Taylor is 5 Months Old

Filed Under Church, Five Months Old- Taylor, Milestones, Sleep | 1 Comment

To my little Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Bear,

Oh I love you more each day. I think you are the cutest baby boy in the entire world. Your hair is starting to come in thicker (and it’s getting a lot lighter- you might be a blondie after all!) I love to run my hands through your fuzz, and kiss your sweet little head. You still sleep with Mommy every night. I am no longer stressed out about when I will get you out of my bed. I am just accepting it and enjoying it at this point. You will be all grown up soon enough, and I will miss these days. I love the way you stretch out next to me and make your little piglet sounds while you eat. Sometimes you dig your toes into my thigh though and that’s not my favorite. Right now you are laying on the boppy eating and clutching your little hands together. It looks like you are praying.

Speaking of hands- you are getting better at using them. You still can’t transfer objects from one hand to the other, but you can pick up toys more easily and of course you pop them right in your mouth. We have to be so careful with all the little pieces to Bailey’s toys! You also just started rolling from back to front three days ago. Then you get stuck on your tummy and do the frantic “swimming” on the floor until someone rescues you. You still can’t figure out how to flip back over. You are starting to sit up though, if we lean you forward on your hands for balance. You also enjoy your exersaucer for a little longer now. We just borrowed the Bumbo from Kelli but so far you are not a fan. I have a feeling you will like it better once we start feeding you in it!

A few of your 3-6 month outfits just fit now. You were small for so long and now you are growing like crazy it seems. You have gotten chubby and I love squeezing your legs. This is the only time in your life when it will be cute to have fat feet, so enjoy it. They are adorable! You are just over 15 pounds, so you’ve gained a little over a pound within the past month.

You also had your dedication ceremony at our church on your five month birthday, but that will get its own post. Just know that so many people love you and are praying for you and looking out for you. You are a very loved little boy. I can’t believe next time I write to you, you will be a half a year old.

xoxo

Mommy

Birthday Dinner at Red Robin

Filed Under Birthdays, Firsts, Milestones, One Month- Taylor, Restaurants, Three Years Old | 2 Comments

Bailey chose Red Robin for her birthday dinner. We let her choose from three different places (Mexican, Chic Fil A, or Red Robin) and I was so happy with her choice because I really wanted some campfire sauce and fries! The dinner was great and she really enjoyed them singing to her. I know I am way late with this but just wanted to document and share some pictures!

She LOVES wearing her crocs on the wrong feet. It kind of makes me crazy, but crocs in general make me crazy. And of course they are her FAVORITE shoes right now…

“Foofing” her fries to cool them off

And I haven’t forgotten about my sweet little man. He slept all the way through dinner, until we were waiting for our check. I’m pretty sure it was a miracle, because he just doesn’t do that. This picture was taken after we got home. He gave us his first beginnings of a real smile. A day I will always remember, for both of them. Her third birthday and his first smile.

First Smile

Filed Under Milestones, One Month- Taylor, This Rocks | 1 Comment

4/11/2010 Taylor smiled for the first time this morning! 7 1/2 weeks old. I have been waiting for this moment. It was not a full on cheesy grin, but definitely a happy little smirky smile. And the best part? Jonathon was holding him, and we were both talking to him, and he was looking at BOTH of us when he did it! I can’t wait for more of those little smiles. We’ll have to get a picture soon.

Happy 6 Week Birthday, Little Buddy

Filed Under Doctor Stuff, Milestones, One Month- Taylor, Weight | 1 Comment

Today Taylor is six weeks old! Time is absolutely flying by. Even faster than it did when Bailey was this age. He is doing a little better with letting me put him down (although still just for a minute or two at a time!) and he has also slept in his bed for about an hour or two the past few nights. Baby steps, right? I had my six week postpartum check today. Got the “green light” for all activities. Yikes. But that means I can get my gym membership in the next few weeks, which I am really looking forward to. Now I have to lose the weight from two babies since I never lost after Bailey! The nurses all passed Taylor around today and commented on how cute he is. My OB’s nurse also said, “Wow, he looks JUST like Bailey!” Anyone who really knows her can see the similarity between them. I love it.

