6 Months Home!
Wow! It is so hard to believe that as of February 26Th we have been back home in Michigan with our baby girl Taylor! It has been the best 6 months of our lives! The transition from Kaz to Michigan was fairly easy, and Taylor has been growing and maturing ever since!
When we first got home, Tay could not do anything but roll over. Soon she started army crawling and by Thanksgiving she was sitting on her own. Come Christmas she was officially crawling, and after the New Year she was walking. Now, we cant keep her still! She is doing amazing. Every day there is a new talent! Take today for instance... she has bent down and picked up items without any assistance, and she can stand up on her own (without using the couch or something for support)!
Taylor has gone from being the almost bald baby when we met her to having a full head of hair that is getting really long! She was about 8 lbs when we met her and as of her 15Th month check up she is 16.5 lbs! Incredible! She still stands very tiny, at only 27.25 inches, but hey, it suits her well! She will always be a tiny girl and the doctors say that she is staying "within her curve." So as long as she is healthy and happy so are we!
Her social skills have been improving as well. She now loves to be around other people, and especially other children. We joined Gymboree in November, but unfortunately they have closed as of this week. We are still in contact with her friends from there, so she will still get time with other children.
Life with Taylor has truly been a blessing. We have not only seen her grow, but have as well!
First full day at home: August 27Th 2007

It has been a joy watching Taylor grow and change since you met her. I can hardly believe you've been home for six months! She's made such amazing progress and is as cute as ever!
She is such a little honey. I'm so glad you still make the time to do updates for us. I know it's not easy having a little one around.
This wait is not easy, so having blogs like yours around reminds us that the wait is worth it.
So glad to see Tiny Taylor getting "not so tiny" and strong. She is so cute!!! Ya'll have done a fantastic job with her. :)
I wish Astana wasn't "closed" for now so we could take the updated pictures for you. :)
After emailing, I thought I'd check for an update! Wow, the pictures show you have a big girl now, not a baby! Looks like Taylor loves boxes just like Matthew!
Bye for now, Jenn
She looks great and so grown up. You guys have done a great job.
She like all children apparently likes boxes? She is such a doll! It is amazing how much they change within a short amount of time with love and stimulation. Looks like you are doing a fantastic job!! Gena
She is getting so big :-)
She is such a doll! I can't believe how big she is getting!
I'm catching up on blogs of families who are home (ya'll don't update as often!). It seems like just yesterday you were getting on a plane! We're still waiting for that elusive LOI - it's been 12 weeks since we got the region assignment.
Tay is so beautiful and I just can't believe how she's grown. And how much she's caught up and run with it - walking already! Enjoy your lovely daughter!
Thanks for the update! Taylor is gotten so big and is such a beautiful little girl!
I did not check your blog in a while and so glad to see updates about Taylor. She is so cute :). I cant believe is more than 6 months now...
