Eden - Seven Months

This sweet girl has etched a place in all of our hearts! She brings so much joy into our family. The kids love that she is becoming much more interactive. She loves her brother and sister! They are both great helpers. Taelee thinks she is mommy number 2 and we have had to reiterate multiple times that I am the only one allowed to get her out of her crib if she is crying! She scoots and rolls, and is definitely mobile, but hasn't grasped the crawling motions yet. I am really ok with that. She can stay my teeny tiny forever!

 Not sure where this blonde hair and blue eyes came from, but I think we'll keep her! It sure is strange seeing the dramatic contrast between the dark brown eyes and hair to the bright blue and blonde. 

Play Time

I feel like we post so much, but Taelee does new things all the time that we think are so great. We just want everyone to see them. It's so great being home with Taelee. It is so fun to watch her grow. She is so entertaining, she makes us laugh every day. We can only imagine what's in store for us when she is walking and talking. We love her so much, and feel blessed to have such a great baby!

We got these new doors for our entertainment unit and they show Taelee's reflection. She was crawling around one day and noticed it. She of course had to stop and give kisses.

We think Taelee is so smart. She is saying mamma and dadda (not necessarily to the right person), and she will do patty cake if you ask her or start singing. She is so adorable!!!

Sorry I don't know why they are blurry, they weren't before I loaded them!!!

Pretty Pink Toes

Whitney decided to paint Taelee's toes for the first time. She didn't squirm too much, but she kept reaching for the polish container (she is so curious). The only hard part was trying to get a good picture, she wouldn't hold her feet still for the camera.

Oh so pretty!

Splash Time

Taelee loves her bath and now she is getting so big she doesn't use her seat anymore. We sit her up in the tub and lay her down to wash her hair so soap doesn't get in her eyes. She has always been a good kicker and has always splashed in the tub, but last night she had it all. She discovered that when she kicked water would fly everywhere and it would make mommy laugh. It was very entertaining.

This was mommy afterwards

We are finally getting this posted, sorry for the delay. We are in our new house and finally have time and access to the internet.
The Days of 47 Parade

We took Taelee to the days of 47 parade for Pioneer day. The main reason we went was so we could see the prophet, and Taelee really liked the parade in Disneyland so we thought she would also like this one. It was really fun seeing the prophet driving in his car, although Taelee hadn't a clue as to what was going on we were really glad that we could share it with her.

It was very bright
Taelee saw our prophet, President Monson

Taelee's First visit to Temple Square
After the parade we took Taelee to Temple Square. We had lots of fun showing her the temple and the Christus. We also went and saw the Joseph Smith movie. Every time we see that movie it reminds us of how blessed we truly are. We are so grateful to be members of the Church and are grateful that we get to raise Taelee in the Gospel.

This is Whitney's favorite picture

During the movie Taelee fell asleep and after the movie we put her back in her stroller. She put her leg up...just kicking back and relaxing!!!
Taelee really likes grass


Taelee loves water so she really enjoyed the big fountain at temple square
I love to see the Temple

Pioneer Day

Taelee on the Move

Taelee is SO close to crawling (we think it will happen really soon), but in the mean time she rolls everywhere. The other day she was playing on the floor and ended up across the room. She somehow got under our chair. She then proceeded to roll in between the chair and the table. She was quite proud of herself until she realized she couldn't go any further. We're still not sure how she got under there!

Our Happy Little Baby

Taelee has been liking peek-a-boo lately, and it tickles us when she laughs so much.

Taelee was being really silly the other night and we had to catch it on video. Stephen was feeding her cereal and she was getting really excited. (Whitney didn't approve of the mess he made all over her face, but it was really funny)
