CHIRSTMAS 2010

Christmas morning was so much fun at our house!  Taylor loved all her presents!  Almost every time she opened something she would kiss someone and so thank you!  At my parents she opened and present ran over to my mom gave her a kiss and said this is just what I wanted for 2 dollars!  Madison was a blast too!   She was going crazy and it was so much fun to watch!

We went to St. George for New Years!  New Years Eve we played WII!  It was fun!  We even got my Grandpa Sprouse to play!  We laughed so hard, between Grandpa Sprouse getting lucky, me bowling a strike with Madison on my hip when everyone told me I could not do it, and Dad being Dad competitive... wonder where I get it from! 

We could not get Grandma to play instead she spent some time with Taylor in her homemade tent!

TAYLOR GRAYCE

Taylor has been learning and growing so much the last couple months!  She has become such a tease, she likes to tease her Dad and her Bompa!  She likes to go to my parents and either cook or bead with my Mom or jump on the bed with my Dad!  Everyday she makes me laugh! She is always telling me when she gets bigger she can have gum, or when she gets bigger she can shave her legs!  Another thing she askes me everyday is if Madi can get bigger!  She does not foget anything you tell her or anything you say!  You really have to be careful, my parents dog Annie is always getting herself in trouble, she eats rose bushes, her food dish, trees and anything she can get her paws on... one day we found part of a rose bush with thorns all over it half eat,  Someone called her a stupid dog... well guess what!  Taylor heard and the next day she was in the bath with Madi and in the cutest little voice asked if she was a stupid dog... she did not know what it mean't, the way she said it was like is was a good thing!  I had to sit her down and explain that that is not a nice word!  I am very lucky to have her as a daughter, from the time she was born to now she has been such a good girl!  She has her moments but for the most part she is very well behaved!  She has her times when she does not want to listen or cries over everything, but most of the time she will realize she is being naughty and say she is sorry!  Today after I got her out of the bath she gave me a hug and told me I was a good Momma... nothing makes you feel better then that!  She is very loving, always kissing you tell you she loves you!  She requires her sleepm if she does not get it she is does not cope well.  Most days it hits about 1 oclock and she askes me if she can take a nap!  She is still very much a Daddy's girl and tells me all day she misses him! 

Miss Madison Danielle

Madison

Little Madison, well she is not little anymore!  She is now 5 months old as of yesterday!  She is so much fun, we is usually happy... but make her mad she will let you hear it!  She never stops moving, she started rolling at 3 1/2 months!  She likes to be able to see whats going on, she is not a huge fan of laying down!  Her Bumbo seat is a lifesaver! She would rather be held then be on her own!  She will sit in here Bumbo seat and watch her sister play, but lately she tries her hardest to get out of it... she just wants to play with her sister.  Madison LOVES Taylor! When we drive if Madi is awake she is looking at Taylor and she will sit and talk to her!  Luckily Taylor loves her too!  We have started giving her food... she loves sweet potatoes, carrots, potatoes, and bananas!!  She started throwing fits when we would eat, she wanted food SO bad!  She is not super interested in her bottle and most the time does not finish it!  She sleeps from 8pm to 7 am!  Her naps are not very consistent but are getting better, she will go down around 8:30 and sleep for 30mins to an hour, stay awake tell 11:30 then she usually sleeps until 3:00, then at 5 she needs a little cat nap!  I wish her nap schedule would be better take two naps, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, but she thinks otherwise!  She brings so much joy into our lives, we love her! 

Playing Dress Up!

   A couple of Thursday nights ago I came home from Young Women's to find Mark and Taylor doing this....

She dressed him all up and was calling him a baby!  What a good Dad and sport he is! 

LOVE these girls!

I love these two little girls!

Taylor has taken to being a big siter better then I could have ever ask for! She loves her little sister! She is always kissing her and telling her she is so cute. Most of the time she calls her that baby but she is getting better about calling her Madison or Madi. She is grwoing up so fast, she is a joy to have around... most of the time!! I feel really lucky she is such a good girl, she of course has her two year old moments but they dont last long and they could be much worse. She likes to be on the go, many mornings she wakes up and wants to go to Grammie's house or she will tell me she is going to Walmart or Target. She loves to color, ride her bike, cook with Grammie and follow Bompa around and she is getting really good at teasing him...whatever she wants Bompa does!! Her favorite Dani is one of her BIG time favorites! She continues to be such a good sleeper going to bed around 8 or 8:30 and usually waking up around 7:30, she stills to take naps and most of the time she is telling me she wants to go to bed. I love her so much, I love her random kisses she gives and I LOVE when she tells me she loves me.


Madison reminds me a lot of Taylor as a baby! There schedules are so much the same, and neither like the idea of nursing! Madison, like Tay, only wakes up once in the night to eat and every night is about the same time, she eats and most nights goes right back to sleep! While Tay rarely cried Madi is more vocal but most the time its only if she is really mad cause she is tired or REALLY hungry!! Our biggest problem is the spitting up... its random and sometimes worse then others but its a pain in the butt. She likes to be cuddled and is not a huge fan of being swaddled but I dont it anyway! We are so lucky to have in come into our lives and look forward to watching her grow and interact with her sister!
