Well Baby

Taylor had her 2 month "Well Baby" pediatrician appointment today. She had to get her first shots and she was SO tough! Much tougher than I was. I made John come with me because I knew I wouldn't be able to watch (I'm not very good with needles!). She cried a little bit but it didn't last very long. What a good baby!

She is now 9lbs 8oz and 22-3/4 inches long. She has gained 19oz and grown 2-1/4 inches in the past month. She is now in the 25th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for height. The doctor was amazed at how strong she is. Everything else looked great and she doesn't have to go back until 4 months!

Halloween

We had a great Halloween! Taylor was the cutest bunny ever and John and I raided our closets and came up with a couple of last minute costumes (we didn't have much time to be creative this year!). I was a softball player and John was John Daly (the golfer). We went to a party at Kole and Shannon's new house and had a great time! (Thanks guys!) Taylor was a trooper and slept the entire time. She's such a good baby!

Sweet Little Bunny

Thanks Kole and Shannon for the bib ("I Love My Mummy...and Mummy Loves Me")
and Thanks to Uncle Kelly for the cute Halloween slippers!

Happy Baby...

Here's a few new pics/videos of our little Taylor Grace. She's growing up SO fast! She's a very happy baby and loves to smile and talk to us. She's so much fun! There's nothing better than a baby's smile! She's been sleeping 6 hours the last two nights. That makes for a happy baby and happy parents! Hopefully it continues. :)

Sara likes Taylor's play mat too!

Here's a couple of videos of Taylor talking and smiling. Enjoy!

1 Month Old!

Our little baby is 1 Month Old already! Wow...Time flies! She's doing great and is such a wonderful baby! We're so blessed. She had a pediatrician appt yesterday and she had gained 7 ounces in 7 days. She's now 8lbs 5oz. Yay baby! She's doing great and doesn't have to go back for another month (for her 2 month appt.) Whew!

Baby's First Hike

John and I took Taylor for her first hike on Thursday. We went to Roxborough State Park which is south of Denver in Littleton. It's one of our favorite places. The fall colors were absolutely gorgeous and it was so great to be outside. We went on a 1.5 mile hike and Taylor did great! We saw a bunch of deer. Most of them were right off the trail and were not at all concerned with us. We saw the bucks in the last pic on our way out of the park. There were 8 of them all laying together but we saw about 20 total. We were a little nervous on our hike because we saw a ton of bear poop along the trail but thank goodness we never saw any. It's crazy how much your perspective changes when you have a baby. Last time we were there a couple of black bears had been spotted on the same trail that we had just been on and we were bummed that we missed them. This time we wanted nothing to do with them.

Gettin' ready for her first hike!

First Bath

Taylor had her first "real" bath earlier this week. As you can tell she wasn't real excited about it!

Busy Little Girl

All is well at the Ainsworth's! Taylor is doing great and changing every day. She's such an amazing baby. We're so blessed!! I can't believe that she is almost a month old already. It's crazy! Time is flying by.

At her 2 week checkup she wasn't gaining weight as fast as they would like so the dr. increased her feeding schedule to every 2 hours (it's a full time job!) and we went back to supplementing with formula at every feeding. After that she gained 3 oz in 3 days so we were very happy with that. That put her at 7lbs 14oz (almost back up to her birth weight). We're still following the same schedule and have another weight check on Friday so hopefully she has gained more weight so we can be done with that place for awhile. It's been a little overwhelming with all the dr. visits.

We've been very busy since Taylor arrived and seems like we're constantly running. We've had something going on almost every day. It's so nice to have such a good baby that we can take anywhere and not have to worry about it. Taylor had her first stroller outing last weekend. We met my cousin and his fam in Boulder for Oktoberfest. It was a beautiful day and perfect for walking around Pearl Street for the afternoon. Last Wednesday, Taylor got to meet all of the members of our small group (through church). She enjoyed being passed around and held by everyone. This past weekend our good friends Kole & Shannon had us over to their new house for brunch. Thanks! You guys are awesome and we love your new house! On Sunday we took Taylor to her first church service. It was really loud but she did great and slept through most of it. We spent the rest of Sunday at John's aunt and uncle's house as his cousin, Jodi was in town from Corvallis, OR. It was great to see her and it was her bday so we got to help her celebrate. We don't have too much planned for this week so hopefully we can spend a few nights at home relaxing. We haven't done a lot of that lately.

Here's some pics from the past week or so. Enjoy!!!
