"Jump"eroo

I really wish I had a video camera out right now! Kylah taught herself how to actually jump in her jumperoo, rather than just bounce. She's jumping up and down like crazy and smiling from ear to ear! (This means mom can expect a nice long nap soon) :)

Yuck!

I do NOT like squash Mom!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Look at the pretty roses Kylah got from her Dad today! Y

Happy & Healthy Again!

After a full week of being sick, Kylah is happy and healthy again! We are back to trying rice cereal with her - this round went much better than the first. She still wore half of it, but at least she was smiling :)

Sick Baby :(

Unfortunately, Kylah has been pretty sick the past couple of days. If you were to look at her (and listen to her) when she's awake, you'd never know it though. She is seriously the happiest little sick baby we've ever seen! We kept her home from day care today so she doesn't pass the flu around, so we stayed in our pj's all day and hung out.

The Next Stage

Kylah is definitely growing up! She's starting to hold her own bottle once in a while:
Kylah experienced her first round of cereal over the weekend too:

What do you think...did she like it?!

What a day!

A snow storm. Dad left for Vegas. A cold. And 4 month shots at the doctor.

Who knew I could still have so much fun after all that?!

Mom and Dad's pride and joy...

Go Pistons!

Although Dad's in a GVSU sweatshirt, they were cheering for the Pistons. Go Detroit!

Basement Update

Once again, I'm very proud of Craig's hard work and long hours in our basement. It's so exciting to see how far he's gotten, and how close we are to actually being able to enjoy it! The pictures above represent the past few phases he's been through - from painting the ceiling, to priming, painting the walls, cutting/hanging the trim, and finishing the electrical & lighting. As the pictures scroll past, place your mouse over top of them to view the explanation captions. Again - Great Work Craig!!!

Daddy's Little Princess

Typical afternoon activity at the Taetsch's

Kylah loves her Baby Einstien gym, and Riley loves his squeaky ball. So for at least 1 hour every day this is a typical play time activity at our house!

Who's that cute baby in the mirror?

Getting so big!

It's absolutely crazy how fast time flies. Kylah is growing like a weed, and she's getting stronger every day. A good friend of ours, Matt Lefevre, recently worked with us on how to help Kylah start lifting her head more, and learn the motions to roll over. After only a couple of times working with her, she now holds her head up high for extended periods of time on her own. She even rolled over for the first time by herself from her belly onto her back. She hasn't done it again since, but she'll get the hang of it any day now I'm sure. This is such an exciting time for Craig and I as we watch Kylah learn all these fun things!

So Comfy...

Kylah fell asleep in our room today and she looked so cute that I had to take a picture! If only we thought our mattress was as comfy as she does :(
