from Shashlyk). It was just abut the cutest thing ever. I can't imagine a more picturesque day.
