Taylor is ONE!

How is Taylor (aka Tayman, Tay-Tay, Tay) ONE already? The first year really flew by!!

Here are some highlights as Tay turns 12 months:

• Tay is becoming a good walker - Still goes between crawling and walking but he's taking more and more steps everyday! And he's really confident - Just goes and doesn't seem to mind when he crashes.
• He loves climbing stairs - will spend a ton of time just going up and down
• Taylor is also really into doors. He loves to open and close them repeatedly. He has yet to pinch his fingers but we are waiting for it to happen.
• Still loves pez dispensers and also anything of Avery's that he can get his hands on. He also LOVES straws - Hung uses these stirrers for his coffee and Tay is obsessed with chewing on them.
• He imitates us which is really funny. Like if we are all laughing, he'll throw his head back and just laugh super loudly. And he finds things funny and just lets out great giggles - He especially finds Avery funny!!
• Loves to dance - If he hears music or sees us dancing he just starts bopping his head and moving up and down.
• Still no interest in books. When you try to read him one he grabs it and closes it.
• He signs for "more" and "all done" and has also started responding to "blow me a kiss" - but usually needs to be prompted
• Waves Bye-Bye whenever we say it
• Still super busy - always on the move and just wanting to be a part of all the action. S curious and loves to check everything.
• Still has 8 teeth and is a great eater. He now likes to try and feed you his food and share - cute and gross at the same time! And he just stuffs his face - literally takes handfuls of food at a time. I am always worried he is gonna choke but he seems OK! He does not like noodles or rice that much. But loves chicken, meat in general, fruit, veggies, snacks (cheerios, crackers, goldfish, etc.), Quesadillas, grilled cheese and PB&J!
• Tons of babbling and chatting. Ashley has gotten him to say "uck" (yuck) around things like garbage cans and toilets.
• Wearing mostly 12-18 month clothes and size 5 shoes
• Nursing pretty much 2 times a day - morning and night.
• He is just a goofy, sweet, good-natured little guy. We love him SO much and can't imagine life without him. There were some years there where we weren't sure baby #2 was going to happen for and we couldn't have been luckier to end up with our adorable Tayman. Can't wait to see what year 2 brings!
