Taylor's update

1. Taylor loves her new class at school and doesn't cry when we drop her off anymore. Instead, she blows kisses, one after another really fast while laughing while I walk out the door. Love it!

2. Taylor loves (and is so good at!) puzzles. She has been doing interlocking ones up to 24 pieces in the tray and she just started doing ones out of the box (with help of course to start with the corners and edges)! It's amazing.

3. Taylor loves games on our phones, like tangrams and of course, puzzles! She is a pro at "dragging" pieces to where they go. Last night I couldn't get a piece and she told me, "You have to be gentle mommy. You drag it over." Haha!

4. Taylor's favorite movie is UP! She is an addict! She only gets to watch movies on the weekends and on Tuesdays (her day off of school) and this is the first one she always watches. Thank you Jocelyn and Simon for lending us that movie!!

5. Taylor loves pretending to be a ballerina. She stands on her tip toes, puts her hands in the air, and spins around...so cute.

6. Taylor is a definite book worm. We often find her in her room in the rocker reading book, after book, after book. At a birthday party we went to recently she disappeared and I frantically went running through the house and there was Taylor, by herself in her friend's room reading books off of his bookshelf. At school, everyday when we pick her up she is in the book corner reading books and she gets so excited when we get there that we stay for another 10-15 minutes reading books at school with her. She LOVES books. We even hear her reading her books out loud when she is watching her movies...multi-tasking!

7. Related to above, Taylor takes a while to warm up to crowds and prefers to be with smaller more intimate groups. She will hang on to me for quite a while until the crowd dissipates and she has found a good friend to play with. She is definitely her daddy's girl!!

8. Taylor can't wait to be three. She always tells us how old she is (holding up her fingers), then tells us how old "Sydney and Rachey" are, holding up three fingers. She says "I'm going to be three too!"

9. Her new favorite stuffed animal is the baby turtle that has been ssitting up on her top shelf in her room since she was born. There are three turtles, a baby, a mommy, and a daddy, all of which we bought on our babymoon to Maui when she was still in my tummy. She loves it!
