My sweet Taylor!


I just want to highlight the light of my life...my sweet and beautiful little girl Taylor! I know any day now, the world as she(and I)knows it, will be changed forever. I have absolutely loved having the past 2 1/2 years to get to know her and bond with her. I am going to miss the one-on-one I have with her right now. She is so loving, kind, and sincere. Her laughs are genuine and very contagious! Ask those who have witnessed it! She has always been a happy child and pretty laid back. I love the twinkle in her eyes, and her sweet spirit that she possesses and shares with all. I love watching her interact with others because she just loves people in general and always puts a smile on everyones face. And almost always has a smile on her face. I love when she comes in my room in the morning and says, "Good morning Mommy, I'm awake now, its not dark outside anymore" with a huge smile on her face. It puts a smile on my face and helps me have a better attitude starting the day, as I have never been a morning person. She loves to read books with us and sing songs. She has several songs memorized that she requests to sing, and now sings to me :) "You are my Sunshine" is on the top of that list at the moment. She is learning and growing so much too. She knows several colors and shapes and points them out in books, in stores, and even on tv. Same with letters. She recognizes her name when she sees it and knows "t" is for Taylor. As well as all the other letters in her name. She will point out other letters to me as well. She is already better than me at the game "memory" and likes to play "uno" as well. She knows all the colors in that game and knows she can play by matching colors, symbols, or numbers. She even knows to draw if she doesn't have a match. It's a lot of fun to see her doing so much at this age. And that we can really play together. She is always cooking me "dinner" with her kitchen set Santa brought her. Which she lights up about when you ask her. She is such a smart little girl. She loves to help too! Give her a task or ask a favor and she does it with a big smile! She loves the "thank you's" and "your such a big/good helper" she gets in return. She is also very polite and says please, thank you, sorry, excuse me, and excuse you, if you don't excuse yourself quickly enough. She never ceases to amaze me. She is a very good eater and would prefer an apple or carrots over candy or a granola bar. She is becoming very independent and we are all learning to be patient with each other and trying to understand each other better. She is excited to have baby Dakoda coming soon. She tells me she is going to hold him in her arms. Which I can't wait for as well. It will be a sweet moment. She has really enjoyed going to "Dr. Huge"(Dr. Hughes) with me to get weighed(always after I do), and to hear baby Koda's "heartbeep". She was saying it correctly but for some reason started saying "beep" and won't say "beat" now. Its so cute. She recently(finally) started saying "spoon" correctly, as she was calling it "foon" forever. Even though she has been able to pronounce other words with "sp" sound. She also expresses her emotions really well. I always love to hear her say "I love you Mommy" when I haven't said it first. But just because she is feeling that emotion. She isn't my little baby any more. But my beautiful little girl. I love you Taylor!
