June 21, 2008 - BEFORE

June 24, 2008 - It finally happened...we got big girl underpants --- Disney Princesses to be exact. As you can see, Aniston was very excited to finally have them.....
...really, really excited! It was an awesome day. We had a couple accidents, but after a couple hours (literally) on the potty, we had success and I was so proud! I brought her little potty into the living room as we watched Cinderella AND Aladdin...and there you go! Aniston got really excited from my excitement for her great achievement. We called Daddy and told him about her accomplishment. After talking with Daddy, we called both Grandma's and Aniston told them what she did. Good job bug!!
June 20, 2008 - Aniston was playing with her Elmo sprinkler and laughing like crazy. I wish that I could forever imprint the sound of her laugh in my mind and never forget how sweet she is!
June 20, 2008 - Happy ONE month birthday Tylar! I can't believe she has been with us for an entire month. I/We love, love, love our little Tylar Grace! We are so blessed to have these girls!

June 19, 2008 - Grandma Annie got this great swimming pool thing for the kids to play in. Aniston's fearless nature of yester-year is somewhat gone. After slipping in the water, she was super apprehensive about getting in again, but overcame her fears and had an awesome time playing with Aunt Kylee.
She is so crazy cute! Our little bug is growing up and I am trying to soak up every second!
June 19, 2008 - Grandma Annie definately has the touch. Tylar could not have been more content.
After getting a LITTLE bit wet, Aniston wanted to go home and get a new shirt. Instead of going all the way home to get a new shirt, we just took it off and she played in her swimming suit and had a blast!

June 18, 2008 - What a lovely hat . Don't you think?
June 18, 2008 - Summer is almost/finally here. Aniston was so excited to finally get in her swimsuit and put on "ice cream" (sunscreen). When we finally got over to the neighbors to play with kids and go "swimming," Aniston spent most of the time just watching the others but had a great time!
June 12, 2008 - Best buds! Grandpa Craig and Aniston were playing chalk and loving it!
June 11, 2008 - Tylar and Aniston just hanging out together.
Is that your nose?!?

June 11, 2008 - The Sorensen girls...super cute!

June 7, 2008 - Tylar loves her bath...most of it. She loves the warm water and then things kind of turn down hill. By the time we get to the "lotion" stage, she is screaming bloody murder. At this point in the bathing process, however, she was just looking super cute!

June 7, 2008 - Mommy's little helper. Tylar's umbilical cord finally fell off on her 3 week birthday.

June 7, 2008 - Tylar (kind of) enjoying her bath.

June 6, 2008 - Boston, Jade, and Tylar Sorensen - It is amazing what a couple of months/weeks can do. Although all three of these Sorensen cousins will be in the same year of school, right now they are very different in size. Boston is 7/8 months old, and Jade is 15 days older than Tylar.
June 4, 2008 - We were watching "So you think you can dance" and Aniston thought that her dolls definately could....look at them go!

June 4, 2008 - The best $10 I have ever spent! Before Daddy got home from work, Aniston and I spent hours playing play-dough. She was super excited to show Daddy the octopus, turtle, sea horse, and numerous other creatures you can create.
June 3, 3008 - Our sweet little Tylar!
June 3, 2008 - Dental hygiene is very important to Aniston...
...and Woofy!
June 1, 2008 - FREEDOM!!! I am William Wallace....I mean Aniston Claire Sorensen.

May 31, 2008 - Reverently, Quietly...Tylar was chosen to be the "Reverent Child" in church. She was practicing and it looks like she knows what she is doing.

May 31, 2008 - Here is our little birdie....adorable!

May 31, 2008 - At lunch Aniston put a piece of turkey on her nose and kept saying that she was a birdie. It was so funny because Aniston thought she was hilarious...which she was!

Aniston kept trying to look at her new birdie nose...she makes us laugh EVERYDAY!

May 31, 2008 - Grandpa took Aniston on a ride...she loved it! Thanks Grandpa Craig for your concern for us and your help! I know that Grandpa Craig will always be there for us for anything...thanks!
WAHOO!

May 31, 2008 - Austin, my dad (Grandpa Craig), and Aniston spent Saturday morning "cleaning" our dirt. They cleared out all of the debris, rock, and cement from our yard before our sprinklers are to be installed. It looks like the landscaper will be installing our sprinklers next week (cross your fingers)...hooray!

May 31, 2008 - Grandpa Craig was helping Aniston hammer the dirt clumps. Aniston loves playing with Grandpa Craig....and the feeling is DEFINATELY mutual!

May 30, 2008 - Great Grandma and Grandpa Collard came by our home to meet their fourth great grand-baby. We are so blessed to have such an amazing family and amazing examples to follow.
May 30, 2008 - I had my first day completely solo on May 29th. Austin went back to work on Tuesday (May 27) so my mom came and helped me out. (Thanks Mom!) Annie, Austin's mom, came on Wednesday (May 28) to relieve me. (Thanks Annie!) Thursday (May 29) was all me...and it was exhausting. It was the first day since Tylar's arrival that I was trying to go without pain medication. The combination of no pain medication, trying to entertain my two year-old, and taking care of Tylar (our bottomless pit...which is great!) resulted in a VERY TIRED mommy. Needless to say, after my first solo day, mom arrived the following day to save me. She came by around 11:00 am and was only going to stay for a couple of hours.....she made it home around 8:30 that evening. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
May 30, 2008 - I got all the baby bows out for little Tylar, but as you can see, Aniston is getting more use out of them...ALL of them. GORGEOUS!

May 29, 2008 - No outfit is complete without the proper hat...thanks Aniston!

May 29, 2008 - More pictures of our little Tylar


May 29, 2008 - Tylar looks a little nervous, "Umm, I'm not sure that bow will match."

May 29, 2008 - This little onesie is a tribute to Austin's love of baseball. Plus, I think she looks pretty darn cute as well.


May 29, 2008 - Aniston's "mothering" insticts have really come out since baby Tylar's arrival. Here I found her getting her animals ready for a nap.
May 29, 2008 - When I was done cleaning up, I went into the baby's room to find Aniston taking care of her animals' diaper needs. She had placed each animal in a diaper and then for good measure put extra diapers on top....just in case of leakage.
May 28, 2008 - Although Aniston looks a little crazy in this picture, I wanted Brooke to see that Aniston finally decided to wear her Princess jammies. Brooke got Aniston and her cousin Alli matching princess jammies months ago, and for whatever reason, Aniston has been nervous to wear them. She loved playing with them and putting them on her animals, but wouldn't wear them. She has now conquered her fear of the princess jammies and loves to wear them...thanks Aunt Brooke!
