My first tent experience

Summer is Almost over

Life is good...Taylor is doing amazing and weighing in at almost nine pounds on her 3 month birthday. She is 3 and a half months now, and getting bigger everyday! I am back to work and struggling leaving her everyday. We have moved to Lexington to accommodate childcare, and hoping that our house will sell soon since we are ready to build a new home. Lots of changes have taken place in the past few months, but we are so blessed!! Enjoy the photos...

Catching up on Life!

Hello to all!! I am way overdue on posting an update on Taylor's life. We are all doing great, and I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July holiday. Taylor is now 2 months and 1 week old ... time is flying so quickly. Her weight last week was 6 lbs. and 13 oz. She will hit the 7 lb. mark in no time, and this past week she outgrew some of her preemie clothes and is now in her "newborn" wardrobe.

This Sunday was Taylor and her cousin Addison's baby dedication. We took them to have 4th of July and christening gown photos. As you can see below, Taylor cried through a lot of her photo shoot, but she still was able to pose for a few of the pictures.

I never cease to be amazed at how blessed we are at Taylor's continued growth and improvement since only a little over a month ago she was in the hospital not doing well. Taylor's dedication today reminded me again of how good our heavenly Father has been to us, and now what an unbelievable responsibility it is to have a child. We are truly blessed!!

I hope you all enjoy Taylor's 2 month photos including those with her cousins, Lexi and Addison.

Love to all,
Dana, David, and Taylor


The only photo of this pose that came close to turning out.



Taylor was not happy about this situation and Lexi and Addison were not in the mood to smile.


Taylor had been crying so much that the only way we could get a few close up pictures was for me to hold her.

Taylor Update - welcome home Reagan!!

The first thing we have to celebrate is that our friend, Reagan Winslow (her friend in the NICU), was able to come home this past Friday! What a miracle that she is doing so well after such a rocky start in life. Both of the little girls have made it to 6 lbs!! Taylor is 6 lbs. and 3 oz. and Reagan is 6 lbs!! They both are packing on the ounces. It is unbelievable that these girls are only supposed to be about a week old but they are almost 2 and 4 months old.

Taylor had her first professional photos done on Saturday, and she cried through most of it since she had to be unwrapped. We still got a few good shots and I will have them posted soon.

Love,
Dana, David, and Taylor

Gaining Weight...

Taylor had another check up today, and she has gained a little more weight...she is up to 5 lbs. and 12 oz. Her doctor says she is doing great, but we have to keep working to help her catch up where she should be in weight. It is amazing to see how much she is already changing! She wants to stay awake longer and not sleep at night, and she also wants to be held more and more. Of course grandma (aka "mamoo") does not mind at all.

We are so grateful for her continued progress!! It is hard to believe that she was not suppose to be born until next week. Below are a few more of Taylor's one month old pictures that her Daddy took.

Love, Dana, David, and Taylor

PLEASE stop taking my picture!!

Taylor Update

I have to give David credit for Taylor's great 1 month old photos!! Taylor and her dad did a great job in the photo shoot even though a one month old does not always cooperate.

Taylor went back to see her doctor yesterday and she has gained 2 more oz. The Dr. was hoping for a little more weight gain (1/2 oz. per day) and she did not meet that, but they are still pleased with her progress. She weighs a total for 5 lbs. and 8 oz. We are so thankful for her continued progress. It is amazing to think that Taylor's due date is not for another week and a half. We are so blessed that she is doing so well.

I would like to ask all of our friends and family to lift our friend Reagan Winslow up in prayer who is still in the NICU at Forsyth Hospital for her to get to come home soon. She has almost caught Taylor in weight, but she has to make it at least 7 days with no drop in her heart rate and oxygen. Come Home Soon!!

Love to you all,
Dana, David, and Taylor
