Christmas

Taylor has been so good around all of the Christmas decorations. She mostly just points at the decorations. Her favorite things to look at are the Christmas tree with all the decorations and lights, the nativity scene, and the HO, HO, HO sign. She likes to pick up the donkey and hold it and she likes to play with the bells on the HO, HO, HO sign. Some of the highlights of this month have been going to see the Temple Square lights, going to City Creek Mall, Spanish Fork lights, watching the Christmas classics, the Riverwoods lights, and seeing Santa at the Orem mall in her Santa dress. Her least favorite part was seeing Santa. She took one look at him and started bawling her little eyes out. Her favorite was seeing all the Christmas lights. She liked to also go in the car with us and look at the Christmas lights on peoples homes. We also went over to Chris's brother's house for Christmas Eve dinner and then reinacting the nativity. Taylor played one of the sheep and she did a great job. Christmas day she went to Denny's with her dad without me because I had to work. She had her first scrambled eggs there and really liked it. When I got home from work we hurried and opened up presents and then went to my folks house to have Christmas dinner and open up presents. She really enjoyed it except for my mom's new camera with her tripod. She wore her Santa dress that day and looked way cute! Some things that she does that are cute is:
- she sleeps with her blanket and bear
- she says car, hot, dog, dada, moma, ball, roll, and princess
- she likes to eat mostly cheese and watermelon, but she is good about trying new foods
- she cuddles with her doll baby
- she enjoys opening and closing doors
-s he will bring our shoes to us and wait for us to put them on

Halloween, Thanksgiving

Taylor and I went to Chris's work to trick or treat. She was able to walk around the hallways to the candy that they had placed outside their office. She clung to the pieces of candy and would not let it go. It was really fun to see her walk around. Everyone that saw her could not take their eyes off her and said how cute she was. We then went trick or treating with my brothers family and my parents in their neighborhood. Taylor loved being outside with everyone and getting the different candy. She has not eaten any yet so Chris helped her with that. It snowed all day for one day about 11 inches and I had Taylor go outside in it. She just stared at the snow falling and then Chris tried making a snowman in the backyard without gloves so it was not completed. Taylor was actually scared to be around it. She still likes her watermelon and it's still her favorite fruit. Yesterday was thanksgiving and Chris and I put up the Christmas decorations. It was fun for us but Taylor was a little bit confused as to what was going on. She likes to point at the the fake Christmas tree that we have lit up with ornaments. Today is Black Friday and we are going to to some Christmas shopping:)
Some things that Taylor does that I would like to remember is
- she will point at different things in room until we identify what it is. ( it usually is a fan or light)
- she talks all the time. Her favorite words are da, car, all done
- she carries a blanket and bear around the house and often needs both to go to sleep
- she has curly/wavy hair and its adorable
- she does different poses
- she is starting to drink more milk from her sippy cup and eat less of the watermelon
- she likes to run in open face and will run so fast that she face plants. she doesn't cry when she gets up though
