Mother's Day and 5 months


Taylor was 5 months old on Sunday and it was also my 1st Mother's day with him. It was a wonderful day full of special memories. Bryan had a corsage and a card for me when I woke up that Taylor attempted to sign but evidently would have rather just chewed on the pen. We went to church and took Taylor to Bible class. When I went to pick him up they had made cards with his tiny hands cut out and he had scribbled on it with a crayon. It moved me to tears.

We went to lunch with all of the grandmothers/moms on Bryan's side of the family which was a good time. We also went to dinner with my mom and one of my grandmas on Friday so we got to see almost all of our family over the weekend.

Taylor is getting such a huge personality. Unless he is really tired or really hungry, he is always smiling. He laughs all the time and he gets so excited when Bryan or I walk into the room. He is rolling all over the place which is about to make things much more interesting once he figures out that he can get places now. He loves to stand up most of the time so he's getting really strong. He is able to sit up on his own for about 20-30 seconds before falling over.

He is definitely a mama's boy, much to Bryan's disappointment. Most nights he goes to sleep on his own when you put him in his crib but not always. He is still not sleeping through the night on a regular basis so that gets very overwhelming since I wake up at 3:00AM most days for work.

He is still working on cutting teeth so he does get cranky every once in a while but he's been pretty good about it.

The other kids at the babysitters seem to really like him and she says that he is a great baby. That makes me proud!
