6 Months

I can't believe Tay is already a half a year old, oh how time flies.We went to Dr Duffy to get her shots and she how she is checking in! Baby girl is 15.4lbs and sorry I can't remember her length, but she is tall and skinny (I know I was shocked too, those little chubby thighs don't look skinny to me). She is getting so big...the doc said she looks perfect!
The band aids from her shots.Yep chopped a lot of inches off of my hair...it was way over due! I should have done it a long time ago! This is what she did for the next 2 days. She was running a high fever (she always does after shots) and all she wanted to do was snuggle!Last but not least...I am a little miss crafty pants lately. My latest masterpiece is this cute wreath made out of balloons! Isn't it cute! I LOVE it!

Mother's day letter to Tay



Dear Taylee Girl,

As I rocked you to sleep tonight and looked down at your little face, I felt so over whelmed with gratitude and love. You see today is my first Mother's Day as a mother. I never imagined the love I could have for another person. It is the most selfless and purest love, a love I never knew existed. You are everything to me and I adore you! Your personality has really started coming out the past few weeks. I love everything about you.

You are a talker, you babble all day long! Not only do you babble, if you feel like it you full on yell. I love it, you are not afraid to show how you are feeling no matter what.

You are an observer, you have to study everything. I really hope you keep this trait throughout your life. Mommy wasn't like that and I made many mistakes by leaping before I looked. I hope you always keep this trait and observe situations as well as other around you. Maybe one day this trait will keep you safe as well as prevent you from making mistakes and suffering from a broken heart!

You are dainty, you have the sweetest features and I will never know how I (and daddy) made something so cute!

You smile when things are hard. No matter how tired, hungry, or grumpy you are you will always give us a smile! You are such a happy baby!

You are smart, of course just like every mother I am convinced that you a genius and super advanced for your age. You love learning new things.

You are my snuggle buggie. You love to snuggle with mommy at night before bed, you play with my hair, softly, as I sing you to sleep. You also always put your hands up to touch my face and then hold my hand as you fall asleep. My favorite time of the day is bedtime, because I know that for 15 min I can hold you in my arms and you that you won't be to busy for me. I cherish these moments, as I know that one day you will not want me to snuggle and rock you to bed.


You are beautiful and such a girl. You have the longest lashes and people comment on them everywhere we go. You love your hair bows and have found a new fascination with shoes...taking after mommy already!

Most of all I am so blessed to call you my daughter. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for the opportunity he has given me to be your mommy. I love you with all my heart and can not wait for the day that I can hear your little voice say "mommy". I hope you know I will always be here for you no matter what and although it might not always seem like it, I will continue to strive everyday to be the best mommy I can be. I will give you all that I can give.


I love you, sweet baby of mine. Thank you for making my Mother's day perfect!


Love,

Mommy

New things...

In the past month Taylee has grown and changed so much! She has become her own little person, she is strong willed and stubborn when it comes to certain things (both Zach and I being very stubborn, unfortunately she knew she was bound to be herself!) yet, she is the sweetest little thing the majority of the time. She is the happiest baby I think I have ever seen! In the past month Taylee has gotten 2 teeth, yes 2 teeth at 5 months. What the CRAP? She has gotten her first cold, I have found out that the cold that Taylee had was way worse on me than her! She could not breath laying down so I had to sit up with her and hold her the majority of the night, Mommy was very ornery the next day! Thank goodness for my mom who came over and watched her the next day so I could sleep! Also, she has been eating solids, which from the pictures below you can tell that she loves to eat. Apples and peaches are sour and she squints her eyes and shivers her whole body. It is so funny. She is also sitting up on her own! Wow...where has my little baby girl gone, she is getting so big!



How cute is she...sorry I may be slightly bias...
