Taylor’s First Week at Daycare

And my first week back to work!  Whew! Glad that week is over, although I do work the weekend, so it starts all over again tomorrow, but I’m up for it.  This past weekend we had a HUGE snow storm, so since I had to leave a little earlier for work, Casey dropped Mr. T off at daycare.  It was probably for the better because although I was sad, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be.  I was SOOO excited to come home to my family.  I think Taylor was excited too.  So far everything has been going great.  I love being back at work, as weird as that sounds, and Taylor loves daycare.  Miss Kathy is so sweet to him and is always holding him close when we come pick him up.  It is so reassuring to have found someone that treats him so well, it makes things a lot easier!  Other than that, we are just getting our little routine down.  Last night he slept from 9 until 7, we actually woke up to our alarm!  It was weird, but I am thankful for the extra zzz’s I received.  Other than that, we really haven’t been up to much, just mainly enjoying each other’s company.  We are very excited about Spring coming so we can start playing outside.  Enjoy the pictures! I could put up soo many of the same thing, but hopefully this is a little bit of a variety. :)

 

  

It sure is hard to have tummy time, because he rolls over as soon as he pushes up!

 

He loves his naps! He has figured out how to get out of the swaddle, and likes to sleep with his hands up.

 

 

Here he is talking and wondering what I am holding and keeps clicking in his face.  I love the top left picture of him, he was talking right to the camera!

All you need is LOVE

Happy Valentine’s Day, a little late.  We had a great Valentine’s Day this year.  A little different than all of our past Valentine’s Days, but definitely an improvement.  Casey had to work, but Taylor and I had a great day.  We took a bunch of photos, and he wasn’t too sure about some of them, but I was still able to get a cute one out of him.  Then, when daddy came home we played on the floor and read some books on the couch. 

It’s amazing how someone so little can change your life so much.  He brings so much joy to our life, we just wish that we lived a little closer to share his already vibrant personality with the rest of the family. 

  

His scowl face.  Not the most attractive, but funny.

Working out in our gym!

Finally a good one. Just talking away.

 

We also went on our first walk outside in our stroller.  It was so much fun, and great to be outside.  He feel asleep in his bear suit before we even stepped out the front door, but he looked so cute all bundled up.  He even had a little smile.  Oh, how I can’t wait for spring.  We can see our grass and I can’t wait to run to the park and have picnics! 

 

Until next time…

Finally!!

We finally caught one of Taylor’s contagious smiles on camera! 

What We’ve been up to…

Everything!  It has been awhile since we have updated everyone on what we have been up to.  We have been up to so much, that we just haven’t had time to tell everyone about our fun adventures!  This past month has been very exciting for us.   Taylor is on an eating schedule, he rolls over from front to back regularly, he sleeps through the night (with just one night of thinking that 3:30 was wake up time), and he makes the most wonderful talking sounds.  We finally received his dresser in, so I have been busy finishing his room. 

He LOVES the circles on his walls, and just stares at them.  He is now into 0-3 month onesies, but still in newborn pants.  While they are a little short, the other pants fall off his little bottom.We were also able to meet Mama Smith, who tells Taylor she loves him so much already.  

The only other thing that has been going on was that Taylor had a spout of baby acne, and dry skin!  It was horrible!  His little face was so red and it just looked like it hurt.  We received some great medical advice from Dr. Dave, and it eventually cleared up. :)

 

He is doing really well holding up his head, and his smiles melt my heart every time.  It is amazing the love that you can have for someone so little, and every little thing they do makes you smile even bigger. Raising a child is the most rewarding experience that any person can imagine!  While I don’t wish these moments away, I can’t wait to experience so much more…
