Boy am I bad at keeping up on this thing. Oh well. Well Taylor is ten months now, and she has mastered the crawling thing. 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.

It's almost Christmas

It is almost Christmas and I am still trying to get my Christmas cards out!!! I can't believe how far behind I feel I am getting. I have not been able to check email, facebook, and finish setting up my blog for a few weeks now. I just feel like I am drowning in housework and work. Taylor takes up so much time, that my "breaks" I am busy getting everything else done. But finally here I am, getting the background of my blog done, and adding a blog. Now just to send the link to friends and family. Someday it will happen. Oh well. But I am looking forward to Taylor's first Christmas. It should be fun. I have wrapped some of her toys that we have for her that she has been to young for yet, and we will see what happens as we have her "Open" them. We will take lots of pictures. This Christmas is more for Jerry and me than for her I think. I know she will have no clue what is going on. We are also thinking about going up to my parents cabin for the New Year, which would be fun. Hopefully there will be some snow we can play in with Taylor. But it will depend on the weather. As long as no major storms come in that weekend we should be able to go. Otherwise we will risk getting stuck.
