Taysia Brianne - Week 21

Taysia wants to roll over from her back to her tummy but hasn’t quite figured it out yet. She loves to get strapped into her car seat because she knows we’re going somewhere. She loves to go shopping and I carry her in the carrier on my chest. Taysia has discovered my mouth and likes putting her hand on my mouth so I will kiss it.

Taysia’s cousin got her the little cheerleading outfit from the dollar store. My sister ironed a "Y" on it and we have an instant BYU fan! Notice how Taysia hold’s up her finger as if to say "#1." (Of course, Scott’s wishing the outfit was red - LOL.)

Taysia Brianne - Week 20

Taysia has started grabbing the keyboard when we’re using the computer. She’s getting a lot better at grabbing toys and bringing them to her mouth. Taysia also likes to look at the TV remote. It won’t be long before she’s getting into everything.

Taysia Brianne - Week 19

Taysia loves Alaska and Kira and gets a kick out of them when they bark or "talk." She will even sit and watch them for some time, waiting for them to make a noise. I took her out in the stroller for the first time this week and she loved it.

Grandpa's Pumpkins

Every year my dad grows these huge pumpkins for Halloween. He tries to grow a pumpkin for every grandchild to take home. We had to take pictures with Taysia and Grandpa’s pumpkins. Taysia was in a mellow mood today and we didn’t really get any smiles out of her, but she sure enjoyed the pumpkins, seeing the colors and touching the textures. She really liked the pumpkin stems.

Taysia Brianne - Week 18

Taysia has become very interested in what I eat and drink. She likes to drink a little water from a cup. She also likes to giggle and play. Taysia throws out her legs and arches her back to get a reaction from me, and then giggles when I act surprised. She has a thing with her finger lately where she points her finger and then studies it closely. This week Taysia also turned four months old.

Taysia Brianne - Week 17

Taysia is getting so big! Seems like every time I pick her up she seems taller or heavier. And she’s also getting very active. Taysia is very sweet and sometimes likes to just sit back in my arm and "talk" to me.

Taysia Brianne - Week 16

Taysia scrunches up her nose when she smiles and acts shy if you look at her and smile. Taysia has just discovered the joy of blowing raspberries and has become quite proficient at it. She’s enjoys playing on her own a lot more lately and sometimes gets bored just sitting on my lap.

Inspired

Last week our sister-in-law was kind enough to take Taysia’s three-month-old pictures. Becky has a nice digital SLR camera, some backgrounds, and some fun props. We are still waiting until we get together to see the pictures, but I’m sure they are beautiful! Meanwhile, I was inspired by Becky and caught the bug and decided to try and set up my own little photo studio in Taysia’s bedroom. Taysia was tired and didn’t really want to do photos today, and this is the best shot I got.

Taysia Brianne - Week 15

Taysia has started laughing when I clap for her. She likes it so much she watches my hands very carefully when I use the hand sanitizer, hoping for a clap or two. She likes to play boo with the dogs, and giggles every time.

Taysia had been sleeping in an old car seat and it was really helping a lot with the reflux. A few days ago she starting rolling over in that car seat and now we’ve got to figure something else out. She was doing really well with the reflux, but now that we have moved her to the bassinet she has started coughing and wheezing and having trouble sleeping again. Poor girl.

Taysia has started doing several new things this week. She figured out that if she kicks in her bouncer or car seat her toys move. She rolled over from her tummy to her back this week. And she also brought a toy to her mouth that she was grasping in her hand. Taysia also turned three months old this week.
