The Martins: She's growning up so fast!

Everyday i am amazed at how fast Taylor is growing up, sometimes i just want it to slow down, but i do enjoy watching her learn and discover new things and watching her little personality continue to develop. She is 16 months old now, she keeps us on our toes and laughing! The other day she opened a cupboard where there are some drinks and pulled out a rootbeer (she has only ever had a few sips of soda before) she looked at me and said "I want". I told her she didn't need that, and she kept insisting that she wanted it! Luckily i was able to distract her with something else! She has always been a "jabber box" but lately she has been saying a lot of actual words. Everyday she says to me "side" "beets" which is her asking me to take her outside and to the beach. Anytime she hears an airplane or helicopter she says "gook" "aipane". And now because she is learning to say so many words Jimmy trys to teach her new words and phrases everyday! The other day we were in the car and a Black Eyed Peas song came on the radio (Hawaii doesn't have very many good radio stations so you take what you can get) in this song it repeats the words i'mma be, i'mma be (mom that's supposed to be i'm gonna be) Jimmy has now taught Taylor that part of the song so she repeats "i be, i be". Such a fun stage!
