Taysia Brianne - 3 months old!

Taysia Brianne - Week 13

Taysia does a lot of babbling. She is now having conversations and babbling in complete sentences. We don’t know what she’s talking about but she seems to get a kick out of herself. She has laughed a few times. Taysia’s hair is getting longer on the top and we have started wearing it curly, but her hair is so soft and fine that it usually lays down by the end of the day.

Taysia Brianne - Week 12

Wow, this week has just flown by. Seems like Taysia gets bigger and heavier every day. She looks like a baby now instead of a newborn. Her hair is starting to fill in on top and it’s not so uneven anymore. We even got a Cupie curl today - well, maybe not an actual curl, but we’re working on it.

Taysia Brianne - Week 11

Taysia has become very interested in the dogs lately and likes to sit and watch them. Kira adores Taysia and we have to be careful not to leave her within Kira’s reach or else Taysia will get a bath from Kira. She is more and more interactive. She loves to watch Scott, and when he looks at her she will give him a big smile.

Taysia Brianne - Week 10

My little girl just might be starting to teeth! Already! Taysia’s been acting like she doesn’t feel super good. She’s been drooling a lot. She chews on her fist and sucks on my shoulder. She also rubs her tongue against her gums in the front and she hasn’t wanted her binkie in days. We’ll have to wait to see if we see if any teeth come in.

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.
