He's crawling! He's crawling! And I've got proof!!!!!

Random pics of Taygen at 5 months old.

Me, trying to give him kisses.

He's always trying to reach for the camera. Little stinker.

It's hard to get a good family picture where we all look good.



He is a hard one to let you give him kisses.

Precious moment!

Lately Taygen has been sleeping horribly. He will wake up like 7 times a night and only two of those times are to eat. The other times are to move him to a different position because he still wants to be swaddled. So, I decided today that if I could get him to not want to be swaddled, then he could get into any position he wanted all by himself without having to wake me up. So, today was my first attempt. I laid him in his crib with a comfortable blanket under him and one thin one on top of him. Then I left the room. He talked to himself and spit for like half an hour before he cried for about five minutes and then..... there was silence! I went in to check on him since I was very surprised to hear nothing, and he was sound asleep. He had pulled the comfy blanket that was under him all around his upper body for comfort, as if I was holding him. It was so cute I had to take a couple of pictures. I hope I can get him to be a better sleeper because some days I feel like a walking zombie. lol.

Such an angel.

Look how his arms are holding the blanket close to his face in his sleep. lol.

Lunch at Wingers

Today Rachel, Brian, Victoria, and Allison are headed back to California. I am so sad to see them go. We went to lunch in Spanish Fork to Wingers with Rachel, Brian, Victoria, Allison, Me, Aaron, Taygen, Brett, Marie, Mike, Hyrum, Elaina, and Kate. It was so good to catch up with our old friend Marie and her family. Taygen loved her older kids who entertained him at my house. We miss you Rachel, Brian, Victoria, and Allison.

Left to Right Rachel, Marie, and Me.

Brian, Rachel, Victoria, and baby Allison visiting.

On Monday my sister Rachel and her husband Brian and their daughters Victoria and baby Allison came to visit our family in Utah. We had so much fun yesterday visiting temple square. We watched the Joseph Smith movie and thankfully both babies behaved very well. Grandma Linda entertained Allison some of the time and Taygen watched the movie most of the time and then fell asleep. I would definately recommend this movie to anyone who has not seen it. It will boost your testimony of Joseph Smith so much. And I want everyone to know that I do know with all my heart that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true, Joseph Smith was and is a true prophet of God, Jesus Christ did in fact come to this earth and die for us, and I know that families can be together forever and I am sooooo thankful for that because I love my whole family so much.

This is my sister Rachel and her daughter Allison and me and Taygen.

I usually wouldn't say that any baby is close to the cuteness of Taygen but, I'm going to have to make an exception for Allison. She is such a beautiful little girl.

Taygen's new favorite toy!

This is Taygen's new jumper that we bought him tonight. We put him in it and he loves it. I didn't expect him to like it so much. When we finally took him out of it after about an hour, he started crying, but, it was bedtime.

He had the time of his life.

He loves his new toy

The flash on the camera kept surprising him. lol.

He had so much fun in it.
