Taylor Blossoms




I've been so consumed by sleep lately that I've completely skipped so many amazing things that little Taylor is doing now.

1st off...she's eating solids. We started Sat. Oct 14th and have been doing a little each day. She wasn't too thrilled with Rice cereal so we're onto banannas. Her face was priceless at first and then she opened wide for more and more once she got used to the new flavor.

2nd- she is having so much fun playing by herself lately in many different positions. We have a Baby Bumbo seater (I HIGHLY rec. this to all new moms) which helps her sit up straight and watch Ana play. She loves this. Her new all time favorite is the exersaucer. It's quite amazing how much fun she has with it and how purposefully she hits the animal sound buttons over and over again to hear the sounds. She also is trying so hard to roll over without assistance from her back to her tummy. It's so fun to sit and watch her.

3rd- she's beginning to really like to be read to. Goodnight Moon is by far her favorite. She sits up on my lap and grabs at the pages pushing them and "turning them".

Justin and I comment everyday how much she is doing and playing with her toys. She is even starting to hold her bottle with 2 hands and tipping it into her mouth adjusting her head and hands to get the nipple in. She can get it in, but can't get a suction yet. She is so intense and just tried and tries and tries, yelling violently at herself when she can't get it, but keeps trying!

(side note.....she just fell asleep during tummy time...THIS IS FABULOUS! She usually HATES tummy time...oh how precious!)
