All about Taylor

When did by little newborn turn into such a baby! She is growing up so quickly and I'm happy to report in the last 3 weeks she has put on 2 pounds! She's finally growing and starting to fit into ALL of her 0-3 month clothes! It's about time since you know technically she could be in her 3-6 month size at this time! She is doing awesome all around. She loves to watch her big brothers play and sing songs to her. She loves to be involved and sitting up watching everything. She loves her binky and her sleep at night! She is a perfect baby to me and only cries when she is hungry or needs to be held, all in all can't complain about anything with her!

This girl is getting cuter and cuter by the day! I love to make her smile!

She is starting to get the big cheeks like her brothers!

Lovin her bumbo!

This is what I love about finally having a daughter! I couldn't resist and had to try on her swimsuits today and she was all smiles threw all of her outfit changes so mommy could get some pictures!

Her first trip to the swimming pool. It was so busy so I think she was too overwhelmed to know what to do with herself. She fell asleep after 30 minutes so we didn't stay too long!

There is a Reason

See there is a reason why I haven't posted in awhile. If you just so happen to notice there is a fourth little child in that picture above and adding one more four year old to my day this whole week has been busy! I had been watching my friends daughter this week and it has been an interesting week to say the least. But now the week is over today she is with her grandma, Connor is at school, and Zachary and Taylor are sleeping so I finally get a chance to sit down and write. But to be completely honest that isn't the only reason I haven't sat down and blogged, the other reason is that I am just feeling completely overwhelmed and exhausted right now. We are expierencing financial difficulties, marriage difficulties, work difficulties, you name we've probably got a problem and when I am facing all these difficuties together I'm just flat exhausted. But hopefully with time things will start to look on the bright side. I do have some good news though in my absence from my blog lookey what we did...

It has been and continues to be a struggle but we transitioned Zachary into the bunk bed and out of his crib! He fights us on it every night and it usually takes him an hour or more to fall asleep because of his new found freedom once he is asleep he is sleeping all through the night. The only down side is now he is up earlier than usual but hopefully as he gets more comfortable in his new bed that will change. Now the next step is potty training and he is soo not interested in it at all. We talk about it all the time but he shows zero interest in the potty. Even chocolates and lollipops won't intice him to pee in the potty :-( I'm getting really tired of changing two kids diapers day in and day out so I'll keep trying and see if he'll do it.

The Craziness of My Life

Just another day in my life with the kids!

3 months

Wow, it's already been three months. Seems like forever ago that I was pregnant. My life is crazy hectic since Taylor has arrived. It's very busy and at times overwhelming but I absolutely love having 3 kids. You should see the looks people give me when I'm out with them by myself, they look at me like I'm crazy! I think at least 3 times a week people tell wow you look like you've got your hands full. No s**t tell me something I don't know! Taylor is doing awesome though. She is such a good baby, I really have nothing to complain about. She only cries when she is hungry or when she wants to be held. She's getting to that age where she is starting to interact more and I love to sit down on the floor with her and the boys and we all play together. Connor is just absolutely loving his sister. Everytime she is on the floor and I'm trying to play with her he'll run over and take over. The cutest thing though is when I'm taking a shower and she is in the bathroom in her car seat. Connor is usually playing games on the computer but if he hears her crying he comes in and puts the binky in her mouth or feeds her the bottle without me even asking! One time I heard him running all over the house while she was crying and he finally came into the bathroom to tell me he couldn't find her binky to bring to her! It's so cute to see him be the big brother! Cuz when Zachary was born Connor was 2 and a half so while he was helpful he wasn't as helpful as he is now! Since the weather has been so nice lately I've been taking the kids to the park a lot which they have absolutely loved! It helps them run off their energy too so I don't mind! Work is work, it's going well not working too much only about 15 hours a week so not too bad. And really that's about it for what's going on in my world. Kids are growing as you tell with the pic of Taylor, she is smiling all the time! Not much cooing though. Zachary is a talking maniac now starting to put together 2-3 word sentences pretty cool..... Hope all you mothers out there have a truly wonderful Mother's Day!!

Photo Shoot

Tonight I decided to venture on my own photoshoot and suprisingly I like the results! I don't always find I'm the best photographer or capture the best moments with my kids but these pictures fall pretty close to being my all time faves. I actually "borrowed" some of these photo ideas from a lady I follow on flickr.com Anyways enjoy the pics :-)

Teeny tiny Taylor weighing in at just under 9 pounds at 3 months!

I don't know if you've noticed but she's got quite a bit of an outy belly button there!

It actually only took two photos to get the one I wanted with all three of them and that in itself is a miracle!

Taylor hanging out waiting for her picture to be taken

Zachary hammin' it up for the cameras! I love his pose here, too cute!


My kids love their hair gel!

Now this is a funny picture because if you look closely Taylor has decided that she just has to go potty at that paticular time and I didn't realize she went potty until I was looking at the picture on my camera afterwards but my facial expression seems to say that I knew what she was doing!

Yes Connor decided to join in on a little photo shoot and him and Taylor were having so much fun together! She was laughing and smiling so much and that was making Connor laugh too!
Taylor and her big smiles!
Taylor sitting in her bumbo seat! I'm so happy that I have one of these because everyone who I've talked to has loved theirs! She's still a little small for it so she only lasts a few minutes in there but hopefully in the next month or so she'll start enjoying it more!
Zachary and his cool leather jacket! He's becoming such a little ham for the camera..... I love it!
