Taysia - Week 9

Taysia is very active and aware. She usually has her arms and legs going when changing her diaper. She can’t sleep when we go to Grandma’s because she’s too busy watching everybody. Taysia doesn’t want to miss out on anything. We also celebrated Taysia’s two-month birthday this week.

Daddy's Girl

Daddy dressed Taysia today. I thought it was so sweet that Scott picked out that outfit because it said "Daddy’s Little Girl" on the front. Nope. He said he picked it out because it was Utah Jazz colors.

Taysia Brianne - Week 7

This week Taysia has become aware of her toys and likes to look at them during diaper changes. She also imitates me sticking out my tongue. Taysia found her hand for the first time this week, too. The books say she can only see 12 inches at this age, but I don’t believe it because she can see and follow us across the room. We don’t really let her, but she tries to watch TV while drinking her bottle. The reflux is getting a little better each week as we are learning to manage it.

Taysia Brianne - Week 6

Lately Taysia has been going through a naked baby phase. She has always been a warm little baby and lately with the weather heating up she usually prefers to be naked. She is always happy in the morning and smiles at me every day.

The reflux continues to get a little better. Some of it is just that we are getting better at managing it. I spoke with a friend earlier this week who had a baby that had reflux for nine months before her little body got mature enough. I really think at this point we need to take the approach of learning how to live with it instead of just surviving, and managing it instead of just waiting for it to pass.

Grateful

Today I am grateful for being infertile. If it were not for my infertility I would not be holding THIS beautiful sleeping little girl in my arms. We would not have been able to meet our courageous birth mom and would not have learned from her unselfish love. Scott and I wouldn’t be as close, as our relationship wouldn’t have grown as strong without the heartache and the joy. Today I am grateful.
