2 month check up

This sweet girl is already 2 months, I can't believe it. She is the easiest going little girl. She only eats every 3 hours or 4, it has helped me not hate nursing this time. With McKell it was 2 hours on the dot and I hated it. She is sleeping about 8 hours at night then eats and sleeps another 2 or 3 hours.

Dang she is cute!

She didn't enjoy her shots one bit.

We found out today she has an ear infection along with McKell oh joy.

Stats

Good Times

she didn't really appreciate it though

My niece MaKayla was over to play and was watching Taylee when I came into the room I seen this. Isn't that hilarious, she looked so funny sitting in there.

Snow Basin

I have the best parents in the world, this year they took all us kids and spouses skiing. It was a blast. It was a bit cold but it was good skiing.
Sisters and Mom

Almost the whole group minus Becky and Vanessa they decided to go one more time before they closed

I fell and for the life of me I could not get up my Mom is trying to pull me up

Getting all geared up.

Thankfully no one got seriously injured, only a few sore muscles and wind burned faces. Thank you so so much Mom and Dad that was such a fun day. Perhaps we should make it a tradition haha

Christmas!!

We had a great Christmas, lots of shocked faces. We stayed the night at my Parents house this year along with Kristy and Bryson.
My Mom very shocked about the gift my Dad just gave her. A very nice SLR Nikon Camera

Here is proof she is sick. It was 9:45 in the morning we actually had to wake her up to open presents.

McKell cooking us up a nice breakfast.

Jeremy and me are proud owners of a deep freezer I am so excited. Thank you Mom and Dad there is not a picture yet because it has not been delivered quite yet. We also got very nice bar stools which I love from Grandma and Grandpa. It was such a fun Christmas I love the holidays. Today we are stuck at home. McKell experienced her first case of the flu. Lets just say she is not a fan and neither are we.

Birthday Loot

I forgot to post these, McKell says Thank YOU!!

1 Month

This sweet girl is already 1 month old. She is still waking up at about 2 and 6 I am hoping for that to change soon. haha and just go for the 6, I know I know only dreaming.

Shes 2

She is girl through and through everyday for the past few weeks she asks to wear a dress. Now she has a nice skirt she can wear everyday.

As you can see she has lots of wonderful helpers, its amazing what gumballs on a cake will do.

My lovely cake haha the picture at least does it justice. I don't think I will be going into the business anytime soon, but it was fun to make one.

McKell is 2 can you believe it, the past 2 years have flown by. Sad for her she caught a cold for her birthday this year. Guess thats how it is when you have a December birthday. Can you believe she still only has 10 teeth, I can't I thought for sure she would have a mouthful by now. I am begining to think she is only going to have 2 teeth on the bottom.
McKell is getting smarter and smarter, she is really starting to talk and I love it, its so cute. Now when I ask her how old she is she says 2!
Words she can say are
Bless You
Excuse You
Thanks
Please
Drink
Milk

McKell you are such a joy in our home, you make me laugh all the time. You have taught me lots of patience and the simple things in life. I love watching you play with your dolls, you are such a mother. You have your mind set and things don't get in your way. You are a leaded and can hold your own. You tend to be very serious, but over the year you have lightened up a lot. We love you and are so Thankful for you in our Home. Thanks for being you, we look forward to many more birthdays, and hopefully you won't always be sick. :)

Blessing Day

Family of 4 wow

Taylee and her cousin Joshua are 9 days apart so we shared blessing days and did it in my Brothers ward. I love his little hat

Taylee

Jeremy blessed Taylee on Sunday, it was such a nice day. I am so thankful for the Priesthood and that Jeremy is able to bless our children. He gave her a nice blessing, it was nice to have everyone together for a lunch afterwards. Thank you everyone who brought something and just came it was a great day.

In the kitchen with the chair....

Nursing a baby for a half hour = pure destruction for McKell.

