Taylor 28 Month Update

Here is what sweet and crazy Tay is up to in Month 28:

• I am LOVING talking Taylor - It is so fun to hear all the new things he is saying. Some of our current favorites are:
• "Shank Shu Shishy" (Thank you Sissy) - He really has amazing manners and thanks us all the time for everything. We love it!
• "I need Shu Mama" (I need you). We hear this one a lot whenever he needs help and how can anyone say No to that??
• "Shanta says Ho Ho Hooooo"
• "O-is Yike Me" (Otis likes me) - We heard that one a lot while Du was here. He was really into Otis. And he is always saying who likes him "Dada yike me"
• "Ah-New" is Uncle Du, and "Guy" is Cullen.
• "Lo-Lo" is Yo-Yo
• When you turn on the light after his nap or in the morning he says "Ish too briii" (It's too bright) and closes his eyes in pain. Same with loud noises - Covers his ears and says "Too Youd (loud) dada".
• And he has the sweetest way of saying "Yeah" with this cute nod. I need to get all of these on film!
• "Bow How" is Bounce House. He is really loving playing in the basement and bouncing around. So he'll say "Bow How?" and then head down to the basement. He loves to get "stuck" in the side with Hung and then have Avery save them. Both kids just giggle the whole time. It's a nice way to burn some energy with the cold weather!!
• Tay still loves Choo-Choos. He carries a few around in this little cooler bag that zips up and sleeps with them every night along with a water cup ("wawa"). We are excited to get his new train track systems set up and glued down on his train table  that he got for Christmas but he has been playing with them a bunch recently.
• He got a couple new drill toys for Christmas and is loving those - He spent Christmas Day pretty much drilling little screws into this toy he got from Maddie. He still loves his tools and wants to help Hung fix things.
• He has not been very interested in food lately (except treats!) so getting him to eat good meals has been a struggle. He's such a skinny little guy and we are constantly trying to get him to chow down despite his protests. The one thing he LOVES are plain Penne Noodles (Noo-Noo's).
• He is mostly in 2T - some 3T. Size 7 shoe.
• Tay is always asking my for my phone and wants to watch shows only on my phone - Anyone else's makes him mad. He is really good at navigating things like NetFlix and dismissing alerts and things like that. Too funny. And he'll ask for "big show" when he wants to watch a show on the TV.
• He has this thing where we wants to name everyone in the room "Mama, Dada, Sissy".
• He has no interest in potty training - When I ask him if he wants to use the potty and be a big boy he says "No I a baby." LOVES to tell you that he is a baby!
• Everything is MINE. We hear Mine a lot!! And he wants everyone to have what is theirs - He was mad a Avery today for playing with the balloon sword that Avery gave to Ashley. He only wanted Ashley to have it. So trying to encourage sharing is a goal right now :) 
• Tay and Avery have a new sleeping game - They get pillows, blankets and coats and Avery puts Tay "to sleep" in the ottoman in the sunroom. She shuts the shades, turns on white noise and he pretends sleep. Totally odd but entertains both of them. They are finding more and more ways to play together and it just makes me melt. She couldn't be sweeter to him and I love seeing them enjoying each other.
• He has SO much energy - Always jumping, play fighting/ninja type moves, shooting things, on the go! He can have his snuggly moments, too (when he feels like it). Just such a sweet and awesome boy - I want to freeze him at this age and wish I could capture every cute thing coming out of his mouth!!

REALLY not wanting his picture taken and making mad faces at me...
