Taylor took her first bottle on 12-16, while mommy was out to dinner with friends!

First visit to Uncle Eric & Aunt Krystle's on 12-19 to celebrate mom's, Uncle Eric's, and Aunt Kim's birthdays (all in December!). Grandma and Grandpa couldn't stop kissing her!

Hello everyone! I can't believe it's been over three weeks since my last post - Taylor has certainly been keeping me busy!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

So much has happened since my last post! Taylor took her first bottle on 12-16, which went great! She has since been taking one every other day or so. We visited Uncle Eric and Aunt Krystle on 12-19, which was her first real visit out! She did great in the car, and was very social with the family!

On 12-23 Taylor had her 1 month checkup. She was 9lb 3oz. at that point, and measured in at 22 inches long. She is in the 84th percentile for height, the 54th percentile for weight, and the 34th percentile for head size. We took her to the doctor on Monday 1/4 and she is now 10lb. 4oz. Our girl is completely healthy!

We spent Christmas Eve visiting family on both sides. We spent the afternoon at Aunt Maureen's, visiting with Cheryl's side of the family, and the evening at Grandma and Grandpa Pavelka's, visiting Sam's side. We had a great time at both, and are glad that Taylor got to meet many of her relatives!

On New Year's Eve, Grandma and Grandpa Forst came to babysit, and Sam and I got to get out for a nice dinner! It was wonderful! We spent the rest of the evening at the neighbors and had a great time. Taylor slept through most of it, although she did wake briefly to be social!

It's been a busy few weeks, and Taylor has grown a lot! She can keep her head up for longer periods of time, and she will smile in response to your smile (which is mom and dad's favorite!!). She has moved from the bassinet to the crib in her own room, which has been a rough transition. She is getting used to it though, and slept pretty well in her crib last night! She also has had a cold in the past couple of days, which has made her slightly uncomfortable. Overall, she is a very easy-going baby, and is a joy to have around!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!
