4 Months Old!!!

Our little girl is growing by the day, she continues to amaze us with what she can do!!! This week has been a whirlwind of a week and I will get back in the swing next week of writing on here. Justin started his new job and school, and I had Back to School night this week so we have not been home much at all. I have some great pictures of Taegan, but I am at school and can't load them here. I will get them on there this weekend!!! For now I will leave you with a website to check her 3 month pictures we had taken!!!! Enjoy them...

What a cute little girl!!!

Pictures!

I LOVE my feet-they are so cool!




Can you believe that I held this all by myself
without Mom's help? I am pretty good!






What a funny Dad-we laugh a lot!



Daisy is my new friend, I tell her all sorts of
stories. She loves listening to me and loves it
when I drool on her.



This is what happens when Dad puts his finger
in my mouth-YUCK!



I love helping Mom make dinner.




You wish you had a Spa chair for your bath...

Can't believe it...

It has been two weeks since I headed back here to school and left my little girl. The transition really has gone very smooth and she is really settling in at daycare. She smiles in the mornings when I drop her off and hand her to Jeanette. She is eager to see me when I pick her up and she is sleeping much better for Jeanette. The hard part for me has been the weekends. I just get used to being home with her and I have to leave her on Monday-not the fun part. Part of me is heartbroke that I am not able to be a stay at home mom. But the other part of me is very glad that I have normalcy in a job that keeps me grounded. It is nice to be able to get out of the house and interact with adults. I love teaching and my kids are great this year, but it is still hard knowing that I would love to be at home. That is not a possibility and I am doing my best to put that out of my mind, but it haunts me every once in a while.
I can't believe how much she continues to change and inspire Justin and I. We laugh so much with her and love seeing all the new things she can do. It really is neat to see her changes. This morning she discovered how to pull the bottle in and out of her mouth!!! Needless to say breakfast this morning took much longer than normal. We will see how dinner goes. She also continues to do anything she can to get her feet in her hands. I have not been able to paint her little toes because she is always playing with her feet. I will post pictures tonight.

Another BIG step

Taegan started daycare yesterday and it was a trying day for MOM! I cried the entire way to school after I dropped her off. I was okay once I arrived at school, but it was real hard leaving her. I got out of meetings at 9:30 and came back to my desk to find an email from Taegan!!! WOW-it was the cutest thing I have ever seen. She was telling me all about her morning and about "this lady that is all over her"!! (Her babysitter, Jeanette). It really was a huge pick me up that morning. I was able to go see her over lunch and feed her! She did wonderful and had a great night last night with Dad while I had Meet the Teacher night at school.

Kids come tomorrow and I think I am ready for them! We will soon find out. I will post more tomorrow after school and give you some more cute pictures of Miss Thing!

We all Made it!!!

I can't believe that I have been back to school for three days. This week was not that bad because Taegan has been spending the days with her two grandmas and her wonderful godmother Amy! So I was not very sad leaving her with them. I am however very nervous for Monday. That will be her first day at daycare and it makes me sad. Taegan has seemed a little off schedule a bit because each day she has been somewhere different and I hope that once she gets set at daycare she will be better. She has not been bad-just a little out of sorts. We shall see what next week holds for her.

She had a great morning today. We tried some cereal with her and she was so funny! We could not stop laughing it was so cute. She had some trouble with the spoon thing but once we could get it in her mouth she seemed to like it! She would attack the spoon like she does her bottle and the cereal would miss her mouth completely. I am not sure of how often we will feed her this, we just felt like trying it this morning to see how she would do with it! She be interesting when she can start it full time! Here is a picture of her being a big girl eating off the spoon-getting so big so fast!

Birthday and Back to school

We celebrated my birthday on July 30th by going out to dinner just the three of us! Taegan did great at dinner and was impressing everyone around us with her new talk. She just loves showing off her voice and letting people around her see how big she is getting. I just enjoy sitting back and listening to her-she loves to talk and then smile at you. I am afraid we are going to have quite a talker when she can actually talk. Dad is not sure how he feels about that yet! Here is a picture of Taegan and I as we were heading out to dinner.

As you can tell from the picture she still continues to eat just fine and is getting to be a little chunk! We love all of her little rolls-they are SO cute.

I am heading back to school tomorrow at 8am. I can't believe that three months have come and gone already. It seems like just yesterday I was saying goodbye to my class at school on April 24th and going home to start the waiting game for little Miss Taegan. So much has changed from that day and I am in shock that it is all changing again tomorrow. Am I ready for this change?? Don't think so-not quite yet. Do I have a choice? NOT AT ALL!!!!!!! That is the crummy part. She will be staying with Grandma Becky tomorrow, Aunt Amy Thursday, and my mom on Friday. On Monday she will start daycare. That will be another rough day for me as well. I will let you know tomorrow night how the day went-not looking for it to be a great one.

On a happier note, Taegan gets her three month pictures taken tonight:) I can't wait to see how she does with them tonight. She has some real cute outfits for the pictures!!! Here is my precious girl asleep in my arms.
