Vegas baby

In the beginning of June I was able to go home to Vegas to see my fam. I was so excited because it was the baby debut! Most of my family hadn't met Taylor yet, and I hadn't met Shane's little gal Madalynn. We had the craziest, packed week and a half of my life. I had to come home and recover afterwards, but it was all worth it. I got to see tons of family and friends. It was fabulous. And of course the best part was showing off my little Taylor girl.

Here is a pic of Madalynn on the left (if you zoom in you can see the sweet, totally natural mohawk) and Taylor on the right. They are only 5 days apart and total cutie pies. Madalynn is a lot bigger than Taylor so in any pictures we would try to take she was trying to hit my little girl. What's up with that?!

My sweet Grandma Verna. It was great to visit her, she's hilarious. I would love to be as sharp as her when I'm at the young age of 90. Living by herself and everything.

Again..madalynn on the right trying to knock out my little taylor.

The proud grandma. I think Taylor had a bit of jet lag, because she was doing a whole lot of sleeping for the first couple days we were there.

Baby Talk!

Life has been crazy...

We have offically moved from Denver, and are loving our new residence in Loveland. Moving was craziness, especially because Aaron was out of town and really busy with work, so I literally packed the entire apartment myself. We moved in a couple of days before 4th of July. I have to give thanks to my Taylor for being the best baby in the whole world and allowing me to put in her every play activity we had to keep her busy while I packed/cleaned. She's an amazing baby.

We were exhausted to say the least, but happy to move in to our new place and get started up here. I got a new job working at a hospital in acute care just doing on call (only working a couple days a month). I'm really exicted. Aaron is really liking his job as a medical device salesman.

On more exciting news...Taylor is growing up so fast!!

She is...
spitting up a ton
sucking on her hands
starting to reach and grab for things
smiling like crazy
laughed one time (on the same day that you asked me about it Tracie!)
doing great with tummy time (her neck is stronger than mine)
getting chubbier by the second
sleeping through the night more than half of the time (yeah for me!!)

Chubby girl.. 4th of July. She's looking all cute in her red/white/blue and wearing big girl jeans for the first time. We saw the fireworks from Estes Park and they were fabulous. Of course Taylor slept right through them. Chillin with daddy-o...lookin cuteThis was one of our pool times in Denver. This is what she was doing before we were about to take her in the water, so you can imagine what happened right afterwards...Cry fit!! She wasn't very happy about being awakened by getting her feet dipped in the pool. We went another time though when she was awake and she was a champ! (The sunhat looks a little weird because it was too big so we had to fold it up, but doesn't she look adorable in her tiny swim suit?! : )Taylor is great at helping mom cook or clean in the kitchen from her bumbo seat. She will check out what I'm cooking and just look around, it's so stinkin cute. She's even great at sitting in her bumbo while I'm doing my hair and make up, and she'll just sit and stair/smile at herself in the mirror. I hope I'm not making her vain! I had to post this pic first of all because of the cute beanie, but second of all so everyone can see her precious profile! Don't you love the squishy roundness?! You can see in this pic that she has my nose! Confession: Aaron has the craziest, biggest boogers I have ever seen. My sweet little baby Taylor girl has giant boogers that I have to get out of her nose every day!!! Even when she's not sick...gross. Here is proof that she is her daddy's girl. I found her like this when she was playing under her play gym one day. Just a few video highlights. (don't worry, those were actually clean towels in there that we were storing in there for packing...I wouldn't have my little girl rollin around in the dirty laundry folks)
