Getting Big!
Taylor is ten weeks old now, and she is growing like a weed. I put some newborn/0-3 month clothes on her this week, and the pants looked like capris on her little legs. Her cry is changing too. I can tell that it's changing from a newborn cry to a baby cry... if that makes any sense. Taylor is also exercising her vocal chords as much as possible. It looks like she's going to be a talker like her momma!Taylor also hit a milestone today. She rolled over... twice! Being the wonderful mother that I am, I missed both rolls. Both times I laid her on her back on the floor and went into the other room (to answer the door, grab some laundry, etc). I was not gone more than 10 seconds, and both times I walked back into the room to find her on her belly.
Tommy left for a friend's bachelor party today, so he'll be in Sun Valley, Idaho all weekend. Taylor and I have a big weekend planned (although my definition of a "big" weekend is not what it used to be!), starting with Stroller Strides tomorrow morning and including a visit with the Easter bunny at the mall on Sunday.
Taylor has cradle cap, which means her scalp is peeling and she constantly looks like she has dandruff. I bought a special oil to put on her hair - it is supposed to help cradle cap, but I suspect it is just a gimmic to get first-time moms like me to spend money - and I had a little fun while brushing the oil through her hair the other night.

Why is it that little girls look nothing like their mommy's? Sara and Em, you know what I'm talking about!
Last weekend was Tommy's fantasy baseball draft (aka Christmas Day for Tommy). Below are four of the boys getting ready for the big day.
Steve and Ariel Gray came to town for the weekend from Northern California. Steve and Tommy talked baseball; Ariel and I talked baby.
After the six-hour draft ended, Steve and Tommy continued to analyze their picks for hours and hours. Poor Taylor is going to be brainwashed at an early age.
A few pics of my girl on her changing pad...
Check back next week for more... hopefully I'll get a video of Taylor rolling over by then!

She is a DOLL! I loved the video Tommy posted of her talking! So sweet! And you look fabulous! Motherhood suits you well! I'm counting down 4 weeks to go...I'm crossing my fingers for less. :)
She's precious!!!
Taylor just gets cuter and cuter! I love the hairdo shots. She does look a little like you through the eyes I am convinced. Enjoy!
Oh Ali, she is just adorable! I am so glad you decided to start a blog so we can see how much she is changing! I agree, all of your girls definitely take after their daddys so far. Everyone says Isaac looks more like me, so must be opposite for the boys;) We will see if Keaton follows the trend. 1 more day to go!
I think Taylor liked rockin the mohawk, she is smiling big in all of those pictures;)
