Taylor Time

10/28/06 - Taylor made her first trip to the pumpkin patch/corn maze today! She seemed a little nervous standing amongst the pumpkins that were bigger than her. Overall I think we enjoyed it more than she did but she was a good sport. This outing also led to the first time Taylor wore shoes (courtesy of Grandpa Scott, Laura, and Anna). In sleeping news Taylor slept for 7 1/2 hours straight last night! YEAH! Let's hope she keeps it up! Lastly, tomorrow is Kevin's 26th birthday - Happy Birthday sweetie!

10/17/06 - Look at how strong I am! I'm standing all by myself.

Yep at 10 weeks old she's rolling over! Luckily Kevin was here for the event, in fact, I was out of the room the first time she did it so he was the privileged one (I'm a teeny bit jealous). This last week Taylor has had a bunch of firsts. She went in her stroller for the first time, we were shopping (of course) with aunt Amanda, she's still a little small for the stroller but her neck is so strong she reclines in it pretty well. She has also started to grab and hold on to her toys. Lastly I had to break down and trim her fingernails for the first time, I did okay but it's a tricky task.

Going for a walk in the park (mommy had to improvise with the photography) Watching my first movie 10/08/06 - This last week was Taylor's 2 month check-up and she did great! She weighed in at 12 lbs 1 oz (82 percentile) and is 22.75 inches long (67 percentile). These numbers show a continued answer to prayer, Taylor clearly has no eating issues! She also got another round of immunizations (5 shots in her thighs) which she didn't enjoy one bit (mommy cried a little too!). Taylor also took her first trip out of state to the city of roses, that's Portland, OR. Kevin had to work this weekend and we weren't about to go two weeks without seeing him so we packed up and headed south.

10/01/06 - Taylor and I just survived our first week alone while Kevin worked in Woodland, but we didn't enjoy it one bit! =) Taylor is 8 1/2 weeks old now and that means it's time for her 2 month check up and worse yet shots! We recently weighed Taylor on our scale and it said about 12 pounds (no feeding issues here) but we'll let you know the official weight and length after her doctor appointment. Taylor is getting more independent enjoying time in her swing to stare at her mobile and playing with her toys in her play gym. She also loves to go for walks in her Bjorn.
