Parenthood... where to begin? We are almost 8 weeks in, and still alive! Honestly, Taylor has been such a blessing. She is like all babies you ever heard of, eats, sleeps, and poohs. She is growing like a weed, and developing ahead of the curve. Our Pediatrician was amazed that she was able to move her head side to side at 1 week old, and says this is very rare. Taylor was batting at her toys at 2 weeks. At 4 weeks, Taylor started to hold her head up on her own and is able to smile. I know, I am a little bit bias since I am her father, but I kid you not, I think I saw her flying around the other day with a red cape. (haha)

Taylor's first Christmas and New Year's was real special. She received so many presents from her family and friends. Thank you so much for your good heart and generosity.

As for the parents sanity, Angel and I are doing well. Life has definitely changed, but we are enjoying this new chapter in our life. We couldn't imagine our life without Taylor... pretty scriptic response, I know. No seriously, parenthood has been very good. It's hard to explain, but just seeing your characteristics in your own baby, makes the experience very personal and surreal. It seems as though your animal instincts takes over naturally, and you innately are trying to protect your baby every second, and triple checking yourself. We always seem to be asking ourselves, "do you think Taylor is warm enough?", "do you think she is still hungry?", and "when was the last time you changed her diaper?". Like Jerry Maguire, having Taylor has definitely completed us. Life seems to make sense now, and have more of a purpose.
