If I were to describe Taylor in 2 words, I’d use shy and funny. He’s actually kind of shy at first, but once he’s comfortable, he becomes the life of the party. He loves to make people laugh in what he says and does. I could easily see him as the class clown.
In the last 6 months, 2 events come to my mind. The first occurred when Taylor showed Logan how to get out of his crib. After a few escapes, we turned their cribs into toddler beds. But once they both started jumping on them, we figured they wouldn’t last long. So we turned their toddler beds into twin size beds. They’re more sturdy… The second event occurred when Taylor showed Logan how to take his diaper off and smear poop everywhere. Within a few weeks, Taylor stopped but Logan continued. So we started potty training them. It’s a work in progress…
There are a few more things that come to my mind since Taylor’s birthday.
- He is adventurous and will try just about anything, which is kind of scary… Hopefully he slows down.
- He is strong and flexible. He can climb, push and pull just about anything.
- He is mechanical. He loves to figure things out, how they work, and how he can break them =S
- He enjoys bringing me weird things, like dead frogs.
- When he gets hurt, he always asks for a kiss, then he’s all better. Once, I almost kissed his poopy finger =S
- He is the master of taking his clothes off and putting them back on.
- He is very helpful when it comes to switching off the laundry and changing diapers, especially when I am changing Kendall’s
- He loves to get into stuff, like the fridge and the pantry =S
- He recognizes all the letters of the alphabet.
- He counts up to 10.
His favorite tv show: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
His favorite movie: Alvin and the Chipmonks
His favorite toy: anything that is new or isn’t a toy
His favorite song: The Wheels on the Bus
Taylor’s speech has also increased a lot. Certain things he says crack me up, like when he says Fork (and it sounds like F^%$) and Elephant (and it sounds like F^%$ it). Recently he has been repeating everything we say, so we’ve definitely been watching what comes out of our mouths.
He’s gotten better at sharing, especially since we’ve introduced the concepts of taking turns and trading. He does great with other kids, okay with Logan, and okay with Kendall, who has started to show her disapproval when toys are taken away from her.
Taylor is such a silly boy. He makes me laugh and smile every day. He’s so inventive and creative in what he does and says. I can’t wait to see his personality develop more and more every day. I love him so so so much!
