10 on Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!

Ok so I'm jumping on the wagon here with my other blogging photog friends and starting the 10 on Tuesday. Basically, 10 things going on in our lives at this moment in time.

1. Jaden is speaking mostly in full sentences now.

2. Jaden loves to say "I love you, Daddy" before bedtime. So sweet!

3. Taylor is getting better at sitting up, but still wobbly on her own. She sits well with a boppy pillow around her to catch her if she starts to wobble.

4. Taylor loves sweet potatoes and pears, but hates bananas.

5. Still no teeth for little T, but she's working on those top two! I can feel them, but they still haven't quite broken through, so she's waking a few times a night for her binky, and recently once to eat. Previously, she wasn't eating in the middle of the night, so it's not much fun, but she does sleep for a decent stretch after her bottle!

6. Jason says his new job is fairly easy, and he seems to like it. Other than having to be to work at 6am or 7am and sometimes not home until 7pm or later, he still has days where he's home early in te afternoon, so that's always nice!

7. I've been busy busy with photography, which is GREAT! I'm having a blast photographing all of these adorable little kiddos. I've had my fair share of One Year Olds lately, and they are so so fun!

8. Jaden loves the Wiggles. If that isn't any surprise to you. He could watch them ALL day long, but he is doing better at just letting it go when I tell him no more wiggles til "......." (usually before bed).

9. I am trying to figure out some possible way to get our FAMILY PHOTOS done! Yes, family photos. We have NO professional family photos. Not even from before Taylor was born. Only snapshots, and that is just not good enough for me. I've come to accept the fact that I probably WON'T loose a ton more weight, or look a great deal better than I do now- this is me, and if I still look the same in 5 years, I will regret not having family photos from when the kids were little. SO- yes we are doing them this year somehow (I need to find someone I trust with my camera who knows how to focus at least, and I will choose the settings, location, etc.) We will also use one for our Christmas cards.

10. I secretly love when Jaden wakes up in the middle of the night. He did last night, and it's about the only time the little booger lets me cuddle him, and it reminds me of those times when he was about Taylor's age. I love his age, I love HIM- sometimes though, it's nice to know you're still needed. He's not even 2 and a half yet, but I'm already feeling him use his independence against me. I'm sad!!

Terrible snapshots of the kids, but here ya go!

Thank you Grandma Shirley for my adorable outfit!


I love those pants!!
