Finally, more pictures


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.

We would love to visit you guys in Texas. Abe just never has enough time off. He doesn't get a summer this year because of studying for the boards. But next year Abe does have to spend around 3-4 months in Texas so maybe we will get a chance to tag along for a little while. ~Meredith

bSuch cute pictures; Taylor looks just like Ethan. What cute kids. Ethan is a hoot. He's such a good big boy.

Can't wait for you guys to come to Texas!! I'm wondering if we're going to make it out to Virginia before you guys make it here.

where do i start? the peeing story? i laughed out loud. or the singing? he's quite the performer, so watch out american idol! pointing to his audience, playing the drums, dancing. using his potty as a stage? it's all very very good! wish i could be there to see the live show!!!

Oh my gosh your kids are so cute. I love Taylor's scowls and those cheeks! And I'm loving the sound effects at the end of Ethan's song. Welcome to potty training boys. Sometimes I go in to the bathroom and can't imagine for the life of me where Aidan is aiming for. It's definately not the toliet. Glad you could get a laugh out of it! :)
