Taylor's Laugh

I know I am probably starting to sound repetitive, but I just can't help it :) Taylor is growing up so fast and just loads of fun! She is turning out to be such a little character and loves to laugh, sing, and babble! Here are a few videos of her and her daddy playing.

Taylor's First Taste of Baby Food

We just started Taylor on the Plum Organic and Ella's Kitchen baby food, and she is loving it! I called the Doctor since she seemed to be hungry quite often, but when we would feed her she would spit up half if not more of her formula. The Doctor said that it could be that she was not feeling full after her feedings, but that to much formula was not settling well with her tummy, and that we should start her on baby food once a day just to break it up a little. She is now eating about half a pouch a day for lunch. She loves the peaches and the bananas! Taylor seems to be doing much better, but still spits up just a little every once in a while. Brad likes to remind me that it is just part of being a baby, and that I am just earning my mommy badges(the spit up all over me). Here are a few pictures of the first time we tried it. We have gotten much better since then, and have wizened up and bought a plastic wipe off bib.

Taylor @ 3 Months

Our little girl is growing like a weed! She is becoming more interactive and quite a bit of fun! She loves to spend time on her play mat from Grandpa and Grandma Howard, and when she is not on that she likes to sit in her bumbo and watch television or just hang out. Don't worry we have seen the recall on bumbos and have already called. She is such a busy little lady though, she is still sleeping through the night averaging about 8-10 hours a night. We put her down at about 11 PM and she sleeps until 9 or 10 AM. Since she sleeps through the night so well she tends to be awake most of the day. She has found a new love for anything she can get her hands on, including but not limited to my hair, toys, people's noses, jewelry, shirt collars, etc. She is very handsy and likes to always be holding onto something. Taylor has tremendous leg strength! When she kicks it hurts, and those little legs are always moving! We go back to the Doctor in September for her 4 month check up so I will have more of the statistical information then. Our sweet girl has been saying hi and yeah quite a bit, now whether it is intentional or not we aren't quite sure yet. We like to think so, but that could just be wishful thinking :) As for now we are just enjoying every minute of having our precious baby around. Here a few pictures of Taylor at 3 months.
