Intro

Taylor Paige is my amazing little girl. She was born on October 24 2009. She weighed in at 7lbs 14.2oz and was 19.5inches long!

She is my absolute world and I couldn't imagine life without her.

She is now 6 months old and getting so big and hitting so many milestones that I decided a blog would be a great way to share the milestones and updates as well as keep them recorded for myself.

Taylor has been sitting up unsupported since she was just under 5 months and has been teething since she was about 2.5 months. Her two bottom teeth are visible but not quite there, any day now!

She does not like to be on her tummy and will either roll over (started at 4.5 months) or scream at me until I move her so we don't have much progress in the crawling department, however she LOVES to stand and she is moving her legs like she's going to get up and walk at any moment!

Taylor has been exclusively breastfed up until monday 4/19/10 when we started introducing foods. We tried rice cereal for a few days and she did not care for it at all! She loved my cream of wheat so we switched to that. We tried squash on 4/25 and she also loved it! Technically though, her first food was sherbert, I started sharing with her at about 4.5 months because her gums were hurting and the cold spoon helped.

Tayor has always been a talker! She very rarely cried as a newborn, but would "talk" even in her sleep, now she babbles all the time. She is learning new sounds everyday and LOVES to copy simple sounds that myself or my husband make.

Recently, she has started to throw little fits that I can only describe as temper tantrums. If I take her toy or make her stop playing for whatever reason or even if I walk away when she wants me, or she's fighting sleep but losing, she will yell, arch her back and throw a fit. They usually only last about a minute or two and I'll just leave her be until she's finished. If I'm holding her when she does this I'll put her down until she stops.

Taylor is a big girl, she's already wearing size 9 month clothes in most brands/styles. She has her 6 month check up tomorrow and I'm anxious to see how big she is, at her 4 month check up she was 15lbs and only 3 weeks later she was 16lbs 4oz, she grows fast!