This picture was taken yesterday after Taylor rolled from front to back FOUR TIMES on his own. The day before he was six weeks old. Looks like we might have another early mover…

Taylor is one month old!

Little Buddy,

I can’t believe you are a month old already. This month has flown by. It seems like we were in the hospital in another lifetime. I love having you here, even though I am so tired. I love your baby sounds and your baby smell. Your sister always says “Taylor is saying Eh Eh again Mommy!” You have big hands and strong fingers which you love to grip my finger with. You continue to be a great eater. You tolerate a lot from your sister and you seem to be a kind of easy going guy.

You have acquired the nickname Wuzzy (or Little Wuzz). Your sister keeps calling you potato. Usually at night you do one stretch in the bouncy seat, one in the sling, and then you come in bed with me for the last stretch. You are less frantic now when you are laying next to me and it has actually become pleasant. I enjoy snuggling with you in the morning, and watching you sleep. You have mastered rolling from your side to your stomach and you like sleeping on your tummy. I only let you do it when I’m in there with you though, because it makes me nervous!

Today you woke up and suddenly had baby acne. It wasn’t there yesterday– it literally appeared overnight. I know it’s just a phase but your skin was so beautiful and smooth. You’re still beautiful though. Right now as I type you are on my lap on the boppy. You’re half asleep and you keep alternating between smiling and sticking your lower lip out. Suddenly you are so much more aware and alert. Just within the last day or two- you look around at EVERYTHING so intently. You really make good eye contact now. You love to stare at the curtains in the living room. You have also been a little calmer during diaper changes and you have started to look at the doggies on the wall by your changing table. I just keep looking forward to the first time you smile at me!

I’m so glad you’re here. I didn’t believe that I could love another child this much. I just want to kiss your face all the time but then it wakes you up.

Love, Mommy

New Interests

Filed Under Big Sister, Books, Learning, Milestones, Names, Second Pregnancy, Siblings, This Rocks, Two and a half years old | 2 Comments

I know I have mentioned how Bailey is really into dressing up lately- not so much the actual princess dresses, but the tutu, wand, shoes, tiara, wings etc. The other night while I was out, Jonathon went in to check on her and she had taken her socks off and put on a pair of high heeled princess shoes to go to sleep. I scolded him for not getting a picture!

She is also really into “big girl books” with real pages. She looks at board books sometimes but has to be in the right mood. Her current favorite books are anything princess (Especially Cinderella!), Wocket in my Pocket, Where the Wild Things Are (she calls it “Wild Fings ARE”), Sneetches, Dora Visits the Dentist, and Berenstein Bears Big Honey Hunt. She used to like the Little Mermaid but we were at a friends house one day and the movie was on. She saw the part where Ursula turns back into the Sea Witch at the end and now all she says is, “I don’t like the bad lady!” and she won’t have anything to do with it anymore. We have to be really careful what she watches and what parts of the books we “edit” when we read because she has such a big imagination!

Another thing she loves is her new colored pencils. She likes to draw with them. She doesn’t like coloring books much anymore- she would rather draw her own pictures and have us draw/color with her on blank paper. I guess that’s a good thing because it gets her to be more creative. She also likes to pretend to wrap presents for us. Anytime she can find a piece of tissue paper or scrap paper she starts folding it around a small object and then brings us the present to open.

She has just started learning the “grownup names” of people in our family. I think it’s good that she knows what our real names are, including last names, in case she ever needs to get help or talk to another adult for some reason. We are also going to start working on a phone number soon. She can say her full name and we are starting to learn how to spell it. She really likes knowing what adults’ names are, and she knows not to use their names but for some reason thinks it’s fun just to know.

