All about Tay :)

This is one of my favorite stages! Taylor has been so much fun lately. She has started to roll over from her tummy to her back, since she hates being on her tummy she had to figure out how to get out of it. She has also been holding her toes a lot lately too. She had her real first little giggle about a week ago... of course it was Whit that made her laugh, I couldn't no matter how hard I tried but it was so funny, Whit just kept pretending he was eating her legs or her feet. Now she has been doing it a lot more. I love it. She really loves to look at herself in the mirror too. Yesterday I was sitting on the couch (and we have a mirror above our couch) and I could not get her to stop crying so I held her up so she could see herself in the mirror and she immediately stopped and got this big grin on her face! When I brought her back down and she couldn't see herself anymore she started to cry again so I lifted her back up again and she smiled again! I repeated this over and over and everytime was the same thing but I didn't even mind that she was crying because the big grin on her face made up for it.

Fun Times

So this is my poor little boy! Notice the picture above... his perfectly rounded teeth, and then the picture below they are a little Jagged :( I was carrying Whit up the stairs to bed and my clumsy self tripped up the stairs and smashed his little teeth. I felt so bad! Atleast they will only be like that for a few years, Right?!
Anyway, on to the fun things...
We got to make a little vacation down to Virginia beach a couple of weeks ago and since it is a 2-3 hour drive we decided to spend the night in a hotel so we could have more beach time. The hotel wasn't too nice but it was right on the beach. We had a blast. It was so great to be able to have some good family time finally! And now that Jake only has clinic in the summer we have been able to spend a lot more time together. The kids and I really enjoy having Daddy home!


I love the look on her face right here! She loved the beach, mostly slept through it all.

Yeah, Swimsuit time!

I got this little pool out to fill up, but I guess they don't even need water. Pillows and blankets are just as good! Whit played in here for so long, but he really wanted Taylor and I to join him. So we all got to play in the pool in the nice air conditoned house. It was perfect!!

"Cute Kids"

These are two cute kids if you ask me!! I must be the Mom. Even though they are so cute it sure is hard to get a good smile out of them together. Maybe somewhere in all these shots their is a smile from them both. I can already tell they love each other so much. Whit is always bringing her toys and just wants to play with her all the time. And Taylor is always watching him. Her eyes are constantly following everywhere Whit goes... which is all over the place.





I still haven't really got her to laugh yet, maybe once. Hopefully Jake can help me get her to laugh a little more. She has started to roll over from her tummy to her back though, not everytime yet so it makes her so mad when she can't do it!

Like Father Like Son

Whit already loves to play golf like Daddy. He is pretty cute when he plays. I wish I could get a longer video, but every time I turn the camera on he just wants to look at the pictures.

Outer Banks Spring Break

We were able to go to Outer Banks, NC again for spring break. It was so much fun. I just love the beach even if it is to cold to get in the water. The weather was actually pretty nice. For the first half of the week it was in the 70's and sunny. Perfect for playing on the beach and digging in the sand, which is Jake and Whits favorite thing together. I think this is absolutely the cutesst smile I have ever seen Whit do! He must really love the Beach.



Whit had so much fun playing in this pond of water left from the tide, in the middle it went up to about his knees so he just kept running back and forth.
Yes... Even a few of us dared to run in/run out of the freezing cold water.
We also had a blast playing guitar hero "Rock Band" Jake did a great job singing!
And of course Whit had so much fun with all his friends for a whole week.
Taylor was such a trooper on the beach. I have this little travel bed that she just slept in most of the time.

Taylor's Baby Blessing

Taylor was Blessed on March 1st (2 months old). She wore the same dress that I was blessed in, and she looked just Beautiful. Jake did a great job too.






I love you Taylor. You are our sweet Angel.

Only Snow Day!!

On March 1st it actually snowed about 7 inches here in Richmond. It doesn't really snow here, the couple times it has it melts within a few hours. But this was awesome. Jake didn't even have to go to school the next day, and Tay's dr. apt. got cancelled. So we all went sledding except Taylor stayed warm and bundled in the stroller.

Whit didn't really like the snow, he didn't want to walk in it. He just kept saying, "Hold you!" But he loved to watch it snow from inside.
My sweet little girl just slept through it all, she didn't even mind the cold.
