Fashionista

Taylor is obsessed with accessories! She constantly seeks out shoes, coats and anything she can put around her neck. It scares me a little bit that she likes to put things around her neck, but ever since she was little she has grabbed anything and everything (and tried to put it on. Whether it is Dylan's tool belt, a necklace, a onesie, anything she can lift over her head becomes a necklace. If this is any sign of what is to come we are going to have a little fashionista on our hands. Luckily her Great Aunt and 2nd cousin like to shop and have a good fashion sense. I can just send Taylor out on shopping dates with them =)

Everyday Taylor goes into the laundry room and picks out a coat and bring it to us to put on. Today, she picked a snowsuit and she walked around with it on for a few hours with the legs dragging behind her.
If there are shoes around, she finds them. We have started trying to get her to put on shoes that are close to her size so she can actually walk in them. Normally, she picks Bryan or Dylan's shoes that are way to big to stay on her feet.

She seems to get really warm in the coats, but if we take them off she goes and grabs it and brings it back to us to be put back on. It is too funny!


We tried to strap Dylan's shoes to her feet. It worked for a little while.


We went to the Phiefer's for dinner over after Christmas and she found their clogs. She loved walking around in these!

Happy Birthday, Taylor!!!!

I can't believe my sweet baby girl is 1!!!! These past 12 months have flown by and I am so in love with Taylor Grace. She has added such a joyful presence to our home and she is truly a gift from God.

On Taylor's actual birthday we had a fun morning at KidsQuest while Dylan was at preschool.

She loves the water area!


She likes Legos but she couldn't quite figure out how to get them to stay on the board.



The best part of the day was dinner. Grandma and Grandpa came over and I made chicken carbonara. Apparently, Taylor likes carbonara.

Taylor's Birthday Party

The day of Taylor's party, Dylan ran into her room when she woke up and this is what we found. Our two kiddos having so much fun! They have such a special relationship with one another and it is so fun to watch them enjoy one another.
Our attempt at a family picture.


A little sibling dance party.

Taylors favorite toy of the night was the Rody. Her smile was pure joy and she could have bounced forever!
