The Taylor Family Life

Dr. Appointment

We had Jana's 15 month check up, even though she is almost 17 months. Our doctor use to have two clinics and now only has one. It took us a while to get in to the doctor.

She is doing great! She is healthy and strong.

Jana is 35 inches tall, the 99% for her age
and 29 lbs, the 96%

She is the same height as the average size 27 month old. She is one tall girlie. We are in size 2T clothes and wearing a size 7 shoe.

I must also say that I am really excited taht I will be starting to take her to nursery this week! I have to stay with her for the first month but I am excited to go.

Halloween

We went to "The Square" by our house and went trick or treating. It was fun to see Jana get the hang of it. She would get her first piece of candy, she wouldn't let go of it until we were at the next place. Then she would put htat piece in her bag and get another piece. Danniqa was so good to help out. But I found out it is a lot of work to take a little one trick or treating.

Then we went and did a few houses in our neighborhood. Then it was time to take Danniqa over to her mom's house so she could spend some time with them. Then we went and hung out at Grandma & Grandpa's house for a while. Then we went home and went to bed.

It was a great day and very fun to watch the girls go trick or treating.

teeth

Jana got her two bottom molars during the second week of October. It wasn't much fun and I think she is starting to get her eye teeth.

Bad Day

Tuesday October 30 was a very bad day. We had gotten in from Denver the night before and had dropped Kevin off at work. Then we had to get up in the morning and go pick him up. Of course it was the one day my daughter decided to sleep in and I had to wake her up.

We got home from picking up Kevin and started getting ready for work. I left at 8 am and worked until about 11:30. I walked in and Kevin went to sleep for a couple of hours. I was only home for about 2 1/2 hours. I was trying to multi task and get some work and home things done while still having little girl around. She went downstairs and I didn't think much about it. Then I realized it had been to quiet for to long. I went downstairs and what did I see. A little girl with a marker and a big smile for me. I was not pleased.

Luckily it was washable and came off the wall and book fairly easily.

Then she proceeded to throw many things away that should not have been thrown away. I hate having to dig things out of the garbage can. After doing that and feeding her some lunch... she proceeded to dump sweet and sour pork on my couch. Mom had, had it! I picked her up and took her up to her crib. Mom needed a break, and I needed to clean up the mess without her making another mess.

So I cleaned and then cooled down for a while. During which time she was crying the whole time. When I went and got her after 15 minutes. At which time I found that her leg was stuck in the railings. I felt like a bad mom.

We then went downstairs and played for 30 minutes so that I would like my daughter again. Then it was time to go back to work.

I headed out and got home at 5pm. Kev laided back down, I feed little girl, bathed her and got her in bed. Then went back to working again until 9:30pm. Then I worked on house things like menus until 11pm. Then little girl woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep until midnight.

Basically it was a very long and miserable day. But I do like my daughter again. :)

Denver

On October 28 Jana and I headed out to see my sister! I was so excited to go and see her. Her family moved to Denver a few months ago. So we got there on Sunday about noon. We hung out and just sat and talked for a lot of it. It was nice just to be with them.

Her is Jack reading before bed to the girlies.

Baby Nora! She is so cute!

Bath time

Aunt Sausha playing with Jana

Nora sleeping. Jana obviously hasn't been around a lot of babies. The one she has been around is Jake recently. It was pretty funny as Jana kept calling Nora, Jake. It was pretty funny.

Then on Monday before we went to the airport we went and played at a park. The girls were so cute adn played really well.

It was so great to go and see them. I hope to make it out there often.

Spooktacular

Oct 27th

Danniqa had her Spooktacular Ice skating show. She has been practicing in class. She got to wear her dopey costume and did a great job.

We had some popcorn that night. It had green food coloring on it. :) Jana loved it.

Danniqa's routine.

Halloween party

Oct 27th

Grandma LeeOra throws a Halloween Party every year! It is always so much fun. Grandpa was gone to Canada this year because Jenny got baptized. But we had fun hanging out, eating yummy soup Grandma made and doing pumpkins.

Jana LOVES playing out in the yard. Grandma has little plastic animals around. She gathered them all up.

Most of us did pumpkin tattoos instead of carving them. Much better.

So there were some other kids there and they were much smaller but the mom's were having people use hand sanitizer and were very careful with there kids. My daughter... playing in rocks and eating dirt. :)
