I've finally gotten around to posting some more pictures of Taylor. She isn't a huge fan of having her picture taken so she gives the same scowl that Ethan usually had in pictures. We did catch a little smile in this picture. She is just starting to wake up more and more, usually at night when we want to head to bed.
It is hard to see since this picture is kind of dark but Taylor's hair is starting to stick up most of the time. But it looks like it might have a little curl in it. She gets that from her dad. She also has the longest eye lashes, which she also got from her dad. She is such a cutie.
Ethan continues to be an excellent big brother. It is adorable to see him worry about Taylor when she cries and tries to interact with her. Any time she cries he says "do you need your mommy or your daddy?" He always interprets for us and says who she wants. I don' t think it is possible for her to get any more hugs and kisses from him. He is usually very gentle but still doesn't understand that she doesn't need toys and books. I have to run to where ever she is when I hear "Oh here you go. You need this." Usually that means a book or toy has been placed on her head.
I love this little video of Ethan. He loves to stand on his potty and perform for all of us. In this video he is singing the Sesame Street song "Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood". He had an audience for a while, my friend's daughter who would clap every time he finished singing. He is so fun to watch. Speaking of Ethan's potty, the other day I was feeding Taylor and I was talking to Ethan about how when I was done I was going to take him to the potty. He said okay and said that he wanted to go potty like daddy. That usually means that he stands near the potty and makes fake peeing sounds. I never really have taught him to pee standing up. So it didn't concern me when he started taking his little stool into the bathroom and when I saw his pajama bottoms fly out of the bathroom. I really didn't think he would actually go to the bathroom standing up. Well imagine my surprise when I lean forward to see into the bathroom from where I was sitting and I see him start to pee. Of course he is so impressed with himself that he turns to tell me about it and sprays around the bathroom and out the door, a good 3 feet. It was pretty much like watching an unmanned fire hose. I couldn't even do anything to stop him so I just laughed. I'm sure the sleep deprevation helped make it seem even funnier. I have learned my lesson.
This scowl looks almost exactly like Ethans when he was a baby.
Ethan doesn't look very happy in this picture but all he talked about was going to the hospital to see Taylor and Mom.
She is here and we are very excited. Taylor Nicole Fish arrived this morning at 1025. She weighed in 9lbs 1oz and is 22 inches long. We both think that she looks a lot like Ethan did when he was first born. She aspirated a little bit of fluid when she came out but she is doing well. Meredith is an amazing woman who once again did it all without medication. They are both doing well and Taylor has already nursed a couple of times. Ethan came and visited and was very cute with her. We are a little worried because he has an ear infection and we don't want to pass on any germs but I think that he needs to see why he has been abonded with Grandma. So the first picture is of Taylor and the second of Ethan so everyone can compare.
