It's Pinata Time!

Taylor's Great Grandma turned 92 on Oct.10 and the WHOLE family was there to celebrate. Taylor was the first to hit the pinata, she almost cracked it open, so we had to give the other kids a chance at it too.

We've Reached Month #2!

We're in month number two and are beginning to experience some new joys. Although Kristina has experienced Taylor crack a few smiles, I haven't been so lucky. I did, however, catch this one adorable shot.  

Taylor's 2 month check-up went great, aside from Taylor's shots, mommy did fine too. Kristina brought along her sister for moral support and it turned out all three of them ended up crying when the vaccinations were done. Who likes seeing their child in pain? Hopefully it gets better with each visit. Taylor now weighs 11lb, 10oz, 23 in. Dr says she is in the 75th percentile for her weight. All in all everything looks fine and we couldn't ask for a better visit.

Starting at week 4 Taylor started to get real fussy especially around the witching hours of 4-8pm. When you're a new parent trying to sooth your child and NOTHING works you can't help but feel helpless. In the beginning Kristina was having a hard time with it but it seems to be getting much better now. We ended up changing her formula to the Gentalease to help with the gas and that seemed to help a little. We hear by the 9th or 10th week the fussiness goes away.....can't wait.

Taylor's First Halloween!

We survived our first Halloween...all three of us! It was Taylor's first experience with the ghouls and goblins of the night, and our first time going out without her. Grandmommy and Grandpoppy Simon were wonderful babysitters, allowing us to get out for a few hours to enjoy the evening. Considering we got a late start with the thing called "parenthood", and the fact that we feel we've aged quite a bit due to a lack of sleep, Kristina and I thought these costumes expressed how we've been feeling lately.
