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!

Kissing sister!


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!

Fearless at his first time playing on the park equipment alone. It was so much fun to watch him.

The finished product. He's a big boy now. I almost cried taking this pic.

Lots of pics to update! Here's Travis' first B-day!

So close but so far away......

Well, we have made it through 33weeks so far. Yes, it is so very true that you are more tired with the more children you have, and you do get bigger with each kid you have. Unfortunately, I have those Harvey genes. I am ready to be able to exercise again, vigorously. Taylor is doing wonderful measuring right on time. I feel like she could come tomorrow and be just as big as Travis though. We have her room almost done. I have a couple of things left to hang in there and a couple of more ideas that I am pondering on what to do in her room. So far, we love it though. I'll post pics when we finish it.
Travis is doing great. He is now saying around 10 words, all in his timing though. He is so funny and a great baby. I'm getting very nervous about him adjusting to Taylor and having to share time. It will work out though.
Ryan and I are both trying to keep up with the flow of things right now. Ryan is working like crazy. I'm still working full time at work and at home too. So, life is busy. Well, I better go and get some sleep. Have a great week and weekend!

Today we went for Taylor's 4D ultrasound. Everything looked great so far. All of her organs were developing well. She loved to put her feet in her mouth along with her hands. She is almost or a little ahead in size compared to Travis. She is weighing in at 3 lbs and 6oz. Travis was 4 lbs and 4 oz at 30 weeks. We had a lot of fun taking a look at her. God is good. We can't wait for her to get here. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hard to say good bye....
I want to dedicate this post to my grandma, Ivalene Hamlin. She was such a strong and dedicated woman to her family and to her friends. I admired her so deeply, partially b/c we have such similar personalities. She had been fighting ovarian cancer for 4 years. Unfortunately and very quickly Monday night, God called her home. She was such a beautiful person and one of my best friends. Saying good bye was the hardest thing that I have ever done. There were so many things that I wish I could have said before she passed away. However, most importantly, I know she is in heaven and I will see her again. I picture her to be Travis' and Taylor's guardian angel b/c I know that she'll keep them in line growing up. Grandmom, I am so proud of you; I will miss you so much; and I love you.
Please pray for my grandpa and my family as we grieve for her loss. I promise, Grandmom, that Travis and Taylor will remember you. I will miss our nightly chats!

Well,
Officially, I am a horrible blogger. Things have been crazy over the last few months. We have moved into our new house and started working on things for the new baby. Her room is a little to pink for me, so, we are soon going to be repainting it to a very pale pink. I might do a chocolate brown accent wall too. I am now 26 weeks along. Things are going great! She is an active little girl. We get to take one last peek at her next Tuesday for my 4D ultrasound!!! I'm anxious to see who she looks like b/c it was a very accurate picture of Travis. So, stay tuned till next week and I will post some pics of her.
Travis is doing well. He is now running around chasing the cats, into all my "prettys," and talking like crazy. His favorite words are: no way, no, dada, aww, ahh wee, and anything else you can manage to interpret from his little baby language. He is so funny and such a joy to sit around and watch. I absolutely love my time with him.
Ryan is doing well. Staying busy working. He is on call this month, which could mean more traveling than normal. So, we are crossing our fingers that he doesn't get called out too much. Well, here are some pictures of little man. I will take some pics of the house and post when we get our flower beds done. They need some serious attention.
