Father's Day and other Updates

We had a very relaxing, enjoyable Father's Day Weekend.  My dad was out of town with work so unfortunately we were not able to celebrate with him.  We made sure to call him first thing though and let him know how much he is loved and appreciated :).  Hopefully we can get the whole family together this weekend when he's back in town.

Taylor and I woke up early (as if this isn't our normal routine anyway) on Sunday to wrap Daddy's presents to surprise him when he woke up.  You can't ask for a better present than our sweet little Taylor, but we made a solid attempt anyway :).

We got him a single serve coffeemaker to take to work, along with possibly the best coffee in the world.  If you haven't tried New England Coffee's Blueberry Cobbler, you're missing out.  We thought this was an appropriate gift since Taylor has a habit of waking Daddy up in the middle of the night during her feedings when Mommy can't get her ish together quick enough :).  It came in handy this morning too when Daddy stayed up too late watching the NBA finals and didn't have time to make his morning coffee when he woke up.  Happy First Father's Day, Craig!  We can't wait to celebrate many more in the years to come!

Baby Taylor is changing everyday.  She has such an adorable personality and loves to chatter away through the cutest grunts and squeaks you've ever heard.  She also started taking a bottle for the first time this weekend.  She had no issues at all and alternates back and forth between bottle feeding and breastfeeding seamlessly.  Mommy had a hard time with this, but it's nice that Craig can now be involved too.

We've been using the Infantino carrier a little bit each day and she still seems to love it.  Since she's awake so much more during the day, it's a lifesaver to keep her with me at all times but still be able to get things done.  I included a picture as promised in the last post, but sadly my appearance did not improve.  It's very difficult to be motivated to make myself presentable when I rarely leave the house.

I also installed her baby monitor above the crib and we're currently working on transitioning her to the nursery for naps during the day.  I'm not sure if I'm ready to move her there at night yet..baby steps :).

The monitor works great and allows me to talk to her if she starts to get fussy.  So far she seems to enjoy her nursery and doesn't mind hanging out in her crib.  Possibly the super awesome chandelier I have for her to look at :).

I think we're on the verge of smiling so hopefully my next post will be full of giggles and grins from sweet Taylor!
