I now look at this question "Where does the time go?" in a totally different light! I realize everyday that that day will never come again. I have to cherish January 15, 2011 at 10:13 a.m. when Taylor sneezes like its my last day on earth!! I recently looked back on videos taken of Taylor as she progressed from smiling to playing on her playmat to now sitting up in the bathtub all by herself and thought where does the time go?!
Taylor is now 6 months old and healthy as a horse! I'm so very thankful she hasn't even had the slightest sniffle in her short little life yet.
She's already a well traveled baby. She's been to Boston in October to visit Aunt Hal and Uncle Al which included apple picking, walks through Cambridge, riding the "T" to Boston, great food and time spent family that considers to be blessed with Taylor being apart of their lives. It was also her very first plane ride that went very smooth. She ate, slept and enjoyed being held the whole time.
Taylor's first Halloween sure was fun! She was the cutest ladybug ever! Mommy and Daddy took her trick or treating and also to the restaraunt where Daddy works to show off her adorable costume and how adorable she looked wearing it!
First Thanksgving was a great one, very uneventful which to me is the perfect Thanksgiving. I just like to be lazy eat seconds and thirds and watch tons of football! :) Next year will be even more fun when Taylor can eat the food!!
Mommy and Daddy took their first trip away in November to Los Angeles, CA and saw Uncle Bub and Aunt Misti. What a blast that was! Lakers game, awesome food at STK, amazing day at Universal, all around a wonderful time. I love spending time with my brother...I see him the least so I cherish when I can! Taylor was living it up and her grandparents visting Mimi's horse, hanging out with Papa taking naps and watching football. They also love taking Taylor out to dinner and show her off to everyone they see! :) They are so proud!
Baby's First Christmas was wonderful! We had an early Christmas with familly so we got to celebrate all month long! Taylor's favorite thing to do was play with the wrapping paper after her gifts we opened! She's amazed by the little things! It was fun having her first ornaments on the tree, shopping for baby toys, and dressing her up in the prettiest dresses and cutest little Christmas onesies. Next year she will be more aware of gifts/toys/Santa, but this Christmas was still adorable. :) She had her picture taken with Santa. She was a good sport and never cried but did pull his beard which cause Santa a little pain while Mommy had to release the death grip from her little tiny fingers from his beard! We also took family pictures that we will always treasure. New experiences (fireworks on Christmas?!), new traditions and new memories were experienced by my little family. It was a great one and now looking forward to the New Year!
Taylor recieved her blanket she is now inseperable with this year for Christmas from Aunt Hal and Uncle Al. Its embroidered with the most precious words: "On your First Christmas, Sweet baby Taylor, may this keep you safe and warm while you dream and remind you that the world is yours. Always, Aunt Hal and Uncle Al"
So far 2011 has been wonderful! We kicked it off by going to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Ohio State vs. Arkansas. Go Bucks! And they won! Great game to watch too! Taylor did very well. I called her Dr and made sure he gave me the okay she could withstand the Superdome and all the noise. I got some baby earplugs and off we went! She had a couple bottles and cheered along with Mom and Dad!
Everyday life in our household now consists of toys and more toys, fun filled late nights playing Wii with our friends and enjoying life with our beautiful daughter! Oh the joy Taylor has brought to our lives!
Coming up: trip to Texas for a visit to see family and some to meet Taylor the first time as well as San Diego in May for my Brother's wedding! These will be the next big adventures Taylor will make.
I promise more current and shorter blogs for 2011!! :)
