It's almost time....

Taylor is 11 weeks old this week...which means it's almost time for me to go back to work. (Sigh). This is going to be a hard transition, but I just keep focusing on how wonderful it is going to be to pick her up after work, and that summer break is only 5 weeks away! I think Taylor and I can make it 5 weeks!

At 11 weeks, we have such a talkative girl!! It is fun to be able to tell that Taylor really recognizes familiar things - when we are home she is quite animated compared to when we are out, and the past few evenings, she has just been a happy, little chatterbox (well, lots of cooing, gurgling and squealing :-)). We have switched to size 2 diapers, and I have spent a lot of time cleaning out her drawers of all the clothes that don't fit her anymore - it's a little sad to look at all her newborn things, and think of how much she has grown already!! Our "little" 2 and 1/2 month old is wearing some 6 month clothing now! My goodness do these early weeks go quickly, especially when she is changing so much daily.

Pictures!!

The highlight of this past week has been Tulip Time!

Walking in downtown Holland - Taylor likes to face out now in the Baby Bjorn and see what is going on!


Spring has definitely sprung in Holland - lots of flowers and blooming trees...



Smelling the tulips :-)


Taylor with her little buddy, Brady....I LOVE pictures of these two together, so sweet! Brady always smiles at Taylor, and Taylor just stares at Brady...so sweet!!
Their eyes meet....



The family with the tulips

Hanging out with daddy after he got home from work (hanging out on our bed brings out a very happy, talkative little girl...Taylor loves playtime on our bed, maybe it is the cozy, soft, warm down comforter :-))



Taylor all ready for bed...does she look sleepy? :-)

Wearing her first pair of blue jeans (thanks uncle paul and aunt mary-margaret!)
Blessed to be able to spend my days with this little cutie! :-)