She loves talking about her baby brother, and talking to him while he’s inside me. She always tells him, “Hi, Baby _____ ______. I’m your big sister! I love you and I will take care of you.” She puts stickers on my tummy for him, and talks about how she will hold toys for him to look at and read books to him when he is too little to hold the toys by himself. I love to see her excitement about him.

WHY?

Filed Under Firsts, Milestones, Talking, Two Years Old | 3 Comments

I knew it was coming. Today for the first time Bailey asked “why?” Then proceeded to ask about a lot of things I told her to do or tried to explain to her. It’s so fun to see her mind working but seriously, I don’t know why to everything. Sometimes it’s just because I said so!

I want to remember-

Filed Under Milestones, Talking, Two Years Old | 2 Comments

Bailey is almost 29 months old. She says a lot of cute things right now. Things I never want to forget as she gets older and more careful about her speech.

“Brell-ella” =umbrella

“I too scary for fireworks” and “I too scary carousel” when she has been scared of fireworks (last night at a barbecue) and of the carousel at Grant’s Farm.

“Hmmm, let’s see… Ummm, maybe…” and taps her chin while she thinks. She must have seen this on one of her shows or something because it is SO exaggerated.

“Kenzie is my beshel friend!” I think it’s a combination of best and special

When I ask her if she wants to pee on the potty, she says “No Mommy, my too little!”

She still says she is the Big MISTER instead of big sister. No one really knows what she is trying to say but it makes me laugh every time.

She got a new doll and she named him Charlie. I don’t know where she came up with that name. She also named a stuffed animal Curly. Her two little dolls at Grammy’s are Susie and Amy. When she is done playing with Charlie she tends to drop him on his head.

“Let’s read it all together” when she wants to read with me.

In her bedtime prayer she is at that stage where she tries to list EVERYTHING she’s thankful for. It usually starts out “Thank you for Nana, and Papa, and Tiny, and Nana…” she always says Nana twice! Then she usually says thank you for her lunch (random) and “My game. My ANIMAL game.” Good thing she specifies so that God knows exactly which game she is thankful for… The other night she also said thank you for the letter Q. She told me once that Q is her favorite letter- too funny. Sometimes Jonathon and I are laughing so hard while she prays and we just try to keep it quiet so she can’t see us cracking up as we duck our heads below the edge of her bed.

“No change my diaper, mom.” Heard quite regularly.

“I love you, Mommy.” and “You so pretty, Mommy.” Those just melt my heart. I love this girl.

Bailey’s Big Girl Bed

Filed Under Milestones, Sleep, Twenty-three Months | 1 Comment

Oh I did not think I would be saying this any time soon. Bailey climbed out of her bed. I know, she’s almost two… but she used to LOVE her crib and never tried to get out. My girl is growing up! On Friday 4/10 at naptime she climbed out of her crib. She said, “Beelay fall. Crying.” Once Jonathon put her back in she was fine and slept there but then got out at the end of nap and knocked on her door to be let out.

Well, Friday night she wanted NOTHING to do with her crib and kept getting out so I had Jonathon take it apart. Thinking she would just sleep on the mattress on the floor. Then she cried and asked him to fix her crib, and completely freaked out over it. So he put the crib back together and took the front off so that it was like a toddler bed. After crying for a few minutes she went to sleep on her rug. Then Saturday at nap same thing, and I moved her onto the mattress on her floor. Saturday night same thing. Sunday she slept on the wooden part of the crib, the flat board the mattress rests on. Sunday night she willingly slept on the mattress. Monday nap she slept SITTING UP next to her crib with her head resting on the wooden part, for over an hour!

On Monday night we brought the toddler Dora bed home from my parents house to use. She got in it willingly and I sat next to her until she was pretty drowsy. I think she was just unsure about it and wanted some comfort with me there. Then today at nap she asked me to rock her and fell right asleep so I put her down. She is really doing pretty well in her bed so I think it’s just a matter of her getting used to falling asleep in it on a regular basis now.

