Moms...what a blessing

I haven't posted in a while, but there is reason to update. Our Taylor girl was blessed by her dad on May 10th...mother's day...and my birthday! It was a special day for everyone. It was great to have all the moms together. My mom flew in from Vegas, Aaron's mom was there, and all of the sister in laws. It was quite the mom celebration.
Taylor did so great with her blessing. She was a little fussy right before we headed into sacrament so I was really nervous. I wanted her to be totally asleep, but she was wide awake. She didn't even have her binky in and she was just looking around and really happy throughout the entire blessing. Again..what a good girl. And she looked beautiful in her tiny white dress.

The entire Powell clan..minus one sister in law Holly and plus my mom. Can you believe that 3 of us have just started having kids? Its going to be chaos when everyone has finished having kids and there are more than 20 Powell kiddos running around and screaming. That's just a guess on how many there will be, Taylor is grandkid number 12 for the Powell side. It's always great getting together, especially since all of us live in Colorado now.
Aaron's BFF Evan and his fabulous wife Rebecca. You know how its hard when your husband has a best friend and you're worried about whether you will get along with their wife? Well, I love Rebecca...we haven't been able to hang out very much but every time we do its fabulous, we could talk for hours! I love that girl. I'm sad their moving to Chicago.
Just a cute shot of Taylor girl looking up at her daddy. She is like a little mini me.
And yet another cute pic. So...there are already a few nick names emerging. Taylo... (say it out loud, its kinda cute), and T-lo ( I don't like this one at all, reminds me of J-lo). Even though if Taylor is like her momma she will have a booty like J-lo. Which one do you guys like better?

I can't believe our Taylor girl is already 1 month old. We can't get enough of her. She is growing so fast. This is a little bit of what she's been doing...

She is getting better at looking at things and tracking objects
She had her first blow out (which luckily her dad got the pleasure of changing!)
When her mom is lucky she will sleep for 4 whole hours at a time at night
She is a really loud eater...loud!!
She is a really mellow baby...she will just be chill and look around, totally content

1 month
8 pounds 11 ounces

I wanted to get Taylor to her first shopping outing to the mall, girls gotta learn from a young age! She got to hang out with her friend Zak. Do you love the difference in size..Zak is 8 months old and Taylor 1 month. Cutie pies. I met my friend Holly from work at Cherry Creek mall, it was great to meet up and chat with her. I love that place, especially the area where the guy is just playing the piano...I could seriously just hang out there and veg.

She is such a little peanut in her bouncy chair.

Ok really...is this the cutest picture you have ever seen? Precious!!
We just can't get enough of this girl.
