Taylor

I haven't kept up with this blog the past couple of months like I had wanted to. I'm going to try very hard to keep up with it. I really want Taylor to have something she can look back at.

Here are some things I want to remember about her at this age. (2 1/2 - 2 years 10 months)

She talks so much! She will make up stories and talk and talk and talk. She is a chatter box. She will randomly tell you  "she loves you" which is so sweet. It just melts my heart. Many times if I ask her why she did something her reply is " because I needed to " or  "because I had to". She replies a lot with  "of course". The other day I asked her why that smells and she said "because it smells that way".

She loves to dress up in my shoes and clothes and walk around the house. She will drive her car around and say she is going to work. She loves her babies and is constantly wrapping them up and rocking them. She puts her babies in time out all the time. I wonder where she gets this from. She is very stubborn and wants to do things her way.:-)However she can be so sweet and loving. She is also bossy. She loves to tell her friend James Allen what to do. Anytime we go somewhere with him she tells him, "No James! like this " or "James don't do that ". At school the teacher says she is always trying to make others feel better and pats them. She always says she want to "pet me" or that she wants to pet her babies. She LOVEs the babies/younger kids at school. She has become very gentle with them. It used to be her hugging them way to tight. She still get really excited to play and be around other kids. She just loves playing with kids and loves going to school. She is currently going to Mother's Day Out on Tuesday and Thursday from 8- 2:30.

She does not like to take naps but if she is tired she will tell you and go lay down in her bed. I'm lucky if she naps about twice a week. We have a quiet time where she will go play in her room and sometimes falls asleep.

She loves asparagus, the other day she asked for a snack and said she wanted it. She loves cheese and for the last week she has really been doing good with her pooping issues. :-) For those of you who don't know Taylor has had constipation issues for the last 2 years. She is either constipated or pooping like crazy.:-) Hopefully she is starting to grow out of it. We will see but she has been great the last couple of weeks. Its basically high fiber everything. :-)

She loves being outside. Loves our dog Ruger. She loves to dance and dances all the time. She loves weddings because of the dancing. In May we went to Houston for a wedding and Taylor said,
 " Mommy I want to get married." I wanted to cry:-)

Anytime she hears music she starts to dance.

She really eats all kinds of food. She is not that picky. She eats what we eat. She loves all kinds of fruit and is really good about her vegetables. She mainly likes cooked veggies but loves ranch like her daddy with fresh veggies. She either wants ranch or honey mustard. She loves chicken and steak. She likes to eat salads too.

She just started to get into watching cartoons. Her favorite at the moment is Peppa Pig and Team Umizoomi. She will watch a little in the morning and then a little while I'm cooking dinner. If it was up to her she would probably watch TV all day. I think its just so new to her.