Her crib is packed up in the storage room One more step toward being a big girl.

Nineteen Months

Bailey, Bailey, Bailey. HOW is my baby nineteen months old already? It’s funny now to call you Muffin. You seem so tall and unsquishy (except your cheeks) and you are so brave and spirited and just not much of a baby anymore. I still call you Muffie (and so does Daddy and Grammy) but you know your name is Bailey. If someone asks your name, you tell them “Bay-eee.” It’s so cute.

Your very favorite things to do now are coloring and watching tv. You always ask for either Ernie or Barney videos. I don’t know how you picked those two guys out of all the things you have seen. You don’t like to talk to strangers. Once you warm up to someone you are very chatty, though. We took you to a wedding reception last weekend and you decided the prayer was too long. You started saying Amen quite loudly, and repeatedly, during the prayer. You got a few laughs from people around us but Mommy was a little embarrassed. You also know that you are cute. If someone says the word cute or calls you cute, you give the biggest hammiest smile ever. You enjoy demonstrating your jumping skills. You can hop across a room pretty fast. When you run, you remind me of Phoebe from Friends. I will have to show you that episode sometime. She flails her arms and legs out all crazy to the sides.

Lately, we have been going to the Magic House and the early childhood center and the mall play area, and we have had some playdates and friends houses. You are happiest when you’re out and about. You don’t want to sit still unless it is to color. You don’t even want to sit on my lap to read at bedtime lately. You pretend to sit and read next to your nightlight and then suddenly, you throw your book back in the basket and make a run for the living room. You’re tried that trick several times now. Your language skills are taking off like crazy now. People can understand you even without me translating a lot of the time now. You have a happy, cheerful disposition and endless energy. You never cease to amaze me, frazzle me, surprise me, and you make me the happiest mommy in the world. I love you, Muffie Muff.

16 Months

Filed Under Into Everything, Milestones, Sixteen Months, Talking | 5 Comments

I have been getting bad about doing the monthly posts on time. Our lives are so busy and Bailey keeps us on our toes. She really is a little monkey. Anyway I just wanted to try to write down all of the things she is doing right now. I want to be able to look back and remember because I know a few years from now, someone will ask us when Bailey did something and I won’t remember. At least if the memories fade in my mind I can have them on my blog.

Her Fifteen Month Pictures, a little late as we still haven’t sent them out… oops…

She has figured out how to open all the cabinets/drawers etc so we had to install latches on EVERYTHING, which is annoying. Also, she turns the television on by herself, puts a dvd in the dvd player, turns it on, and sits down to watch a movie. Not even kidding. And if there’s already a tv on show instead, she actually knows how to press the source button (she found it on the back of the tv) and switch it to dvd. Gah. So now we have to keep the whole thing turned off in the back with a surge protector on-off switch.

One of the other things she really likes to get into is my makeup drawer. It has a latch but if she is in there with me while I’m doing my makeup, she likes to get the blush brush and pretend to put makeup on herself. It’s the only thing I’ll let her touch out of there. She figured out how to open my jewelry box (I used to keep it on the nightstand) and I caught her putting my good rings on all her fingers so that also got moved up higher. She also likes to stand on Mommy’s scale and it looks like she’s almost 23 pounds. Oh, and she likes to take her diaper off and pee on the floor. Which is lovely.

