3 months old!

What a busy month it has been. Taylor had her first Easter and attended her first birthday party. She is kicking, cooing and grabbing for objects. And she has discovered toys! Unfortunately, she has also discovered her thumb which keeps me busy trying to pull it out all day. She's sleeping well and is pretty happy overall (unless she's hungry and then she'll let you know).

All ready for Charlotte and Virginia's birthday party - my first one

Hanging out in the swing at the party.

Easter morning - all ready for Church

We made it to Church! And guess what - The First Lady, Barbara Bush, came over and told Taylor she was cute. I wish I had a picture of that.

Taylor's First Rodeo

Thank you Jonathan and Lindsay for humoring us and documenting Taylor's first trip to the rodeo. However, Taylor took one peek at the crowd and one sniff of the livestock and was perfectly content sleeping under a blanket in her carrier for the entire trip. Taylor is anxiously awaiting the arrival of her new BFF Baby Roumel...who is also moving 3 blocks down the street. In the meantime, the daddies spent their time at the rodeo exploring the big trucks and tractors...we all know it's going to be playing princesses and driving Barbie cars from her on out!!! Sorry guys. :(

10 Weeks Old

I can't believe my baby girl is already 10 weeks old. We had a big month with a visit to Dad's new office, a hello from the Bregman clan, a visit from Aunt Patti and Vicki, a hat fashion show, multiple shopping trips to Nordstrom's (notice I'm smiling in all of these pictures) and a trip to the Rodeo.

Sleeping at 6 Weeks and Out of the Mommy Cave

I think we have turned a corner this past week or so...Taylor is sleeping "through the night". We posted several 6, 7 and 8 hours of straight sleep this week!!! OK, I'll let you in on the big secret...TIGHT SWADDLING. I hope we don't jinx ourselves.

Also, we can come out of the Mommy Cave. The doctor said I'm healed so we can now start getting out of the house (lifting the carrier) and exercising. We cannot wait to go the grocery, gym and shopping!!! Here are some recent pictures of Taylor's past few weeks.

Who knew it was so cold in Houston that Taylor would need a hat with earmuffs and gloves?

Hanging out with Ryan and Julia...right before I spit up all over Ryan's shirt.

Snuggling with Daddy...

All dressed up for dinner with Grandpa, Lori, Uncle Ken and Aunt Mary. Check out the fur collar.

Taylor can smile and wave!

Happy Valentines Day!

She loves her paci (and so do we).

All dressed up to go shopping at Neiman's with Grandma.

Taylor's not sure about mom's photo shoot.

She finally looked at the camera and we got our picture for the announcement!

Bird face! I love when she does this.

Taylor's first real bath. She liked it so much she fell asleep!

First Three Weeks in Review

I know everyone wants more pictures...so here are a few from the first three weeks. It's amazing how the days have flown by. (The nights not so much.) It's hard to believe my baby is already three weeks old.
