45 Days and Finally time to blog!

Let me start off by saying that the last 45 days have flown by. The fact that the weather is so warm, making it feel like it's not quite winter yet, is also helping with that. As of right now, January 6th at Noon, it is 50 degrees when it should be in the low 30's.

Taylor is 45 days old now. Helen was off work for 4 weeks and returned a couple of weeks ago. So for the last 2 weeks I have been alone with Taylor for most of the day. Honestly I can say I thought it would be harder. The house is still clean, meals still get cooked, the laundry is done and I am getting plenty of sleep. That's not to say that I am not struggling. I am just not struggling with getting and keeping things done. The struggle for me is being stuck in this stupid tiny apartment all the time. Especially on days like this. If we had a second car I would be on my way to the lake right now. A second car is in the works, just not here yet. Also we are just beginning the process of trying to get a home loan. It would be great to pay our own mortgage payments instead of someone else's for once.

After what I have read online and heard from friends, I think we got really lucky with Taylor. She seems to be an AWESOME baby. She does not fuss or cry much at all. Also she has a pretty regular sleeping pattern of 10pm to 4 or 5am. I am ready for her to walk and talk and be big enough for us to do stuff together. I know I shouldn't wish this time away and I may want this time back at some point... but I am ready to show her this awesome big would that we live in.

Hopefully I will not go this long without blogging again. I have just been trying to get a good schedule down and I think that I have now :)

Also real quick I want to congratulate my Niece Catlyn and her husband on there first child which was born this morning. Welcome to the world Cara! Taylor can't wait to meet you!

Below are some of the latest pictures that I have taken of Taylor..