As far as physical stuff- she is running pretty fast and her feet swing out to the sides almost like a penguin. It’s the cutest. She also walks backwards and is working on jumping. On rare occasions she can get both feet off the ground at the same time for just a split second, but mostly it looks like she’s just bending her knees and picking one foot up. She can climb onto chairs and couches, and slide down off our bed. Her new thing is going up and down stairs “like a big girl” holding on the railing. She can do it herself but I have to be right next to her because sometimes she gets distracted and lets go to look around. She also is kicking a lot. If you put a ball on the ground she will run up to it and kick it while she runs. Our Parents as Teachers educator said she’s really coordinated. Jonathon wants her to play soccer

She knows most of her body parts and can point to them when asked- head, hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, tongue (sticks it out), teeth (chomps them to show you), fingers, tummy, belly button or be-bo, she will point to my neck but can’t find it on herself, foot, toes/pigs. The only body parts she actually says is “Eyyyyyyye” and “no” for nose.

Animals she can point out- bird, monkey, tiger, zebra, horse/nay nay, cow, duck, dog, cat, fish, frog, koala, giraffe, elephant, snake.

Makes noises for cow, horse, dog, cat, and snake. Oh and zebra, she has decided it also says “nay nay” which I think might be right…

Words she says regularly-
mama
dada
gah or mama-dada-mama (Grammy)
eye
no (nose)
no no no
nana (banana or Nana, her great grandma)
apple
cheesh (cheese)
fish
more
puh puh ssss (please)
book
baw (ball)
bird
buh!! (balloon, always said emphatically)
shoosh (shoes)
duh duh (Dora)
Mo (Elmo)
mm-vah (movie)
woo woo, or gee (doggy)
hi
rah rah rah (rock rock rock)
inkeeee (Pinky, her lovey)
up
buhbuh (bubbles)

She still signs occasionally for “more” or “I want that” or “all done” and she also will put her hands up and shrug her shoulders if you ask her where something is.

She loves putting together puzzles. She has several of those wooden puzzles where the pieces have the little knobs to hold them. She can dump them out and put them right back together. She has also recently started playing with legos and other blocks. She knows how to stick them together and loves to put them together and then take them apart again. We put away her Little People Zoo for a while so that she would play with something different for a while. Her favorite books right now are Goodnight Moon, Personal Penguin, The Little People Board Books, Where’s Elmo’s Blanket, and Baby’s First Words.

15 Months Old

Filed Under Fifteen Months, Milestones, Talking | 7 Comments

Bailey was actually 15 months old more like three weeks ago… but we got her pictures last week and I wanted to share.

She went to the doctor last week for a belated checkup. Everything was great. She is still in about the 30th percentile for height and weight, and I think 85th for head! She was 22 lbs 8 oz and 30 inches tall.

We told the doctor that she was still just getting a bedtime bottle, but since then we have been able to cut that one out. I had originally wanted to keep that bottle for a while longer (I didn’t want to force her to grow up too fast!) but then I realized after discussing it with the ped that it would be easier to get rid of it now, rather than later when she could put up more of a fight and remember it longer. I think Bailey eats well most days, but we decided to continue with Poly-Vi-Sol, only now without iron. Her iron test came out good- I think it was like 10.5 and she said anything above 9 was normal, 10-11 was average. Whatever that means. She had to get her finger stuck for that one and she didn’t even cry. My brave little toaster. She also had her chicken pox vaccine, and two other boosters of things she had before. Those made her cry, but she got over it pretty fast when Grammy got out the fruit snacks!

We also talked about developmental things. She is walking backwards, and climbing, and saying more than 5 words (which was the goal for her, I guess). She can also go up stairs upright while holding on to someone/something. The doctor said she should be able to point to at least one body part when we asked, and she was surprised when I told her that Bailey knows her head, hair, ears, eyes, mouth, tongue, teeth, fingers, belly button, feet, and toes! She said that cognitively and socially, she is well ahead of what they expect at 15 months and that her 18 month appointment she will probably be meeting some of the two year old milestones. That made for a very proud mama

Here are her most recent new words:
apple
more
ah duh (all done)
no no no no no
nay nay (horse)
geeeeeeeesh (geese, at Grant’s Farm)
cheesh (cheese, said for the first time during 15 month photo shoot!)
rah rah rah (rock rock rock, for dollies or when we’re in the rocking chair)
mm-vah (movie)
deedle deedle deedle ??

