Baby Tay and Nevaeh

Most of these are pics of Taylor I took one morning before church. There are a couple adorable ones of Nevaeh and Taylor, that show just how much those sissies love each other!
Sitting on her own

Big smiles, as usual

We thought this was funny. Think maybe she's teething?

Funny face

Sister Love

Holding hands






Some more....





Just a few more cute pics of the girls playing together...

Sisters!

Cute photos of my little girls. Just a day in my life....aren't you jealous? They're so precious!








Taylor Eats Solid Food!

Taylor ate her first solid food (rice cereal) a little after she turned 5 months old. She's still breastfeeding primarily, but Mommy wanted to get her on real food in hopes it would keep her full all night (it doesn't!) so that she would sleep all night (she doesn't!). Here are some cute shots we got. Her little bib says "I'm the Little Sister" and now Nevaeh says, "Baby Tay eat boob" and "Baby Tay eat rice cereal." Oh, the things that come out of a toddler's mouth.

What are you guys gonna do to me?

Nevaeh wanted to feed her.

Yum!

Can you please get that camera out of my face? I'm eating here.




To Auntie Nenny
















This blog is dedicated to "Auntie Nenny" who we all miss so much! It is hard for me, as Mommy to two girls who need their aunties around them, having my sister living in Texas. She bought this outfit for Taylor for Christmas but it was a little big, now it fits her just right....and we love the color on her. It is funny how different their personalities are, and how we already dress them differently, according to styles that fit them. Here are some of my looooong, sweet baby girl.

Potty Training

We are in the throws of potty training at the Gibbs Household. Starting today I am really going to be cracking down on getting my two-year-old to go on her "little potty." She does decently with solids, but never goes pee pee on it. We've tried treats, stickers, and praise. Now I guess we just have to let it consume us for a week or so.

Initially I was pretty laid back about getting her potty trained, but when I saw diapers were more expensive, even at Costco, I muttered, "Nevaeh, Mommy and Daddy can't afford your diapers anymore. Time to go on the potty." So here we go. It'll be interesting, to say the least. We are armed with Pull-Ups, Big Girl panties, more M&M's, stickers, and lots of hugs, kisses, and exuberance...hopefully that will suffice. :-)

I'd post a pic of one of her successes, but I'm sure you'd be more appreciative (and more likely to continue reading my blog) if I don't.

Love to you all!!!


P.S. Funny story alert: Nevaeh now lifts up her shirt and puts her baby doll up to her chest saying, "I feed MY baby MINE boob." Also, she has expanded her discussion of what Baby Tay eats to "Baby Tay eat boob and rice cereal" because, yes, my little baby is now started on solids. Time flies!!!

Just some cute pics...



While Nevaeh took playtime in the Exersaucer very seriously, Taylor is a smiley, energetic, goofy girl. Here is she for the first real time, playing with the toys and making us smile.



How can you not love a face like this? Such a little sweetie-girl.
Kaleb and I took the girls out to Riverpark to shop at Home Goods for home decor. Then I got my hubby to cave into my pleading to go to The Children's Place where I loooove to get the girls' clothes. Nevaeh tired of that so Kaleb took her to a little play area nearby. Here Nevaeh is riding a frog. Kaleb mostly snapped this pic to show our friend Sarah, who just loooves frogs. :-)
