Zoo


Well, I am sad but happy at the same time. As it turns out thanks to blogger I still have a few of the videos of Taylor. The extra drive we put them all on completely crashed, so we lost them all. But I think I posted the best ones that I had of her anyway.

Well, for Jerry and mine's 6th anniversary we took Taylor to the zoo. It was fun. The animals that were close up and big she defiantly saw them and pointed them out. It was good to finally take her. It made for great memories. When we got to the jaguar's cage he/she was running all over the place and running up it's tree branch and everything. Taylor loved watching it run all over the place. She kept pointing and saying her favorite word, bear. Just before we left it's cage it started calling or hissing or what ever the noise it is it makes. It was loud, but made for a great memory. I also got to take Taylor in the petting zoo part and she didn't freak out over the goats like she did at Mother Natures Farm. I guess going and seeing the horses at my barn helped her not be so afraid. She is still leary, but isn't as scared. She really likes watching the horses.

Christy's Etys Store



Well, with the economy being so hard on us financially, Jerry lost the little bit of over time he had once again. So with that in mind I am always trying to find ways to make a little extra cash. I work for my dad, but during non-tax season times of the year I don't have very much work. I tried PartyLite, but not to much success. I am still able to sell it, but stopped trying to have parties. It's too hard being the consultant and the hostess to a party. But now I have decided to try something new, something I have wanted to do for a while, sell hand made stuff (jewelry.) I have never known how to sell it until recently. I just learned about etsy.com. They are a website for people like me to sell my handmade stuff. So with the jewlery I had made not long ago I opened a store and I am selling the stuff I made some time ago. Plus I have also decided to make clips for little girls hair too. I just want to let all my friends and family know about my store to help me get started on selling on the site. My stores page is princessandq.etsy.com. So come and check it out and see what I have for sale. I hope you find things that you like.

She is now on to learning to walk. she had taken quiet a few steps all by herself. In fact, yesterday she stood up for the first time all by herself. After standing she took a few steps. She is growing up so fast!!!

6 month photos




Taylor is now seven and a half months old. She is trying so hard to figure out the crawling thing. She basically scoots backwards. Although yesterday she was on all fours and went backward one whole crawl step and staid on all fours. Its been fun. I can't believe how fast she is growing. Well, I have been meaning to post her six month photos, but our computer crashed. so here I am trying to do so now. So here are a few. I will post more later when I have time to make them small enough. The lady that did our wedding photos did Taylor's six month photos. She is so awesome. Enjoy!

Taylor is doing great


So Taylor is doing good. The doctor thinks she had a virus that caused her to throw up and he said that it fits that it sent her to the hospital. He believes it to have been hepatitis. He said it is normal to have hep and end up in the hospital. We have one more test to have done to be sure there isn't anything else that could be causing her enzymes to have gone up instead of a virus. But he is confident that she is fine, but doesn't want to miss anything, just in case. So that is the latest with our little booger!

So Taylor had a very adventurous week. It was scary for Jerry and I, but God protected all of us. Well, I went to BSF on Monday night, so Jerry fed Taylor a bottle and put her to bed. When I got home I noticed in the monitor that she was awake, but not fussing. I wasn't thrilled with where she was laying. So before we went to bed I decided to check on her and maybe move her. When I went in there I reached in to move her and found that she was soaking wet. Instantly I realized that she had thrown up. I called Jerry in to help me get her cleaned up and get the bed sheets changed. While I got a bath ready Jerry told me when I came back that she had been trying to throw up again. She just kept dry heaving. As I gave her a bath we started to notice how pail she was. She wasn't crying, just sitting there so content. But we knew she wasn't feeling well. After getting her out of the bath we decided to call the 24 hour nurse. She suggested calling 911 and having an emt look at her and evaluate whether she should go to the hospital. When they got there they put oxygen on her right away. it helped a bit, but not enough. She didn't even flinch when the pocked her foot to test her blood sugar. So they decided to take her in. From what the hospital said they think she had a virus, according to the findings in the blood test. But thankfully she didn't throw up again once they got the iv in her. She came home yesterday, Wednesday. She was there for just over 24 hours. They just wanted to monitor her and be sure she wasn't going to throw up again. She is doing great now. Back to herself. I posted a picture of us when we finally fell asleep at the hospital just before we were taken to Taylor's room for the rest of our stay.

Taylor is sitting



Well, exciting news, Taylor is sitting by herself, with mom right there to catch her when she starts to fall. She can also stand holding on to something without me holding her. Course, again I am right there to catch her. She really enjoys sitting up right when she plays. She doesn't like it much when she is on her back. But here is a few picts of her sitting alone. Isn't she just so darn cute!!!

Christmas




Christmas was a lot of fun, but we were all also sick too. Thankfully Jerry and I didn't start to feel real bad until the next day. Taylor had a lovely little Viral Infection. But she is better now. I have posted pictures and video of the fun Christmas day.
