Taryn's Half Birthday!

Taryn is 6 months! We cannot believe she is getting so big already. Taryn is super smiley and will still go to whomever wants to hold her. She is sitting up and playing with toys. She loves to sit in front of her bucket of toys and take them out one by one. She plays with one for awhile and then sets it aside and grabs another one. She gets around pretty well with her mean roll but hasn't tried crawling yet. We put her up on all fours and she sinks back to the floor.

She's got this eating thing down and loves it! She enjoys all her veggies and fruits and even impressed the nurse at how well she swallowed her oral shot. At the doctor this month she had to get lots of shots but she kept kicking out of the nurses grip forcing the nurse to have to reset her. By the time she got the shot ready Taryn had kicked out again! Those legs are super strong...we call them thunder thighs! Taryn is always moving even when she is being held. Sometimes it feels like she is going to jump right out of our arms.

Taryn is still having some stomach problems. Her tummy is very weak and can't take more than 4 ounces at a time. If we give her more than that she throws it all up. The poor girl doesn't just throw up she throws up through her nose which is not fun at all! Eating so little at a time means she is not sleeping through the night yet because she is hungry a lot more often. Eating the fruits and veggies is helping a little. Taryn has a voice...well she has always had a voice but she continues to exercise it. She loves to babble and squawk and make whatever sounds she can. Although she is always smiling she still makes you work for a giggle. She makes us laugh and still loves playing with her big sister!
