Dryer Baby

Jan 27 2011

After bathtime, while Momma was doing laundry, just for fun, I let Noah get in the dryer. WELL I started something. He didn't want to get out.




When I finally got him out and the wet clothes back in. He immediately started pulling them out again, and was trying to sneak back inside.


This is after he hit his head. He always says, "Bop" "Bop"





Bedtime, and Noah is not happy about being grounded from the dryer.

Double Ear Infections

Jan 24 2011

So over the weekend Noah spiked a 102.something fever followed by a horrible cough. I was a little discouraged because this would the 3rd week in a row we have missed church because of sickness. And because we both just got over colds and I could not believe he had another one.

We headed into see the Dr., relayed the symptoms, and one look in my screaming childs' ears confirmed. Noah had his 1st ear infection and in both ears at that. I thought it was a myth but and Ear infection cough is very distinguishable and if I hear it again in the future I will automatically know the culprit.

Today is actually Thursday and we are on day 4 of antibiotics. I can see and improvement in how Noah feels, but his sleeping is just ridiculous. Up at every hour after 3 till morning. And sometimes a few times before that. So NO SLEEP for Momma. I know his little ears hurts when he lays down so we have been trying to prop him up.






Beba and his blanket have been his favorite things while he is sick.

SEN-TEN-CES

Jan 24 2011

Slowly but surely Noah is starting to realize how to ask for things he wants. We are coaching his words so he understands not to whine (first and foremost), and get frustrated when we don't understand him.

His meanings are sometimes a little off. As you can tell with "I"/"Eyes" but he is getting there. And sometimes, when we tell him a word he gets the syllables mixed up. Saying the last one first and the first one last.

Shower for Carter

Jan 22 2011

I was able to finally catch up with my friend Lindsey. (we constantly miss each other and have made plans to let our boys [Noah and Griffin are only months apart in age] play several times, only for something to come up). I had a Blast at the Baby shower for Carter James. He will arrive in 2 weeks. I met new ladies, ate some good breakfast food, got to talk with other moms, and most important be apart of this day.

All the gals

The cutest cupcakes

Spend the night friend

Jan 17 2011

We had Asher spend the afternoon and night with us. His little 1 month old brother had to be hospitalized and Asher got to come play.

Noah is really not interested in Thomas the Train at all. But since Asher loves them, NOW so does Noah. They took turns lining up the cars and messing them up again.






Here is just a glimpse of a very splashy bathtime.

15 Weeks

Jan 17 2011

On Monday I was 15 weeks. It is beginning to feel more real. I can feel my belly growing, and should feel this child kicking around any day now. We find out the sex of Baby Taylor 2 on Feb 7th, and would love if you voted on our poll at the top of our blog page. What do you think it will be?? In my second trimester, most of the nausea is gone, and finally my cold is gone. Hooray. I am beginning to like food again.



Here are some of the foods that got me through the 1st trimester.
- pasta with cheese and ranch dressing
- mac and cheese
- strawberry pop tarts, no frosting
- toast with peanut butter
- cereal
- baked potatoes
- my mom's cooking at Christmas (deviled eggs, potato casserole,......)



Now I am liking more things:
- dill pickles
- strawberry real fruit Popsicles
- pineapple, cheese, and mayo sandwiches
- roast and potatoes
- meat in general I can eat again
- Wendy's fries and choc frosty
- carribean way from Smoothie king



Yes most of these foods I liked before I was pregnant but this time I can actually enjoy them and I am not stuck in Africa only dreaming about them like I was with Noah.

Noah is really learning about babies too. I can ask him where the baby is and he will lift up my shirt and kiss my stomach. It is too sweet.

He finds babies where ever they are. In his books, on TV, out in public, and will loudly announce. BABY and point!!!!!!!! At Christmas we talked about Baby Jesus and he affectiontly calls HIM Baby G.

Here are just a couple of cute pics of my little man in his overalls. He reminds me of my Papaw in these pictures. He just needs a cap on his head, a pencil in his pockets, and to have recently come from the farm bearing, butter beans, squash, watermelon, corn, catfish, or some other yummy thing.

Rufus the doggie bank

This is Noah learning to save money in his RUFUS the doggie bank. He loves getting pennies from Daddy and putting then in the tiny slot, hearing them jangle, and drop to the bottom.




This is what he had seen Daddy do, when he runs out of pennies, turn it over, good thing Noah has not figured out how to get the bottom off.

He is getting frustrated

Irritated

Down right Livid

Chilly in the Park

So it got up to 50 degrees today, and Noah hasn't been outside in......well a long time, so he still had a little cough, but we braved taking him to the park. And the GREAT (sarcasm) parents that we are forgot his hat. It proved to be really windy.


SO daddy remembered he has his hat in the car and we settled for that one. Kinda big but really cute.

At first he loved

There it goes........it was a battle to keep in on from this point on.

But Daddy stayed close and kept and eye on him

It looks like he is not having much fun, I actually think he is just taking it all in here. We chased him most of the time. He was all over the place and had so much fun.

With Mommy looking rough

Picking up Pecans

At this point it we decided it was really too cold.

Shiny Heiny

Jan 14 2011

Drew caught Noah doing this the other day. He has learned a new trick (watch out), sticking his booty in the air while standing on his head, you can see him do this anytime he is on his big boy bed, the couch, mom and dad's bed,......I think it is cute.

Lounging it

Jan 9 2011

This was Sunday morning, when Momma had to stay home from church sick. Noah had no problem keeping me company. We just lounged around, Noah watched some toons, ate breakfast, and took a nap.

Lately we have been living like shut ins. Mostly because it is freezing outside. Not getting out of the 30's. And with wind it makes it really bone cold. Other that I (Lindsay) have come down with a cold, that I am determined to get over, being pregnant and sick is miserable.

I had anther prenatal appointment last Wednesday. Just to listen to the heartbeat (160 bpm), and to get to know another Dr. from the practice. Dr. Groff, I really like her and hope she delivers me. One day I would love to work in an OB/GYN office, it seems like such a fun job. (That or in a quilt shop)

Well Monday the really icy weather hit, and Drew got a call from work saying he did not have to come in. I was happy because Noah had a really rough night (up with 102 fever and sleeplessness) I had lots of help. It was hard to stay up with him, while coughing, sneezing, and being sick myself. Drew was happy he got to stay home so he could watch the National Championship, GO AUBURN!!!! I think he was feeling later when he was up with Noah at 3, and 4, and 5 a.m.

Mimi Babysits via Skype

Jan 8 2011

We are just kidding about leaving our child to the computer for babysitting, but we have heard it has been done, and Mimi sure did keep him busy for quite a while. The Patty Cake song must have been sung several dozens of times and Noah's little hands were quite busy patting it out and rolling it up. He had a blast. And when the song was over, MORE MORE MORE........ So it continued.