2 Weeks!

We had our 2 week appointment today, the Doctor says usually we like them to be back to their birth weight by now then looks at her paper " BUT SHE IS WELL OVER THAT" She weighs in at a whopping 8 lbs 9 oz the day after we came home from the hospital she was 7 lbs 6 oz so to say the least she is eating well. Which surprises me because a lot of times I have to wake her up after 4 hours to make her eat. Taylee is a great sleeper, I feel spoiled but I guess you have to have 1 like this right.

I love my 2 little girls, I don't know what I would do without them. McKell is getting so much better and loves Taylee so much. She loves to hold her and will hold her for a few minutes at a time now. I am so happy to have 2 girls this close I can tell McKell is going to take very good care of Taylee she is one lucky little girl.

New Do

While pregnant with Taylee I didn't cut my hair at all, so after I had her I was dying to get it cut. I usually wait a few months when I loose some weight but I couldn't wait my hair was driving me nuts. I was pretty daring this time I always wondered what I would look like with my hair this short and now I know. It has taken me a few days to get use to looking at myself but I think I like it now. I will probably let the sides grow out a little more so I don't look like a man.

3 Months

Wow!!! here is what 3 months does. Owen was smaller than Taylee when he was born.

Ouch!!

Okay sorry its a bit blurry, but this is Jeremy's sore gum. Don't that just make your mouth hurt. He goes in tomorrow to get it fixed. I will post pictures of the after

Finally!!

We have finally found a movie that McKell will watch the whole thing. Hooray!!! Its only a half hour but that's 30 minutes that she is entertained. She loves animals, so its fun to actually watch her watch the movie.
We have decided its time to take the binki away, she won't go to sleep like she use to so I guess its time. I hate to hear her cry so this is going to be hard on me.
Today things seemed pretty calm she seems to be getting a little better with a sister. After plenty of time outs, she may be settling down. I will cross my fingers.

McKell and Taylee

She has quite the rash on her face, yeah for sensitive skin.

McKell thinks its pretty cool to hold Taylee's bottle.

And she loves to have her picture taken by Taylee,

A Mother of 2 has been quite the adventure, I have not had a day alone yet Thank Heavens. I am a little nervous that I am gonna go nuts. I guess it has hit McKell that she is not alone anymore. She whines and whines and won't listen anymore, I don't know if it is for attention or what but its getting old fast. Taylee was spoiled in the hospital with a bottle because I had to supplement her due to a big weight loss. Now she will not nurse, which is fine during the day because McKell likes to hold her bottle. I just hope she will learn soon.

Halloween

Our first Halloween party of the year was with the Jensen's. I made McKell a tutu so she could be a lady bug and go figure the little stink would not wear it at all. Sooo....

We made her a cowgirl instead, we already had the boots so we just had to get a hat.

Miss Taylee was a Tiger

She would not cooperate one bit so this is the best we got.

We went up to the Willard Trunk-or-Treat it was fun besides the rain. Taylee even got to experience her first Halloween all snuggled up warm in her stroller. Every time McKell had the choice of candy she chose a sucker so sadly we have a lot of suckers to eat. Maybe next year we will teach her what good candy it.

She has arrived!!

Taylee Dawn Jensen
7 lbs 15 ounces
21 inches long

We are surviving the Parenthood of 2, it takes a lot longer to get out the door that is for sure. She has been a really good baby so far very very sleepy. I actually have to wake her up to eat every time instead of her telling me. Much much different than McKell she was every 2 hours on the dot screaming for food. Lets hope her calm personality lasts.

Motorcycle

My sister had this Motorcycle at my parents house, and McKell loved it. It is so nice to have a cousin that is old enough to take the little ones on rides. MaKayla is a good sport and took her on plenty of rides. Of course by the time I got the camera out she wasn't grinning ear to ear like she was before.

Had another appointment today, I am now dilated to a 3. I have been feeling like crap lately though so I talked myself into getting induced. As for now I will be induced Wednesday morning, that is if I don't chicken out.
