Oh man! I haven't done a blog for sad to say....almost a year! It haunts me everyday when I hear about other peoples blogging and printing all their cute books! I have made a goal to catch up and for as long as I've put it off it's now time! My goal is to be all caught up from the past year in a couple months which means LOTS and LOTS of posts!! I figure if I do 2 a day I can do it! So all my posts will be backdated so it looks like I was never a major slacker! :o) I'm a little rusty but here it goes....

This Halloween was a lot of fun! Since the actual Halloween day was on a Sunday we got to celebrate Friday and Saturday. The whole month of October Beckem said he wanted to be Diego off of the show "Go Diego Go." I tried to find a perfect costume and they were all not up to par for this cute little guy so we talked him into being a football player. Since he is obsessed with football it wasn't very hard! My cousin Amber let us borrow this costume and from the second he tried it on it was a done deal! He wanted Taylee to be his cheerleader so we finally found her a costume from Gymboree. They were so cute together!
We started out by going to Tyler's work party at XanGo. The kids both love to show off and had so much fun getting the candy from all the different places.

My sister has been harrassing me for the past few weeks to cut Taylee's "wings/jewish curls." I swore I would never be the parent that had a hard time cutting the baby hair but I guess I didn't realize it was time! She started to rub all her curls off the back of her head so these were all she was left with! 2 perfect ringlets on the sides! haha Oh man, now they're gone I dont miss them :o) Taylee's grandma Shar gave her the first haircut. Grandma Kenna gave Beckem his so I guess it's my turn with the next one!

Little Taylee Mckenna is getting so big! At her 2 week appointment she exceeded her birth weight by almost a pound! She was born weighing 7lbs 7oz and weighed 8lbs 4 oz at her 2 week visit. The Dr. said they're really excited when babies are back up to their birth weight by this visit and that I must be producing straight cream! She was 20 3/4 inches long and I can't remember her head but it was in the 50%. Her weight and height were both about 75%. She is seriously the best baby ever! I couldn't ask for more. She sleeps anywhere from 2-4 hours at a time and only gets up to eat during the night then falls back asleep nursing. She is a gem! Beckem is such a good big brother. The first few days were hard because he kept saying "ME!" and wanting me to hold him, change him, sleep with him, etc. and when I couldn't because I was taking care of her he would hit me or even worse, the baby. He discovered quickly that she was here to stay and now every waking moment he wants to know where she is and be right there. His new best friend is his step stool that he follows me around with. Whatever I'm doing he's right by my side helping or watching. So cute! The only bad part is he can reach the snacks, scissors, baby, bathroom sink, and all the other fun things he finds to get into. He loves his "Baby TayE" and is really a big help to me in going to get things when I dont want to! :o) My friend Amber took these adorable pics of Taylee. Check her out at Amberdphotos.blogspot.com. We are loving being the parents of 2 beautiful kids!!
