Mother's Day, Belly Buttons, and Birthday Party!

My first Mother's Day was perfect. I actually got a whole weekend full of fun! My very talented daughter made me waffles with strawberries and whip cream on Saturday morning!! Her wonderful dad might have helped a little.

On Sunday morning we had the Wilcox's for brunch. Matt and his brother's made waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage for all the women!!! And on Sunday night, Joni and I brought dinner to Mom and Dad's. We had BBQ from Kirby's in Magnolia..it is the best!

Taylor also has now FINALLY lost her umbilical cord. It only took almost 7 weeks. I even took a picture to prove it!! She has a very cute belly button I must say so myself!!

Abby turned two the end of last month and she had a pool party to celebrate. Here is her brother, Johnny, and Taylor snoozing in his bassinet! I know it is bad of me, but I didn't get any pictures of the party itself...I was enjoying the sun and watching the kiddos swim!

Taylor's Room

Here are a couple pictures of Taylor's Room. She started sleeping in her own bed at about six weeks. It is going well! She wakes up every four hours to eat and goes right back down to sleep. Saturday night she even slept 6 hours!! Hasn't done it since, but we look forward to the day that she does.

Great Weekend!!

This past weekend was very busy for us! We went down to see the Boyd's for Seth's first birthday party on Saturday! It was a pool party, but Taylor couldn't swim because her umbilical cord hasn't fallen off yet...yes I know, babies are supposed to lose those things in the first 2-3 weeks and she is now 6 weeks old. I think it just reminds her of her old "home" and she won't let it go! Anyway, Seth had a great time!

Saturday night we went to Nana and Papa's house to see my Aunt and Uncle and cousins. It was their first time to meet Taylor. They were on their way back from vacation and decided to stop in Houston for a few days to see us!! It was great to see them and hear all about their trip to Australia. We hope to see them this summer again at the yearly family reunion!
I've been lucky to be able to keep Alex a few Monday mornings since I haven't been working. Here is everyone toward the end of the morning...sleeping!! Even Winnie decided to take a nap! Notice the dirty diaper, empty bottle, yogurt container, etc....I was too busy playing to clean anything up!
