Wow! Where did the summer go? I can't believe that school and football are starting and the weather is changing...well not here but I hear that it is in other places. Jordan had one week off of school before he started his internship so we tried to cram as much fun in that time as we could. We went to the beach, the museum of science and history up in Jax and then we went to Disney for a day. We got a season pass to disney so we will be going back as much as we can.
I don't have much time to myself, seems like there's always a little person that needs something(normally it's Jayla!!)...so that's all for now!

Info from Taliyah's 4 month check up.
Weight: 13.9 lbs 50th percentile
Height: 26 inches 95th percentile
I've heard that he can tell how big a puppy will be by looking at the size of their paws. The same must be true with Taliyah. She had the longest feet at birth and it doesn't look like she's going to be short!
We love you Tally!

For the Grandmas!!

Taliyah is growing so fast!! The other day she finally decided that she could push herself up when she is on her belly. She went from refusing to try to doing it like a champ in one day!
And she's rolling over!
We wish that we could be closer to family but for now sharing these special moments this way will have to do....we are so thankful for digital camera, the internet and skype!


Jayla always tries to get in the picture...sisters!

Look who's trying to suck her thumb...she's like her Daddy

Big Girl!!


I tried to get a video of Taliyah rolling over but she was being camera shy so I had to hide and try to catch her.

Where did my sweet little girl go?


What could have happened to this nutty buddy?
A wild animal?
Our dog?
Nope, it was our dear little 2-year-old. She was told no but decided that she would try to eat it anyways. She has been undergoing some changes that come along with her age and adding a little sister. She's testing her boundaries and our patience. She has to have things done her way. She no longer takes naps because if she does she won't go to bed at night. She's suddenly scared of the dark (along with anything that makes noise) and has to sleep with the door open and the light on. And for some reason in the middle on the night she can't figure out how to open our door and pounds on it until we open it yet in the middle of the day when I'm trying to get alittle privacy she has no problem opening it! She whines and cries when she doesn't get her way. And the other day at the mall we caught her trying to scale the glass wall on the 2nd floor that over looks the first floor.
But.....then there are those times that she comes up to me, hugs my leg and looks up at me with the big blue eyes and says, "I wove you Mommy." I know that she's probably just gearing up for her next mischievous adventure but for those for moments she's my little angel again. She is a great big sister and amazes us with how intelligent she is.
I love you Jayla, and I'll keep telling myself that she could be worse.


Crashing after getting too little sleep!! Notice that she's refusing to wear pants...I guess they are optional around the house.


Playing in the rain!!


And on a side note...Taliyah is learning to roll over!!! She can make it but her arm gets stuck under her...give her a few more days and she'll be doing it like a champ!

Who's Who?



Here is a picture of Jayla and Taliyah at the same age in the same outfit....Can you tell who is who?!

Taliyah is on the top and Jayla is on the bottom. Let's hope Taliyah gets Jayla's curls!!
