Taygen - 23 weeks old
Practicing sitting up on her own.
Our ward had an activity where we invited the local firefighters so that we could thank them with applause and cheers, hand-made notes, and dinner and treats. They brought their fire engines and let the kids explore them a bit. It was pretty cool.
Taygen, all dolled up for church. This cute dress was given to her from Liz.

More sitting up practice.
Neither of my babies have really loved the whole eating experience. These are some first attempts at baby food.

It took a long time before Taygen enjoyed bath time. It took a great deal of coaxing and distracting. She did not love the newborn sponge baths, we finally got her used to the baby tub, but then she hated the transition to just being in the sink. So, I copied an idea I saw someone post online, and we put an empty laundry basket in the bathtub so she could sit up and have some sides/handles to hold on to. This finally worked, and we are still using it as I write this post (almost 17 months old). She is finally getting to where she will want to play with bath toys and splash around of her own free will. She'll even allow water on her face without having a panic attack. Whew!
I love this photo of her (above), because for a while there, getting out was her favorite part. And seriously, who doesn't love a cute squeaky clean, smellin' wonderful, roly-poly baby wrapped up in a hoody towel?
