14 months and more!

It was two years ago that Ryan and I decided to start thinking about expanding our little family of 2, and here we are two years later with a rambunctious little 14 month old! What fun each stage and age brings!

First, I just wanted to capture a bit of what Taylor is like at this point and then share a few fun pictures from this past week!

Taylor, at 14 months you are...

* Wearing size 12 month - 2T clothing, and size 3 diapers

* Sleeping great - out before 7pm, and up around 7am at night, and taking a short nap in the morning and a longer one in the afternoon

* Saying your first words! "baw" - ball, "dada", "bapa" (what you most often call me :o), silly girl)

* 4 teeth total - 2 on top, 2 on bottom

* Drinking only from a sippy cup now, no more bottles!

* Loving small cut veggies (finally!)

* Walking like crazy

* Great at giving hugs

* Starting to struggle a little more with separation anxiety - our time in church nursery has been a little rough the past few Sundays when mommy isn't working

* Loving books, books and more books - a current favorite is baby Einstein's "First Words" and a puppet book about a little fish

* A little ham sometimes, silly as can be, strong willed, a bit stubborn when you don't get your way, but mostly a little sweetheart who makes us smile and laugh every single day

Some pictures from this past week...


Here is a picture of Taylor with the Easter Bunny (apparently this bunny was not the most excited, as he and Taylor have similar expressions :o))

Checking each other out...

Out shopping - I think Taylor could spend a LOT of time in this store, she never wants to leave! :o)

Cutie...

And some pictures from the master's swimming state meet this weekend! My mom was competing (my dad is only 7 weeks out from his shoulder surgery, so he was a coach on the sidelines this year), AND it was her birthday, so we went as a birthday surprise and to cheer her on at the meet! It was a FUN morning, and it was great to give Taylor a little exposure to the excitement of a meet with lots of people, splashing and cheering!

We were not there long before Taylor decided that she REALLY wanted to get in the pool, and became very vocal about it. :o) Luckily, they had a nice and warm baby pool right next to the competition pool, so Taylor got her wish! She splashed around for a good half hour, and didn't want to get out. She's our little fish!

Tired eyes after a busy morning

That's all for this post, but on a separate side note - they are calling for snow tonight. We have a winter weather advisory for the middle of April (I think someone forgot to tell the weather people that it is no longer winter!).  Ha!
