My Friend Camden

Taylor got a new friend late Friday night when our friends Luke and Shannon gave birth to little Camden Paul! We went to the hospital on Saturday to meet Camden. Here he is...

Taylor and Camden

Brielle and Taylor...Brielle is Shannon's niece and she was pretty interested in checking out Taylor. It was cute to watch them look at each other!

Is there anything cuter...

than a baby in a robe??? Here's Taylor relaxing in her robe after a bath the other night!

She also drinks out of a bottle every night before bed. We are trying to get into a "routine" of sorts and so far it is going fairly well.

One month old...

and a big girl!!! We had our one month check up today and Taylor weighs 10 pounds and is 22 inches long...she is in the 75th percentile for both height and weight. I can't believe she has grown so much (and is a month old already). Now we are just working on sleeping in longer stretches at night! Here are a couple pics of our big girl!!

Easter Weekend

We took our first road trip this past weekend and went to Crown Point for Easter. Taylor did great in the car, barely making a sound both ways. We had a great time introducing Taylor to lots of friends and family!!

GO HOOSIERS!!!

We are heading to Crown Point this weekend for Grandpa Rick's annual March Madness party and Easter. Taylor had to make sure she had her IU gear (thanks Uncle Andy and Uncle David)on for the game tonight! Go Hoosiers!!!

She is even sporting her Nike booties.
I think she was just about to bust into an IU cheer!

March Madness

With the NCAA tournament starting today Taylor's loyalty is split at this time.... so here she is getting rested up for the Purdue vs. Baylor game today! Boiler Up!!!

Don't worry.....tomorrow's post will be much better!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

As you can see, Taylor has had a wild time celebrating St. Patrick's Day!

Looks like somebody had one too many green beers!
Day 2 (outfit #2)
Nap time....that is a yawn, not a yell!

Playtime

I set up Taylor's "gym" today for her to try out. She actually laid there and "played" for about 20 minutes. She mostly just checked herself out in the mirror!!!

This is her new favorite sleeping position...laying all sprawled out on top of a pillow. We like it because we can just hand the pillow to each other and she never wakes up!!

Bath Time!!!

We gave Taylor her first bath tonight and we are considering it a success (no crying at all)! She was real unsure about going in the water at first and tried hard to stay out by arching her back way up. After she was in though, she seemed to like it and even relaxed and kicked her leg over the side!!!

2 weeks

Taylor had her two week check up at the doctor on Friday and she now weighs 8 pounds!! She was supposed to be back at her birth weight (7 1/2 lbs.) so the doctor was pleased and said she was "perfect" (but we already knew that). Here she is at 2 weeks old!

Taylor is starting to stay awake a little bit more each day! hanging with mom
this is the life these animals are a little scary!!

she's a thumb sucker!

Out on the Town

We took our first trip out of the house Saturday night to go out to eat. Taylor was great, she slept the whole time!! Here she is all dressed and ready to go!

She was actually awake when we got home, so we tried a family picture. And I just think this one is cute!
