Taryne's 2 week birthday...

So today Taryne is officially 2 weeks old. I hate to sound like a broken record, but really, where did the time go? I can't believe she is already 2 weeks old! With the exception of 1 day, she has been an excellent baby. She hardly cries and she sleeps well.

Each day has been a learning experience and each day we get to know her so much better. She definitely has her parent's stubbornness. I originally had planned to not breastfeed, but ultimately decided to give it a try. So far the experience as a whole has been good. At times, it is a battle of wills between Taryne and I. However, so far, I have proven to be more stubborn than Taryne and each day she is getting better. Thanks goodness!

Note to future parents: never stand directly behind a baby's behind while changing....(current parents probably already know this...) While changing Taryne the other day, Kyle and I were standing on Taryne's side (the changing pad is on the dresser and to stand on the rear end side would be on the end of the dresser, not her side) and as soon as we got the clean diaper under her behind she started sneezing....and poop shot 3-4 feet away onto the wall and the diaper genie. Besides being a mess, we laughed our rears off.

It is amazing to watch her change each day. We have not weighed her since her last appointment, but we know she is growing. We noticed the other day that she is already longer (taller) because she was stretched out in her crib and there was less space between her and the sides of the crib compared to when we first brought her home. She is smiling more every day and it is just fun to watch her facial expressions. I wish I knew what she was thinking when she makes some of those faces!

Here are a few pics from this week...

This has to be one of my favorites.....

And here is Taryne all decked out for the Aggie game....

Taryne finally got to meet her Uncle Josh this weekend. He is in town for the weekend and he went to watch the Ags BTHO UAB! The Ags are off to a great start this season and we are excited that the game next weekend against Arkansas is on TV. We will finally be able to see the Ags play and not just listen to the game on the radio.

Yesterday was Taryne's first trip outside (besides doctor appointments) the house...or away from the house. Taryne and I went up to work to celebrate Cory and Michelle's birthdays and then we visited Kyle for lunch. After lunch, we went to Target to pick up a few things. To my surprise, she either slept or was content the entire time! No fussiness at all!! She is going to spoil me and then one day she is just going to let loose in a store....

Well, she is sleeping...I guess I should take the chance and get a little rest. Until next time...Gig'em!
