10 on Tuesday

I came to blog these pictures of the kids from yesterday, and almost forgot that it's Tuesday! So- here's our 10 on Tuesday:

1. Taylor is on her belly all day long it seems. If you put her down sitting, she'll just plop right now on her belly. After awhile, she gets bored and wants back up- one minute later, she's right back on her belly. This girl wants to be moving- but she just can't for the life of her figure out HOW! (which I'm ok with for a few more weeks but we're going to be getting more agressive here before her birthday at least with crawling!)


2. Jaden lets me take his picture now! If he sees the camera, or I take it out for something, he'll keep bugging me to "Take my piter Mommy!" FINALLY! Enjoy the cuteness again!

3. I'm getting my new camera in a month or two here- I'm so excited! I outgrew my Rebel about a year ago. Luckily I booked a wedding, so not only paying for about half of my camera, it gives me insentive to go ahead and upgrade this spring before the wedding! Indoor pictures should be much better now!



4. Taylor seems to be getting taller, and finally thinning out "slightly." She's moving onto 12 month sizes, so I'm excited to go spring clothes shopping for her (and Jaden but t-shirts aren't as fun as girly clothes!) in a month or 2.

5. Taylor loves to stand up against the ottoman now. She doesn't fall too often, and thinks she's pretty cool to lean up against it and eat her cheerios.



6. Jaden cracked me up the other day. He had his giraffe chair out in the family room by the window. He as on the opposite side of the ottoman, and Taylor was napping. I think this was when he woke up from his nap. He peeked over and asked me if that was Taylor? He was so serious and I couldn't figure out what he was talking about... then i saw the 2 little furry "ears" of the giraffe peeking up over the ottoman. He thought it was Tay's pigtails. haha. (Maybe you had to be there)




7. Taylor's birthday is in less than 3 weeks now... I'm sad! I'm excited for Spring though, for Taylor to be walking, for the kids to be able to "play together" a little better outside in the yard since she'll be walking and wanting to play more.



8. Jaden is learning to pick up his own toys. We had a few arguments today about that. Mommy is sick of picking up piles and piles and PILES of toys when he decides to dump every basket of toys he owns at the same time all over the floor- enough is enough.



9. Taylor is pretty much sleeping through the night- with NO swing. yay! She loves that glow worm though! She goes down in the crib, gets coverd up, gets her blanky and then we turn the glow worm on and I walk out. The last 2 nights I haven't heard a peep, and not even at her nap today. Way to go Tay!



10. Taylor can dance. She just bounces up and down really, but it's hilarious!



Nothing else new here. Hope everyone is having a great week! Jaden and Taylor say "Hi!"

Happy Wednesday!

Just a few new pictures today. Taylor got a new bow, and Jaden wanted in on a couple pictures. We're off to do laundry and a few other things. Happy Wednesday!















10 on Tuesday/Wednesday

As it's after midnight, but barely, I'm still counting this as Tuesday!

1. Jaden is now letting me take his picture more often... but the problem is, he doesn't actually look at me much, but as soon as I put the lens cap on, he's telling me to take his picture again!


2. The kids' pictures have been submitted to the Regis and Kelly contest- I knew I'd forget about it if I waited longer. We'll see if they at least get their pictures aired. (No, the picture I submitted for Jaden isn't in this post, sorry!)


3. Taylor has her first tooth! (on the bottom) at just over 11 months old. FINALLY!


4. Jaden no longer likes the Wiggles much- but now, of course, Taylor is obsessed. If she's cranky, just turn on the Wiggles and she stares at it the entire time it's on, and "dances" with it. It's too cute!


5. I booked a wedding for April that I'm pretty excited for! (and also upgrading my camera in March, too!)


6. I have a book addiction- I've only read about 4 that are on this bookshelf. Looks like I'd better get to reading! In my defense- they're almost all used books, and it's nice not to have a due-date at the library!


7. We (aka Jason) finally painted the bedroom. No more white walls! Now we've just got that darn yellow bathroom this spring to do.



8. Taylor wants to be on the move so badly, and it surprises me that she isn't crawling yet at 11 months! She's constantly going from sitting to down on her belly, will twist around or roll, but not CRAWL! (I had to admit, I'm enjoying every last day I have of her being immobile though!)



9. Jaden: "I have to get my jacket on and get to Grandma's house REALLY QUICK!"
This kid cracks us up.


10. Taylor is FINALLY getting baptized in February! Sorry so late, guys!

11 months old...

So Taylor officially turned 11 months old today. Mommy is a little sad thinking that Tay is only a baby for one more month. =( She's as cute as ever though, and cracks us up all day long.



So serious


All smiles


Aw little ballerina!


Tay's Birthday Dress. We were trying to get a picture for her invites that I have to order next week sometime (already!) to get them out 2 weeks before the party.


Hugs


How cute are they?


Being silly



Sorry for being so terrible about blogging lately- I finally got photoshop on my new computer so I'm slowly moving over with the photos!
