our little model

Here are some of her newborn pictures, she was 5 days old when these were taken. it was so much fun and i think she did a pretty good job for her first photo shoot ;)












about tayz

well for starters she looks JUST like jori...poor girl haha just kidding. Seriously though, every little thing she does is exactly like jori. I wanted a girl because i figured she WOULDNT be just like jori, but no...even having a girl she manages to do every facial expression and tantrum, just like her daddy ;)

..she even sleeps like her dad(snoring!!)

I look at her every detail trying to find one thing that she got of mine, and we came to the conclusion she is ALL jori...except for maybe her cute little asian eyes!

darci made this dress for tayz. i love it, and am definitely going to need to order some more stuff from her!
I dont think words can explain how much i love this picture. i guess you just have to be a mom to fully understand.

Tayzli was already trying to hold her head up when she was a week old, im not kidding! she is a tough one. so now, almost being 7 weeks old she can pretty much hold her head up..unless she is really tired. She loves to be bounced, she LOVES to cuddle, she loves when i lay her in my lap so she can kick me, she always has to be touching me (she gets that from jori as well) she has always been a very alert baby. Right after she was born when they put her on my chest she just stared at me and was observing everything around that she could. Only me and jori can get her to smile for now, but its adorable and i cant wait until she does it more!
i HATED being pregnant but she was worth the "weight" ;) i cant believe almost two months ago she was inside me still. i really dont know how she fit cause shes such a monster! being a parent is nothing like i expected...its hard and it takes twice as long for me to do ANYTHING. but having her around is the best thing to happen to me! i love being a mommy!!



time for an update :)

....I dont think I deserve to even have a blog! Wouldn't you agree? haha I WILL do better! I noticed that my last post was BEFORE I had Tayzli...so its time for pictures (cause thats all people really like to see anyways right?)

Although I look extremely tired in this picture, i can't complain at all about my experience. I had a doctors appointment around 10 am just for my regular once a week check-up, i figured the doctor would just give me the same ol boring news..."everything looks fine, we'll see you next week" but it WASNT!!! he checked me, gave me a smile and asked, do you want to have this baby today?... your already 4cm dilated!! first thing i said was NO! then i looked at jori and was like...well yes. but no. haha obviously i was nervous, so the doctor told me if i started feeling contractions to head up to the hospital. I called EVERYONE and my mom headed down to utah within an hour after i called her(gotta love her) so a few hours later my mom and gma get to utah and i hadnt felt anything different but decided i wanted to go up to the hospital anyways. My mom had to take me cause jori was working...but to be honest i didnt think they would keep me at the hospital cause i wasnt feeling any pain. we got to the hospital around 7 30pm and to make a long story short....10 hours later....WE WELCOMED TAYZLI INTO THE WORLD!

7 lbs 11oz 20.5 inches long (shes huge I KNOW)
I only had to push for 45 minutes though and half of that we kinda just sat there cause apparently tayzli wanted to stay in there a little bit longer...so i cant compain at all!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE! My mom had to be back to work in rexburg so they left before i had her, but while i was pushing i noticed jori was on the phone...it was my mom...on her way back to the hospital cause she said she HAD to be there! and im so glad, couldnt have imagined it without her and gma sakota.

Jori helps more than i thought he would, i still have to ASK or TELL him to do things but at least he actually will do...even if it is after the 5th or 6th time asking. haha
Jana Dula and Mikailei came up and spent some time with us too. Dula cracks me up, who woulda thought he was such a softy ;) and jana knows just how to spoil her grandkids...i have a feeling mikailei is going to be doing a lot of spoiling too.
