Well, Ryan and I did something that I thought we would never do...we put Taylor in a pagent. It was a lot of fun, but it was probably my first and last. She did not win over all, but
she did win best personality and smile. She's always our little princess. The first little dress is what she wore to the pagent to meet her competition. Crystal, my best friends mom, brought it up b/c she was so excited to have a little girl to spoil. The pretty little pink dress I bought for the pagent. Tina and Nana Pat helped me scope out the game plan for the pagent. We had a lot of fun, but we were exhausted at the end of the night.

Well, things are going good in the Chandler household. Taylor is doing well. She is cooing and smiling and just a perfect little baby. Travis is getting so big. He is now an opinionated little toddler. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a long visit to see our parents. Since then, both kids have been sick. Its officially that time of year. We are making it though.
Tonight, we took the kids to chick-fil-a to the Christmas celebration. Travis loved to talk about the cow, but he would not pose with him for a pic. You can see how the Santa pic turned out! It was such a neat set up there. I love Chick-Fil-A! They had caroling, christmas stories, cookie decorating, and Santa rode in on the fire truck with the cow. It is such a family friendly fast food joint. Well, gotta go fussy kids. Have a great Christmas season!

This picture I was attempting to catch Travis being so incredibly sweet to her. He sat down beside Taylor and was holding her hand. It was a picture perfect photo but the slow camera missed it.

I'm so excited to post that Taylor is now smiling and cooing. It is so cute and exciting. She is now 5 weeks old and doing so incredibly well. I love my time at home!

After a fun morning of playing, Travis sat down in Taylor's bouncy to watch Sesame Street. I gave him his pacifier, sippy, and Taylor's blanket and he was out!


Travis with his cousin Presley and Hadley. Travis thought he was so big and ate lots of tooth paste.


My grandad with Travis and his cousin Addison. Look at that red hair.


I absolutely love this picture.

Taylor at 3 weeks.

Well, we have officially made it through a month with two kiddos. Things are going well. We are slowly adjusting to the juggling of two kids. Taylor is doing well and changing so much. Travis is adjusting well to her. He loves to give her bottles or pacifiers and take them from her. They had their first fight today about the pacifier. I love the time that I have with them!

Our attempt to get a pic of them together!

Well, we have officially made it through the first week and a half with two kiddos. My mom has been up here this week and it has been such a tremendous help. I know that I could not have done it without her this week. Taylor is doing well. She is eating well and sleeps wonderfully in the day. At night, its a gamble of whether or not she will sleep. Travis is adjusting well. Most of the time he just goes about his business. It has definetly has gotten busier around here! Enjoy the pics!
