Lauren and Andriana

The 2 Taylor babies. They love each other so very much and are facinated with each other.  They both have huge cheeks on both ends of their bodies too!  Can't wait to see these two cousins grow into the best of friends!

Lose a tooth - Find a tooth!

Last week Dallin lost his first tooth (front bottom right).  He was so brave and determined to get that thing out!  I told him the roots had to be broken and to now start pushing back on the tooth instead of just forward.  He pushed the tooth back about 5 times and he looked at me and said, "Mom, it kindof tastes, like I'm bleeding."  I started cheering (mainly to stop him from crying because who likes to bleed, right?)!  He ran to the mirror and it was just hanging there.  This spurred him onward.  We got some thread, tied it around the root and he pulled that darn thing right out!  You can tell by his expression how proud he was of himself!

Not more than an hour after this exciting episode, Dallin says, "Mom, I see something white in Lauren's mouth."  What?  Could it be.  I ran over and sure enough the front bottom right tooth was coming up in her shiny red gums.  Now, I know why she has been drooling and chewing on everything she can find.  I was blindsided as both Dallin and Kiera were at least 9 months old when they got their first tooth.  I shuddered at my next thought of feeding a baby with a tooth.  Eeek!  Let's hope for the best!

How Lauren Beats the Heat

We purchased a Bebepod chair for her and she LOVES it. She thinks she is such a big girl. She mostly hangs out in her diaper after coming home from running errands. We all strip down to what we can to battle the heat, only Lauren is the cutest in her strip-down attire so we feature her...

Lauren Taylor!

We are so excited she is here!!!

Lauren Taylor

Born: March 5, 2010

Time: 4:58a.m.

Weight: 9 lbs. 1 oz.

Height: 19 1/2 inches long

She came out round and pink all over!  The first night home we wondered if we could handle her because she was up every 15 minutes until morning came and then slept all day.  The next night my milk came in and we realized that she was just starving.  She slept 6 hours that night and we instantly fell back in love with her!!  Since then there is very few nights that she doesn't wake only once.

She is loved by her brother and sister and they are constantly wanting to hold her.  Kiera anticipates her needs and gets whatever I need before I even ask her to help.  The other day I was talking to Lauren and saying, "I think you are getting hungry."  Kiera instantly jumped up and ran in the other room.  She came running in with the nursing pillow, my Newman's Ointment, and a burp rag.  I was amazed and how in tune she is!!  And feel so blessed to have such a great helper.

We hope that you enjoy some of the moments we have captured throughout the last couple of weeks.
