Time to soak up the sun Taylor....

Taylor had her first vacation this past weekend! We traveled to Ocala, Florida for the Tomes Family Reunion. It was a lot of fun. Taylor did so good. We drove 8 hours to Savannah, then stayed the night there and woke up and drove another 4 hours to Ocala. Jenny and Matt and the kids met us in Savannah and we carpooled to FL. Taylor did good.


While we were there, we stayed in a cabin with Mom and Dad Tomes. We had some fun. Taylor has been doing pretty good...she's up to 4 hours in between meals now, so we get a little sleep.

During the reunion, Taylor got to meet her Great Grandma Tomes. GG Tomes loved her. Taylor threw a little bit of fit and was screaming in her ear, but I think it was because she was tired and hungry is all.

The funny part about the trip was the fun night we had on Saturday night. We had a band outside of Becky and Bobby's camper and had some food and drinks and had some fun. Taylor slept through the WHOLE concert. It was hilarious. I had to keep checking to make sure she was alive. She was in her carseat on top of her stroller and we put her bug net on her and she slept the whole time. People were amazed, not to mention me and Tim were surprised!

All in all, Taylor's first trip went well. On the way back we stopped about half way and stayed in SC at a hotel. On the way home, Taylor slept the whole 7 hour trip and woke up about an exit away from home.

Sleep, how I miss you...

Taylor is one month old (tomorrow)! Tim and I are doing okay. It's tough getting used to a baby around the house. You go from getting a decent amount of sleep to getting almost none. Taylor gets up every 2 hours to eat....every once in a while she'll make it 3 hours. That's nice. I've been trying to sleep as much as I can when she is, but it's hard when there is so much to do around the house. I'm also really starting to hate when people tell me "You have to sleep when the baby does". Yea, okay....you're stoopid.  If you've had a kid, you know that's impossible because you're worrying about the house being a mess, dinner being cooked, laundry being done, or making sure all the bottles are ready for when the crying monster wakes up.


She had her 1 month dr appt today. She is 22 inches and 10 lbs! She's getting so big. The dr says she is healthy as can be!

We've just switched Taylor from breastmilk to formula as she seemed she just wasnt getting enough of my milk, was super cranky, and had a lot of diahrea. At one point she drank 10 whole ounces in an hour and then still wasnt satisfied. Tim and I decided it just wasnt worth the trouble of pumping and we wanted to make sure she was getting enough nutrition.

But she's been doing amazing on formula. Sleeps for 3 hours at a time instead of the 2.
