Taylor's First Walk

The first five weeks of Taylor's life were spent in the hospital.  It was a big day when finally were able to bring her home.  We bundled her up really tight since it was November and made the 30 second transfer to the car.  That has been the extent of her outdoor journey.  Car transfers to Paw-Paw and Gammy's house and back and car transfers from Papa and Mama-Bo's house and back.  Oh, and I can't forget the Doctor's visits.  With all that time in the great outdoors, she is a regular Jeremiah Johnson.

Don't get us wrong, we wanted to take her outside more, but this winter has been harsh for us warm-weather Alabamians.  Whenever we were ready to take a walk outside with her, it looked a little similar to this.  We weren't willing to risk it.  Although she is almost 4 months old, she is gestationally only about 1.5 months old. 


Fortunately, after months of cold weather, the heavens smiled on our little town in Alabama and we were able to attempt our first walk.  It was still a little chilly so Rebecca bundled her up in what has to be the cutest outfit on the face of the planet.  Don't believe me, check it out for yourself.


 We got out the stroller and set off on our trip around the neighborhood.  Rebecca took a picture to commemorate the occasion:


 Taylor had a great time.  She looked around and smiled. 



We took her in after only one loop around the neighborhood though as her face was getting a little chilly.  Hopefully when she gets bigger I'll be able to take her on some hikes at a park up the road.  If she's anything like her daddy, she'll love it!
