2 Months Old

Taylee is two months old now. I can't believe it. It has gone by so fast. It feels like just yesterday we brought her home from the hospital. She is such a GOOD baby!!! She has started sleeping 9 hours at night. Which is heavenly for Chris and I. She is smiling and talks a little bit. She loves any attentions she gets and smiles the whole time if you will sit and talk to her. She loves the bears that hang on her swing and I will often find her smiling and cooing to them. (IT is so precious). She loves her brother and sister and will stop crying when they come and talk to her. She has started getting the cutest little rolls on her legs. I could just kiss them all day long. Overall she is very easy going and so much fun.

WE took her to the doctor today and she got 3 shots. I hate those things. I know they are for her own good, but still completely hate them. She is our first kid who I have sat with while they have gotten shots. I usually make Chris do it because I almost cry every time. But the good part of the visit was finding out how big she has gotten. She now weighs 12.5 lbs. and is in the 90% for her weight. And she is 25 1/2 inches long, which is over 100% for her length. Our doctor said she is off the charts on that one. I guess so far it looks like she is on the fast track to being really tall.

Blessing

We blessed Taylee today. It was a really neat day. Chris's sister and her husband and son came for the blessing. And we also had Chris's Aunt and her family at the blessing. We were so glad that they could be here with us on her special day.

My Mom made the most beautiful blessing dress for Taylee. It is amazing!!! I can't even begin to explain how perfect and wonderful it turned out. My Mom is so amazingly talented and we were so lucky she would spend so much time making such sweet dress for her. It is a definite keepsake. She even embroidered on the inside of the dress Chris and my names with the date that we got married. Then she put Precious child of God Taylee Karen Black and then the date she was born. It is so neat. My Mom is soooo talented! She looked so beautiful in the dress. I tried to get some good pictures of her in it. But seeing her in it in person is priceless. I had a hard time taking it off her at the end of the day. She just looked so sweet in it. Mason kept telling me all day long how pretty she was in her dress. It was so sweet. When he got up this morning he came over to Taylee and said in the sweetest voice "Taylee today is your really special day". It was so cute!

Overall it was a really neat day. We are so thankful to have her sweet little spirit in our family. She has definitely been so much fun and brings our family so much joy. We love her so much!!!

The Big 29

Saturday was Chris's birthday. He turned 29, only one more year til he turns the big 30. We had such a fun day celebrating with him. Mason has been talking about it for weeks and helping me plan his day. We woke up early (the kids and I) and had to decorate the house. Mason insisted that it was a must to have the house all decorated special for Daddy. So we decorated and let Chris sleep in and then made him homemade waffles for breakfast. After breakfast the kids couldn't wait any longer for him to open his presents. So we hung out and opened presents. I love how excited kids get about birthdays. As you get older it seems like it gets less exciting. So the kids made the day so much fun. We hung out and went to Cafe Rio for lunch. Then Chris got tickets and he and Mason went to the USU vs. UNLV football game. What a perfect end to the day. We couldn't believe that USU came here for their opening game and on his birthday. It just doesn't get any better than that.

It seems like I am always talking about our kids and I don't post very much about my amazing husband. I definitely got lucky when I married Chris. He is the most amazing father and husband. He always puts the kids and I first no matter what. He is the kind of guy who wakes up in the middle of the night to change all the diapers and help me with the kids. He cleans up the puke since I can't seem to stomach it. ( I am so lucky!!!!). He does all the baths and always has since Mason was born and still does to this day. To sum it up he is AMAZING DAD!!!! And it doesn't stop there he is an amazing husband. He makes me smile everyday and is always for there for me. He is my best friend and without a doubt the man I can't wait to spend eternity with!!!

Happy Birthday Chris We love you !!!
