18 months

I cannot believe I am actually blogging about my baby being 18 months old. She is getting so big, so prissy, and so smart!! She is full of life right now and we absolutely LOVE it!! Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers during her surgery.. she was a little angel and everything went well. God is so good to us!!

Things Tay can do:

completely feed herself (with utensils)

climb onto the couch and get herself back off

get in and out of her wagon all by herself

brush her teeth

repeat abc's and 123's(not say them alone, just repeat them)

get herself into the carseat

color

climb up and down steps

blow bubbles

say her own name

Words/Sentences:

"I got you"

"I love you"

"Fix it mommy"

"Go outside"

"Thank you"

"Daddy golf, Daddy work"

"No, no, Kane!! Get Back"

Taylor can say so many words that she is starting to make sentences with them and put more words together. She can name all our family members, all kids in her class, friends and friend's children, animals, animal noises. She knows what people go together and can name people by looking at pictures. She is starting to say color words and shapes... of course she repeats after me, but she knows!! She loves playing outside almost to the point of destruction. We fight with her every night to come in.. and she cries every time!! I guess it doesn't help that there are windows/french doors all around our house.. she constantly stands there saying "outside". Funny, but true: Taylor is the QUEEN of bubbles. I have never met anyone that was as fascinated with them as Taylor. She calls the clouds bubbles and screams out loud to them in the car!! She is so busy she really never stops to watch tv very long, or listen to a book, or sit and color. She LOVES to dance.... and does it pretty well!! Although she loves all these things, she doesn't SIT very long!! She is truly a gift from GOD and we are so thankful for her everyday!! Her cutest thing at the moment: she tells everyone to sit: Sit momma, sit daddy, sit kane, sit.... whoever is around ... she tries to be the boss. I am teaching her to repeat "I Love You" and do the motions... she says it.. but we almost never get past the first part pointing to our eyes for "I" she starts to name all the other body parts.. and then shouts "you" real loud for the last part. (same thing with abc's.. we have to skip the letter i because she gets side-tracked!!) She is as sassy as they come, but also as rough and tough as they come!! She is definitley a mix of both!! We could not imagine our lives without this beautiful child!! Happy 18 months Tay!! ( a few days late :0 )
