Taylor

After writing the post about Mason, my attention was directed to the kids dancing and clapping of the hands. Of course I had to join in the festivities, therefore not leaving time to write Taylor's post. With the peace and quiet of the evening, and no interruptions, I can finally get around to her update.

In the last month, her personality is really coming out and I'm thrilled about this. She was a very calm and quiet baby. I remember thinking to myself that she would be the timid one and Mason would be the center of the party. Boy was I wrong. Whatever Mason is doing, Taylor is right there with him. They both love being the center of attention.

Taylor is a chatterbox. Even the doctor was blown away at her last appointment by how much she is saying and speaking in sentences. The girl is seldom quiet and if she is, you better go find her. From the minute she is awake, she is asking where everyone is by name. The minute you see her, she will say "hi" until you say it back to her. We joke that she should be the greeter at church on Sunday's.

As friendly and outgoing as she is, there is still a bit of separation anxiety. Usually she prefers Adam and I to hold her. If someone else tries, she thinks we are leaving her and begins to cry her little eyes out. Most of the time, we experience this on Sunday's when she goes to the nursery at church. However, this happens even with family sometimes. Mason went through this phase at that age, so I'm not too worried about it. It breaks the grandparents hearts, but she still says hi and blows them kisses.

The girl loves to give kisses and makes a big "muah" sound at the end. I've noticed she will kiss me when someone new walks in the room or she doesn't want someone to hold her. I think it's her way of marking her territory.

Most of the time, Taylor and Mason play well together. She will follow her brother around the room and do whatever he is doing or say what he is saying. She really looks up to him. The other day, Connor did something to Mason that Taylor didn't like. We were in the car driving and all three were in the backseat. I turned around and Taylor shook her little finger at Connor and pinched his arm and told him "no!" I had to hide my laughter and explain we don't pinch. But I was so proud of her for sticking up for him. No one messes with her bub!

Miss Thing also loves clothes, shoes, accessories, and jewelry. A true girly girl. As soon as she is dressed for the day, she will walk in the room and go over to whoever is in there and begin pointing out her dress, bows, and shoes. I've even caught her twirling. It's hilarious to watch. She is our little fashionista.

Her hair is finally long enough where I can put it up. I can get two little pig tails in, but she usually will pull those out. Bows are starting to make a comeback, which makes me happy. As of lately, her hair is pulled to the side up top. It sort of looks like pebbles.

I will do better about posting on them more often.I'll even get around to posting pictures.
