Kicked out!

Well, it's official. Next Tuesday will be Taylee's last speech therapy visit with the Early Intervention team. She no longer qualifies for their services. (woohoo!) I guess it's the only time in your life that you want to be kicked out. Mission accomplished. Way to go Taylee bug! The only sad part is that she will not be able to take part in music therapy (only available for kids over 2). Ahh well . . . Maybe poppie can seranade her with his guitar . . .

This is how Taylee's hair looked before naptime today -

This is how it looked after naptime.

Apparently she didn't spend the whole time sleeping . . .

Six Year Anniversary

Six Years ago yesterday Kent and I were married! Some days it feels like we have been married for just a day, and others it feels like we've always been together. Funny how time works . . .
With the generous babysitting services of Grandma and Grandpa Judson and Nana and Poppie, Kent and I were able to spent the day in Park City, catch a movie, and get dinner at Olive Garden. We had a wonderful time! Happy Versary Babe!

Snuggle-Bunny

Taylee has never been much of a snuggle bug, but lately she has become a real snuggly girl. I love it! We sit and relax and watch "sneet" (Sesame Street), while we "nuggle," before naps and bedtime. I attribute this recent change to her Easter presents. She got a Build-a-Bear Bunny from her Aunt Michelle in Tennessee (thanks Michelle!), and she LOVES this bunny. He is her new best friend and snuggle-bunny. She even sleeps with it. This is the first lovey she has shown much attachment to. It's pretty darn cute!

One of her other Easter gifts was this cute animal puzzle. She loves to do this puzzle with mommy or daddy's help, but the silly part is that she likes to snuggle the puzzle pieces. She hands a little wooden animal to me and says "nuggle!" She gets her own little wooden animal and snuggles right up with it. Weird. But too cute! I sure hope this snuggly phase lasts for awhile!

Bedhead

Now that Taylee's hair is getting longer, she has been waking up with some crazy bedhead! I had to include several photos, because we took about 30 pix trying to get a good one. She just doesn't sit still . . .

Today's nap not only provided some great bed head, it also helped me solve a mystery in our house! For a while now I have noticed Taylee's mobile going at odd times. Like an hour after she goes to sleep. (I know, it's silly that she still has a mobile, but she likes it, and it's not hurting anything, right???) She turns it on every time she goes to bed, and it runs for 18 minutes. So why is it going hours later? I thought maybe it was possessed. Well, today when I went in to throw a blanket over her, she woke up, and sat up when I was in her room. I made a mad dash for the door, because it was NOT time for her nap to be over. I spied on her from the crack in the door. She stood up, turned her mobile back on, then snuggled up and went back to sleep. I guess when she wakes up and doesn't feel ready to get up, she turns on her mobile? Too bad it's not that easy on those 5:30 am mornings . . .

Chili Head

Taylee loves chili! And she loves to make a mess with chili! (The spoon is just an accessory to her fingers ;) I love that she loves chili, cuz I love chili too! But . . . I don't love cleaning up after Taylee has eaten chili.
Little Known Fact: A Chili Head is an employee of Chili's. Since I was a waitress at Chili's in college, I am truly a Chili Head! But . . . I think it's kind of a goofy name. ;0)
