What we are doing this week.....

This week we decided to go to Lithonia, GA with your dad while he worked there. Daddy works out of town a lot so now that Madison is out of school we can go with him. You have been pretty good considering your not in your norm. You are a little ill in the evenings but things are not on schedule like you are used to. We brought your favorite swing that we got from Travis so you are enjoying your time here. Makes you feel a little like home.

You are getting your own little personality now. I can see it come out more and more each day. You are too cute. You are so aware of your surroundings too you are constantly looking around to see whats going on or see something that catches your attention. Madison will play with you and talk to you and you will stare at her and take it all in like you are really listening to what she is saying. And then you will grin really big at her.

Your grinning and smiling all of the time now. You make everyone around you smile. You will make those sounds like a owl now and its so funny. But you do it cause it gets a rise out of everyone and that's what your trying to do. It gets you attention so hey it works.

I cannot believe you are getting so big. Each day passes its like i am missing something. It seems like yesterday i had you. :( But i am gonna enjoy every second with you.

How the time goes by.....

You are getting so big so quick....Its so sad how they grow up so fast. You still have colic and cry in the evening but its not as bad as it was for hours at a time. You maybe only cry for less than an hour and some days are better than others. I hate that you are in pain and theres nothing we can do to make it go away. Gas meds work eventually but nothing is a quick fix.

During the day you don't sleep too much anymore just maybe little cat naps. Your happy at times and grin and coo its so sweet. You are using your ooooooo's a lot now. Everythings ooo :). You will move your mouth like you wants to talk but not a lot comes out.

All about those hands too. Always trying to get them to the mouth. Its a battle all day, but keeps you content. When you finally get them you try to stick fist and all in your mouth.

Growing like a weed most of the 0-3 mths cloths don't fit anymore and you have moved to 3mths or 3-6mths outfits. BIG GIRL!

June 1, 2009 we got your ears pierced. You cried a little bit but pretty much like getting a shot once i hugged you things were good. You are so cute now. Everyone says you look older with them pierced. They have your birthstone in them. Not sure what it is but its blue.

You are giggling now its so cute. I got you on my leg and was riding the horsey and you giggled, its soo sweet.

In the beginning

Well lets see.....On March 16, 2009 I went to my normal weekly doctors appointment and they did a non stress test which Taylor was NOT active enough. They did some special ultra sound which she did not pass but 4 out of the 10 tests. Also my urine collect test come back with protein in my urine. So needless to say Dr Fox sent me to the hospital and they started inducing me at lunch time. I was so worried cause Michael was in Columbia and was almost three hours away. I was worried he wouldn't make it in time. When they induced me with Madison i had her in four hours. This time was much much different! They got the paperwork done got me started on the drip which was so slow but that's the way it is. Mom, Cindy, Shelli, Crystal and Athena were the ones there at first. Michael made it then he went home and got a shower and came back. It was a slow process so by the evening it was just Crystal, Mom, Michael, Daddy, Josh, Chris, Cindy, Audrey and Cecil. Time went on and we finally had her about 2:08 am. She weighed 8lbs 4ozs and was 21 inches long. She had a head full of brown hair. She cried at first but once under the lights she layed there so content. We came home in two days and i was so ready to be out of that bed! I attempted the breast feeding in the hospital and it was so hard but i did it and then when we came home she just didn't want to latch on at all so i started her on formula. Shes been on formula since.

To my daughter

The reason for this blog is to remember certain milestones in my daughter Taylor's life. Children grow up so fast its like you blink and its a month later. I want to remember every detail not only in my memory but i like to write it down or should i say blog it. It is a new millennium so blog is the "IN" thing to do. Plus Taylor can look back on this and see how she grew into the woman she becomes.

I am almost two months behind on this as it is. Like i said before time flys. She will be two months old on June 17. So we gotta do a little catching up on the things before today before we can move on to the future :).

If you are reading these posts just please bare with me i am new to all this "blogging".
