taylor has a new cousin..... Reagan James!

Reagan was born this morning to my twin sister Jamie and Jim. She weighed in at 7.1lbs this afternoon at 1:03pm (EST). Jamie was induced at 6:30 am, so it's a blessing that it didn't take all day!!

Baby Reagan!

Jamie and Reagan! Both looking beautiful!

visit from aunt jane!

My aunt Jane came to visit this week! We have LOVED having her here. She and Taylor have been super busy playing, reading and going on walks! Here are some pictures of her visit! Tay and Jane getting a picture... it didn't quite work out

A new family picture!

In our jammies!

Jane and Taylor played outside when the wind wasn't blowing them over!

Taylor playing with our glasses! She's a hoot.

Cheesin for the camera!

handy joe!

we had a water leak in Taylor's bathroom a few weeks ago. As a result, Joe cut a hole in the wall to find the problem. After a plumber came to fix the problem.... we still had a big hole in the wall or as Taylor liked to say "wall has owey!" So Joe, with a little help from our friend Rob, fixed the wall! See the before and after pictures! I think this should be Joe's new side business, don't you!?!!

Great Job Joe!

Taylor bug after a shower! In her super cute jammies from Auntie Beth!

This is a strange picture for anyone who doesn't know how little Taylor eats. She actually finished ALL her cereal and orange juice!

Brian, Ashton, Cheyanne and Erin Petty came over for a nice dinner on Saturday! Everyone says Taylor and Cheyanne look like sisters! Here's a good picture of the two!

knock knock.....

So, I had this really cute dialogue with Taylor on the way to school this morning. She has known her last name for awhile now, but just made the connection about the rest of her family....

Me- Knock knock
Tay- Who’s there?
Me- Taylor
Tay- Taylor?

Me- Knock Knock
Tay – Who’s there?
Me- Taylor STARKEY
Tay- Taylor Starkey??

------------------------

Tay – Knock knock
Me – Who’s there?
Tay- Mommy Starkey!

Tay – Knock Knock
Me – Who’s there?
Tay – Daddy Starkey

Tay – Knock Knock
Me- Who’s there?
Tay – OTIS Starkey!

(* Otis is Mamaw's (Joe's mom) dog!)

She is so funny and at such a great age right now! We are 95% potty trained and super excited about the cost savings there! She is also really into airplanes and babies... weird combination, I know. She is also all about a DVD I picked up at Big Lots one day randomly. It's called Koala Brothers and it's about two brothers in Australia who help people and fly around in their airplane all day! It's cute and at least it gives us a break from her Dora obsession for a while!
Have a great day! Love, Katie
