An update of our big girl Taylor

Hello everyone!
It has been almost a month since we've posted (I cheated and just added about 5 posts below...hehe) and wow has time flown by! We have been an on-the-go family and Taylor has been a growing girl, excelling at everything she does. We've listed some of her new things that she does now-a-days that make us smile, laugh, or cry. Every day is a new day with our girl and every day she brings us so many surprises.

- She now says "bye-bye" to mommy's computer when I'm trying to work from home, hinting that I should be spending more time with her!

- She is polite in some ways, saying please very sweetly (pease) but not so polite in others (she says "bye-bye" to anyone she wants to go away...even friends of mommy and daddy)

- She plays a cute game in the car where she says "mama!" and I turn around and say "hi honey!" and rub her leg. She then says "bye-bye" and I turn back around. She then says "mama!" and we do the whole process over again...about 5 times!

- She is not really into eating her pureed lunches and dinners anymore. It became a battle and so I realxed a bit on feeling like I needed to shove veggies in her for both meals. She now eats our dinners such as curry chicken with rice, carrots, celery and onions in it, and of course, quesadillas with beans, cheese, sour cream and salsa!

- She's received many boo-boo's that have come with the rights to walking. She fell and scraped her knee pretty good at the petting zoo at the Wild Animal Park this past weekend and she also slammed her face/tooth on the glass table at Granny and Papa Bill's house, making a pool of blood in her mouth and giving her a nice little bruise on her cheek. Luckily she forgot the pain quickly and was playing a game with mommy, sticking her finger from her soothing water into my mouth and laughing histerically.

- She's loving to say the names of the people in the room, over and over again. Mostly it's mama, dada, and Tay-tay but this weekend we were with Papa and so she was saying "mama, dada, mama, tay-tay, dada, papa, mama, papa, dada, tay-tay" over and over again. It's like she was so proud of herself being able to label all of our names!

- She is daddy's best cheerleader, yelling "yay!" and clapping everytime she sees him on his bike (or sees a picture of ANY man on a bike with a helmet).

- She is very interested in going pee-pee on the potty and even asks for "pee-pee" and walks to the toilet. She sits on the toilet and pushes real hard with a big smile on her face but only gas come out. I think going pee-pee in her diaper makes her think of the toilet and so that's when she asks for it...but it's too late. Hey, it's the first step...at 15 months old! Time for mommy's potty training tricks!

- She has a running list of words she can say (or approximations of) including mama, dada, water (wawa), bye-bye, hi, diaper, no, yes (yah), papa, tay-tay, milk, moon, plane, outside (sigh), down, up, shoes, shirt, socks, bed, nigh-nigh, head, nose, brush, teeth, pee-pee, cereal, love you (yuh-you), cracker (da-duh), home, eye, watch, wipe, please, done (duh), more, bumbo, paper, thank you (this one is tough to understand!), boat (boe), soap, bubbles, duck (duh-duh), book, cheese, tortellini (nee-nee), Tiger (tie-tie), and toe.
