Once upon a Christmastime......


sweet baby girl

Christmas Dresses

My good friend Amber's Mom sent the girls these dresses when Taylor was born. They are just adorable and I have been waiting since them for them to be able to wear them! Thank you Mrs. Smith :).

Sista Love
Taylor is super happy
Cheese!

PS- I am SO glad I took these before church. While in the nursery at church, Taylor had a huge blowout and let us just say I have had to wash the dress several times for it to make it through. Why is it the kids get so, so, so dirty? Bailey had hers all sticky from some food?

Taylor 7 months ( a tad late)

On Taylor's 7 month birthday she got to celebrate it with most of the Cellon clan. We had a double celebration as it was cousin Alice's 10 month Birthday! How precious these baby girls are. We stayed in a cabin in Georgia for Thanksgiving and it was great to be able to read, relax, watch football, roast smores and hot dogs, color and overall just hang out with family. Thank you Papa and Grammie for inviting us!

Taylor: In one word, I would describe you as sweet. You are easy going and lovable. You smile at everyone!
At 7 months you:
-sleep from 7pm-6:30am. You still wake up 1-2x/night to eat. You are so busy and distracted during the day that you like to catch up on your nursing at night! Nurses 6-8x/day still.
- eat 1-2x/day baby food. You have eaten sweet potatoes, bananas, prunes, squash, pears, carrots and green beans. Your favorite is sweet potatoes!
- drink your water out of your sippy cup well, much better then your sister!
- can sit with a bunch of toys around you and play alone for a good 15 minutes.
-love it when you big sis pays attention to you.
-would watch Snickers (our cat) all day and talk to him if he would let you.
- wear 6-9 month clothes, but still fit in a handful of your 3-6 month ones
- your hair is starting to come in a little better, but it is so cold out we put a hat on you often!
-take 2 naps a day, a short morning and up to a 3 hour afternoon nap. PRAISE the LORD.
-roll, roll, roll No crawling yet though.
-jibber jabber all day. No intelligible words except maybe dada?
-still allergic to some things. We will visit with the Allergist after Christmas to see what exactly you are sensitive too.

Living Nativity

On Friday night we met up with some good friends and went out to eat to Cracker Barrel and then went to our church to see the Living Nativity. It was literally freezing outside so we didn't linger long, but Bailey seemed to enjoy all the animals.

Baby Jesus. Below Bailey and her friend Jonathan were dancing to music they had playing- it was so very cute, a celebration of Jesus's birth!

Cute as a button.


My Mom gave these fleece's to the girls several months ago and I just love them together!

Go Gators- Beat Alabama.

We took these pics Saturday while the smiles were still on our faces......
Daddy love is the best!


Taylor joined us after her nap looking so precious!

Dress Up with Jace

We had the pleasure of having Jace over for a day, unfortunately because Sydney was in the hospital. Everyone is better now, but I am afraid I will be the one in the hospital after Jace's Daddy sees these pictures :). LOL.

Here is poor Taylor. Bailey kept putting the hat on her head.
Bailey with her Tutu, wings and hat. Jace with his kilt, lunchbox and writer's hat (isn't that a creative manly spin on his outfit!)
SO, so, so, so cute! No worries folks, Jace will surely be a linebacker. His voice already sounds like a 20 year old :)

Jace and Bailey Part 202?

Friends Forever


So, so cute.
No words.

Superwoman!

Children's Museum Fun

A couple weeks ago 3 of my girlfriend's and I all took our own 2 kids to the children's museum in Wilmington. That's right folks. 4 Moms and 8 Kids ranging from 7 weeks-5yr! Military women hear us conquer ;). Bailey had an absolute blast. The only downside was we went late morning, so by 1230 she was D-O-N-E. Nothing a little Sonic drive-thru and Nemo watching in the car home couldn't fix. We will go back I am sure (I think it would be fun to take Taylor to the mall with me and drop Daddy and Bailey off at the museum! Everyone is happy :)).

Jace and Bailey rolling down the road eating and giggling and watching some tunes.
Sweet Taylor and Sweet Sydney.
Bailey shopping away. These are the only types of eggs she will be getting her hands on anytime soon!
