Finally an update!

So at my cousin's bridal shower on Sunday, I attempted to have my other cousin, Amanda, take a photo of Taylor and I. Problem was, Taylor wasn't too into it, so this is the best we got!



Taylor is now 5 months old, and TEETHING. Surprisingly she did sleep through the night last night. I didn't have to get up and give her the binky once from midnight-9am! Well, give or take. The last couple of months she's whined for it at least 3-4 times per night. BUT she is constantly eating her hands and drooling like crazy (see above photo). I felt in her mouth last night, and sure enough, they haven't broke through, but I feel at least 2 teeth on the top and bottom in there getting ready to break through. We'll see how long it takes, as Jaden never broke a tooth until he was closer to 8 months or so, but I have a feeling Taylor will sooner than later! Time to bust out that baby tylenol!

And our little man. An attempt at a new photo of him is almost impossible these days, and the day I decided to try, he would NOT let go of that binky. Of course I could have ended up with a photo of a tantrum to show those terrible two's, but I went for the binky pic instead. Yep, my over 2 year old has a binky. And lately, it's been BAAAD. He will not let that thing out of his sight, though the previous months he only had it for bed and was just fine with that.

Jaden also needs a little trim, hopefully my mother-in-law has some time this weekend to trim it up for him. I am completely in love with this little guy. He cracks me up every day, is talking so much more now, and is getting pretty darn smart if you ask me. He does mix some words around on occasion, and my favorite is "Hold you" and "Rock you"... as in "hold me" and "rock me".

He has the "FIVE more minutes" down pat for watching TV before bed.

He told his doll (yes he has a 'baby') to "you sit there and watch me eat" the other night.

We need to really start working on the potty training. The first go-around failed, but here's to hoping the second time's the charm!

Oh, and he's addicted to socks. I try to get him to go barefoot in the house if he's hot, or like today has a slight fever (no other symptoms go figure?!) but nope, I put him in the crib for his nap and it's "sock ON?! sock ON!?" Little squirt.

I just *heart* him!

And I thought I should share miss T in her little sleeper and hat because the hat was way too small and this is the only time you will see her in her matching combo! I believe the hat was 0-6mo so I had to take a photo, even though she was NOT in the mood for my camera that day!

Well, thanks for looking! I hope to update with better photos and more stories soon! Have a great rest of the week everyone, and enjoy the rest of your summer, as it seems to be passing very quickly this year!
