Father-Daughter Time

Jody and Taylor were having some "quality" time the other night. It's so fun to watch them interact. There's just something amazing that happens when your manly-man husband gets turned to mush by a tiny little baby. I can't wait til she gets older and starts dragging him into playing dress up with her!

Watching the History Channel. She already enjoys it more than her mother (I usually fall immediately asleep!).

Does it get any sweeter than this?

Get a Grip!

Last night Taylor was playing in her floor gym and managed to finally get a grab on one of the toys! What she has is a monkey rattle, and once she got him by the leg she hung on for dear life. It was so cute to watch her yank him around, and it was also nice to see her grab onto something besides my hair!


I've got you right where I want you!

I'll never let go Jack!

Sink Bath

Last night Taylor had a right of passage that I'm pretty sure every person on this planet has experienced - the kitchen sink bath. Jody was busy working on a project for his job and was therefore unavailable for a shower, so we rocked out the kitchen sink instead! I have to say she seemed to like it WAY better than the little baby tub we have, and didn't fuss one bit. I don't really think it will become a regular thing though, the shower is just so much faster and more convenient!

In other news, I start back to work this Tuesday, and I'm NOT looking forward to dropping my baby off at daycare that morning. Even just thinking about having to leave her for the day already makes me want to cry! To all my friends that are stay at home moms, I envy you.

Hamming it up. She loves getting scrubbed up!


What are you lookin' at?

This picture has nothing to do with the bath, but I just thought it was really cute!

Lovin' the Bumbo

I bought Taylor a Bumbo chair today, as you can see below, she absolutely LOVES it! Can't you just see the look of joy and contentment written all over her face? No really, she does like it, I just decided to take these pictures right before it was time for her to eat, and her patience was a little thin.

Night Night and Tummy Time

Here are a few pictures we took last night and this morning. I made Jody take one of Taylor and me because I think there are only like two in existence (guess who's usually taking the pictures!). Also, I had mentioned that Taylor can lift herself up onto her elbows, and the last two pics are me attempting to document that. Unfortunately, my camera sucks, and every time I would push the button there is a one or two second delay. Just long enough for me to catch a shot of her on her way back down instead of propped up high! Oh the frustration!



Getting Taylor ready for bed

Stupid camera! Half a second earlier and her arms were straight!


Alice came to see what all the fuss was about

Jody vs. Taylor

I've been saying for weeks now that I think Taylor looks just like Jody. He doesn't see it, so I thought I'd give everyone a little side by side. I think it's funny that they are even doing the same pose! Thanks Kay for bringing down some of Jody's baby pics!
