For Taylor's birthday I wanted to get her a stroll along walker so that she could have fun pushing it. Even though I gave it to her before her birthday I think that she will continue to use it past it.
We went camping for the first time with Taylor which actually went a lot better than I expected.She does not love nature yet, but she can't walk on her own yet so I think that prevented her from exploring. She did really well in her port a crib and I think she will start enjoying it more as she gets older. Chris and I went on the ski lifts. It was so relaxing and the scenery was gorgeous.
We also went to the Aquarium in Sandy. Needless to say I was a little underwhelmed with it. I am comparing it to the aquariums in southern California, specifically Long Beach which is bigger and better. Then I had to remember that it's Utah and that explains it. Taylor really liked it though. She kept banging on the glass of the fish tanks with her hands. Chris's favorite part was the otters that were swimming and playing with each other. My favorite part was the eel. They actually do "shreek" like they do in the movie Princess Bride.
There are some things that I would like to remember about Taylor a week before her first birthday.
- she likes to crawl around sliding with her hand a small object on the floor
- she likes to stand on the couch and crawl from one end to the other
- she likes to open and close doors
- as of late she has become a Momma's girl and cries when I leave a room
- she is very sweet and will wrap her hands around your neck and give you a hug
- she likes to crawl over us and play with people's hair
- she plays with the blinds and the strings from it
- she likes to look at herself in the mirror and will blow on it
