Happy Easter!!!

2009-04-14T15:13:00.005-04:00

We hope everyone had a Happy Easter. Sierra had a great time, we went to my mom's house and enjoyed an early dinner with her great-grandparents and nana. The weekend before we celebrated Easter with a Taylor Family reunion.

Some of the Taylor Family 2009

Just a few minutes before the tulip was destroyed!!

Wow...a post-i know!!!
Putting up a few pictures to keep it updated. A lot has changed since the last post back in October. Sierra has been on the move, crawling around the whole house and trying to maintain her balance to put one foot after the other. She can walk with a little help from our hands up above her. She loves to eat big girl food now with whole milk. Her favorite food would definitley have to be grilled chz, green beans, vienna sausages, and ANY kind of fruit!!!

Here I am eating my yummy grilled chz sandwich my daddy made for me...yum yum!!

When she see's her daddy walk in the door, she goes straight to him, most definitley a Daddy's girl!!!

She knows when her bathtub is running, every night we'll go run her a bath and she stops what she's doing crawls back there and patiently waits in this position to get in the tub and watches the water running.

We are also in our big girl carseat and she LOVES it!! Every morning on the way to daycare she looks out of all the windows and just smiles and laughs!!! So thanks for viewing our newly updated blog post. We promise we won't hold off much longer to post again!!! everyone have a happy easter!!!

tooth time!!!

2008-10-14T15:14:00.004-04:00

Well, it's official!! Sierra got her first tooth already(bottom right)! I went to the babysitter on Thursday to pick her up and since she was just getting over her sickness, I thought i saw a trace of spit-up in her mouth. I went to wipe it out and it was a rough white spot instead!! This explains all the increase of drooling over the weeks, but i really had no idea she was teething already. I'm so proud of her she handled the pain great!! But I did shed a tear leaving the babysitters, my little girl is just growing up WAY to fast!!

Holland & Sierra

Wow, Holland is growing up so fast! I can't believe she is already mobile, it feels like just yesterday she was coming over for Thanksgiving at a week old! They all grow up so fast!!

Holland wanted Sierra to get down on the floor and play with her!!

Grandma had her hands full here

Sierra just loves to play with all her cousins. Can't wait to see you all again soon!!

a weekend @ mal-mal's

2008-10-14T14:36:00.007-04:00

Yes, I agree Labor Day had been a long, long time ago but that is when we took our trip to Amy & Eric's. We had such a blast! The girls are just growing up way to fast! Mallory was rolling all over the place, we couldn't keep up with her and Sierra was just mesmerized and laughing at Mal

they look like twins right here looking at the toys

Uncle Eric was dancing to the music right before bed and Sierra was cracking up!!

Don't worry Eric i didn't put the video on here

our little girls are just getting so big

When Eric was playing his guitar they just kept their eyes on him the entire time!!

bright eyes

There has been a terrible cold virus around Cairo. At first chris got, then i scrubbed and scrubbed the house HOPING neither of us would get it, then me and Sierra got at the same time. Unfortunately, sierra had it much longer than either me or chris, but thank goodness she's all better now. I want to thank Mrs. Kathy for all the help over the week that we were sick, so so much help, thank you! So now after every one has gotten better i've returned to work and Sierra returned to daycare.
