Lil swimmer

Tegan's first "swim":

Grass? Dislike.

Tegan does not like the feeling of grass, she will lift her foot or leg so she doesn't have to touch it.

Carnahan 4 generations

While in Bend this weekend we got to see my dad and grandma, and by a stroke of luck we were all very color coordinated.

Washington DC zoo

Tegan and Justine checking out the turtles

This bronze panda made Tegan cry so Jeremiah took her over to investigate it.  

They took turns touching its nose.

Starting to think maybe he is ok

Yup, he's cool

This panda is the best thing ever!

To the top

We took a short trip to the east coast this week to visit family.  While in New York we went to the top of the Empire State Building - no fear of heights for this baby!

Oregon coast

This weekend we went to the coast with my dad, stepmom and nephew.  It was Tegan's first trip to the beach; when we stood her up on the sand she dug her foot into the sand and kept moving it around - very cute!

Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock

Feet in the Pacific! (brrr!!)

Look ma, no hands

Tegan continues to turn her nose up at crawling, but loves to stand and walk.  Lately she's been practicing standing on her own.  Here she was up about a minute, but usually it's more like 10-20 seconds before she falls.

So excited

Sunshine

We're so happy the sun finally came out today and decided to stick around for awhile!
