Not a one trick pony

First off, I would like to thank you all for the support and mommy-tricks to help combat Taylor’s teething and cold. I feel very lucky to have all of you veteran mothers out there passing on this valuable knowledge. If you ever need me to elaborate any of my special skills, such as organizing a pantry, accessorizing an outfit or making a wicked bloody mary, just let me know. Maybe we can use the barter system. If anyone out there has any advice on weaning, then I will gladly divulge the Famous Amys guacamole recipe. Think about it.

Taylor seems to be feeling a lot better. Even though her nose is still pretty stuffed-up, she’s smiling, laughing and jabbering like normal. Her new favorite word is Dadada. And after Chris got home from his weekend at the Ryder Cup, he was greeted with a big, cheesy Taylor smile and her saying, Dadada. To which he pretty much reached into chest, ripped out his heart, put a bow on it and handed it to her.

My daughter also revealed another new baby-trick in the past days, as she is now sitting up without support. She can’t get into the position all by herself, but once she’s there she doesn’t fall over right away. And she’s not completely stable, but steady enough for me to get some pretty cute pictures.