That’s all I can think of now. I need to keep a list going while we are playing because her vocabulary just seems like it’s exploding lately. It’s so much fun! Lots of her words, you wouldn’t understand if you weren’t with her all the time or didn’t have a translator, but she definitely has specific words now and uses them in the right context.

Glistening In the Sun

Filed Under Fourteen Months, Milestones | 6 Comments

A few weeks ago Bailey and I were in the car, stopped at a light. I don’t remember if she was taking to me or what but I turned around and looked at her, and noticed- she had little leg hairs glistening in the sunlight! Leg hairs! She was not born with leg hair but I guess she is getting to be less baby now and more toddler because sure enough, they are growing. She doesn’t have arm hair yet at all though.

UPDATED to add: I paint Bailey’s toenails in her highchair during dinner. I use OPI polish (not linking to their website because they have virus issues). The polish doesn’t chip, it just kind of wears off after a while. Sometimes it tickles and she wiggles her feet, but she can’t grab them until after they are dry. I usually do just one coat. Even if the polish gets on her skin, it washes off in the tub. (That’s why I do it during dinner, lol)… I keep her toenails painted most of the time now

Almost 13 Month Evaluation (lots of bragging here)

Filed Under Milestones, Parents as Teachers, Talking, Twelve Months | 6 Comments

Today Bailey had her (almost) 13 month evaluation by our Parents as Teachers lady. They use the Denver Developmental Screening. For her, they used the 12 to 14 month range test. She rocked it!

She got the highest scores possible in all categories except fine motor (doesn’t place an object back on the ground when she’s finished; she just drops it, and doesn’t roll a ball). The PAT Lady (we’ll call her Alice) was very impressed by other things she’s doing that weren’t on the test, too. She said her communication and problem solving skills were great. Which I didn’t even realize. I guess I should be documenting this.

Bailey can “label” a lot of objects and can point out the following things:  Sconce, light, painting, balloon, kitchen, book, ball, doggie, baby, lion, there are probably a lot more that I’m not thinking of right now but those are the ones we did today.

She knows and points to quite a few body parts: Eyes, nose (for the first time today!), mouth, tongue (sticks it out and wiggles it), hair, toes, sometimes tummy.

She can take off her own socks and put her arms through the sleeves on her shirt.

She says: Mama, Dada, buh (balloon), goggie, woof, rrrrrr (roaring when she sees a picture of a lion), up

Signs for more, please, and all done. Waves hello/bye bye and claps. Points to objects, raises arms to be picked up, good use of pincer grasp to pick up little fuzzes and stuff, can imitate things like dumping out a jar, object permanence, bangs two objects together.

Follows simple commands without seeing gestures, like if we say, “Bailey, bring me your shoes” she will do it… if she’s in the mood that is…

Also she still loves to read and can turn the pages of books and point out objects in books. I mentioned that she has two favorite books right now that she always takes off the shelf and brings to use first, and Alice said that it was early to be showing preferences for stuff like that…. i don’t know if I entirely believe that because I think a lot of babies have preferences and likes/dislikes.

Overall, she said she was “very impressed and we are seeing lots of good things from Bailey.” There were not any concerns! Woo hoo!

Such a big girl!

Filed Under Milestones, Ten Months | 6 Comments

I can’t believe all the new developments! Yesterday she was really showing off some of her new skills and I managed to get a few pictures. Plus some snot.

Chatting on the phone- she loves to walk around with the phone and either say “Haaaaaaaaa” and hold it on her shoulder, or press all the buttons.

She has figured out how to play the xylophone

Continues to love to read…upside down…

And her most exciting accomplishment- walking! She would rather walk than crawl, now. She can also get to standing without pulling up on anything, WHILE holding a toy! She can read a book standing up, and she can bend over to pick something up without falling- sometimes. Way to go, Bailey
