16 months!

Taylor is 16 months old!

She has had a month full of huge leaps in the direction of becoming a "big girl".  Check them out:
  • This has been the month of communication... Taylor has started talking so much!  She started saying:
    • "uh oh, spaghettio!" (although it's more like "uh oh, spehgjhgkjhg")
    • "Baby"
    • "Yeah"
    • "Hey" and "Hi"
    • "More"
    • "Eye" (and she'll point to it)
    • "Shoe" but it's more like "shhhh"
    • Stephen's heard her say "thank you" (or "ta ku") a couple of times.
    • "Ball"
    • "Ba Ba" as in bottles you drink out of (water, powerade, etc)
  • She has started using gestures/sign language lots more.  A lot of waving (every time a car goes by!), the signs for "more" and "please", pointing at so many things that we ask for.  Her favorite thing to point at/find is Elmo.
  • She'll go and get things we ask for.  She's really starting to show she understands what we're saying.
  • This girl is strong.  She carries things around the house that are heavy- her little car she rides on, mommy's work bag, tables/chairs... but the kicker was- Taylor's class rides in these buggy things to go outside.  The buggy seats 8.  When I went to pick her up, the buggy was packed with 8 kids, and Taylor was pushing it and that girl moved that buggy a good 5 feet across the room!  That had to have been well over 200 pounds.
  • We have officially turned her car seat around!  She was getting so scrunched up sitting backwards.  This was seriously the BEST present we could've given her.
  • Climbing on EVERYTHING.  She literally climbed and fell into the (empty) bathtub; climbing on every chair she can reach; climbing into drawers; etc.
  • She started walking up the stairs by herself, holding onto the railing.
  • Participated in her first Easter egg hunt.
Here are some pics from month 16!

Sydney feeding her sister goldfish.  Is this the correct serving size?

This was her first ride, turned- around.  This smile was on her face the entire time.






Headed to Peter & Jamie's in Roswell for St. Patty's Day... she was resting up for the excitement.

Back off...
