All about Taylor!

Ok I'm going to play a little catch up and do a post all about Taylor then next I'll do one for Carson! There's a lot to catch up on so I'll do my best to remember everything!


Taylor is 23 months old now she will be 2 years old in less than a month! And she is such a big girl, She enjoys life and learning she is always looking for new challenges! She's very social and loves to show off for anyone who will pay attention to her. Ever since she was a baby we have called her monkey and that nickname fits her to a T, she climbs on EVERYTHING! And usually falls off of everything too. But she's a tough little girl, she usually won't cry unless she is really hurt and even then she doesn't cry for very long! She loves her baby brother Carson, she usually doesn't pay a whole lot of attention to him because she is so busy doing her own thing (she's constantly on the go!) but when she does notice him she is very sweet and loving toward him. The other day I was in the bathroom getting ready and Carson was in his crib fussing, Taylor came in and stuck her hand through the crib, grabbed onto his hand and said " I help you Carson" then she climbed up on the side of the crib, looked down at him and said "it's okay Carson". Taylor is a very thoughtful and sweet little girl, the other day I when I was feeding Carson I asked her to go get mommy a bottle of water, she came back with two , one for mommy and one for daddy! She is also very polite, She loves to share and say please and thank you! She got her foot stuck in one of her toys and after I helped her get it out she repeated over and over " thank you mommy, thank you mommy". She's learning the alphabet, she knows all the letters in her name and a lot of the other letters too! She is also learning to count she says " two, free, fo, five, segan, eight, nine, twelve!" And she also know shapes and colors! She repeats most anything you tell her to and aslo somethings you don't! Some of Jimmy's favorites have been "sup dude" and Farfignugin She says "faggigin" . Taylor LOVES animals, her favorite toys to play with are her lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras, elephants and dinasaurs that Nana got her. She calls dinasaurs mine-asaures. She also likes to watch Dora the explorer, Dora has taught her several spanish words like abajo, ariba, estrailla, corta, hola, and penguino. Anyway I could go on and on but for now I'll just share some pictures of Taylor and the things she likes to do!





She LOVES riding her horse!


And reading books!


Playing in the water is one of her most favorite things to do,
whether it's the hose or sprinklers, the pool, the tub, the ocean
or even puddles she can't get enough of it!

She loves her piggy bank and putting money in it!
She loves new clothes and showing them off!

Trying to dress herself!



Being silly... she's good at that!


She'll wear her tutu any chance she gets!


And helping mommy bake is so much fun!

Playing with daddy!



She loves swinging and playing at the park!


Wearing Papa's boots!


AND eating icecream!

FINALLY!!!

YAY! We finally got some family pictures taken, thanks to my sister-in-law Christina! Her and her little family came down from Idaho for fall break and she was so sweet to squeeze us into her busy schedule! We had to split it up into two days because we didn't think Taylor & Carson would do very well for long, so on Friday we took pictures of the kids and then on Saturday we did family pics! It was quite a chore getting them to both sit still and at least have a pleasant look on their faces! Here are the results!!!



Yes, Eeyore was in our family pictures! Taylor doesn't go
anywhere without him, and we figured trying to take him
away for pictures wasn't worth the fight. Plus that's just
who Taylor is right now and look how nicely he matches our outfits!







Look at that cute little smile and adorable
little belly button!
Can you tell this was one of the last pictures?!
We both look a little ragged, but I still like it
because of Taylor's HUGE smile!
