Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!

All of the Taylor children had a great time this year...ok... Jillian really could of cared less and did not enjoy the costume, but Will and Jeanne had enough fun for all 3. Jeanne started out as a fairy, but by Saturday, she informed us that "I not fairy anymore, I am a princess!"

Gigi: "How about a fairy princess, Jeanne?"

Jeanne: "No, just a princess!."

Our hero...flash, you should have seen him go from house to house gathering up candy!

Mommy and Flash at Southwest on Friday. We always go to SWA Headquarters and celebrate Halloween Southwest style with Auntie Caca! This year was as much fun as past years. The kids loved it. Uncle Jeff was a good sport and came along to help me control the chaos.

Jillian is barely holding on here!

Finally got Jeanne to smile after many attempts. Jillian is not enjoying her hat.

Yeah!!! 3 Happy Trick or Treaters!

Will and his buddies hitting the streets!

Getting this pic of the 3 of them was harder then you might think...you see who is the clown here!

Our little ladybug!

Jillian_5 Months

Jillian is loving laying on her tummy. She rolls from one place to another and even tries to scoot around. Uh...oh!
She is not sure why this mini-photo shoot broke out on the couch today, but she is cooperating!

Surprise!

It was a rough day!

My first baby that is not a paci girl...I am trying though:)

Jillian loves her new toy! Daddy put it together this weekend.

Hours of fun and excitement....she is going to get that frog!

Just chillin!

Ahhhh!!!this is so much fun!

Jillian is 5 months old. She is pushing up and likes to play on her tummy now. She smiles all the time and is making lots of noises and sounds. She likes to play with toys and try to hold them. Most of them end up on the floor but she has a good time.
We started eating food this week...well rice cereal...I am not sure if that really qualifies as food..but she will eat it. She is the first of the Taylor kids that will eat it. Will and Jeanne would not even entertain the idea. Further proof that that third one is laid back and just goes with the flow!

The batgirls....Jeanne decided the other day that they both needed to wear their capes. Jeanne is very into playing dress up and assigning roles to everyone within a ten mile radius.
Getting ready to roll....she rolls over and gets from one place to the next by rolling. It is very cute!

Happy girl, having fun in my car! She is already an excellent driver! I wonder what kind of car daddy is going to get her when she turns 16?

This could actually be a picture of Will:)

T- Ball 2009_Go Yankees?

Will is playing T-Ball this spring...most of the time it is pure comedy! He seems to be having a good time and has a pretty good arm. We were a little distressed that he is a Yankee..but we have gotten over it. Uncle Mike even wore a Yankees shirt to one of his games...but Red Sox gear to all the rest! He is a pretty good hitter..but the Tee seems to get in the way!

Pop Pop Taylor and Nana Anne Visit

The kids had a great time with Pop Pop and Nana Anne. They were here for 5 days in September. Will and Jeanne loved having them here and have not stopped talking about it since they left.
Getting a picture of everyone was easier said then done!

Jillian-4 Months

Jilly Bean!

She is very smiley all of the time and has really mellowed. She seems to be the ideal 3rd child. We love having her around. Will and Jeanne are really enjoying her especially as she interacts more!

Jillian is still not a huge fan of the bath...but she is getting to be more comfortable!

Jillian is 4 months old. She has discovered her hands and feet. She is very amused by them. As soon as I lay her down, her feet instantly go up and into her hands. It is pretty funny. She smiles and makes a laughing sound when you talk to her. She is a happy girl.
She loves her Bumbo! The "baby cupholder" the best invention ever. I am sure that mom made a million dollars!

Hello there!

I found my hands and I love them!

Jillian's Baptism

Jillian was Baptised on August 29th. It was a very nice ceremony. Uncle Musca and Aunt Amy were the Godparents. Jillian wore Auntie Jessica's gown and mommy's bonnet and blankie.

We managed to get a picture of the 3 kids.

Jeanne is looking a little bit skeptical of all that is going on, she has the shifty eyes.

Swankie Photo Shoot

Jeanne and Jillian are big fans of Swankie Blankie...and we are very lucky to know the queen of Swankie herself. Actually all of my kids, Will included are Swankie kids. They each have several blankies that they love! Since we have made so many trips to Swankie lately...we decided to do a mini photo shoot with some of the newest Swankie styles for an upcoming show that Susie is showing at. Jillian was a very willing model...she showed off the new giraffe hooded towel and the leopard diaper cover with the hot pink plush stripe blankie. Jeanne was a little harder to get to cooperate..but she was on board with this pic...I think because the blankie was like a cape and she does have a thing for superheroes. I guess we could call her Captain Swankie:)

Jeanne's First Day of School

Jeanne was so excited for her first day of school! She has been dying to go to Apple Creek, where Will went last year. Everyday when we would take Will to school last year she would try and sneak into the classroom and play. She was always so sad that she could not stay. So her turn to go to school was finally here. She got up early on Monday and was ready to go and insisted on walking to school first with Will. She had her back pack on and everything. It was very cute.
She wanted to make sure her princesses on her backpack showed in the pictures. She is hilarious!

Yeah! Playdough..one of her favorite things to do.

Jeanne gets her first day of school pic with daddy too!

She had a great first day! Her teachers are very sweet. There were quite a few tears in the 2 year old class, but not from Jeanne. When Brian and I said goodbye to her, she got freaked out for a minute and then said bye bye and went back to her puzzle she was putting together. Such a big girl.
