THE POTTY CHAIR

So we bought Taylor a potty chair so we could teach her how it works and what it is for. Also her cousin is in the final stages of potty training and so she has shown interest since he is in the big boy potty club. Well she likes to sit on it but hasn't put any prizes in it yet. However she likes to pretend with her dolls and feeds them, carries them around, etc. Well one day she thought her baby and Elmo should try to use the potty chair, not only try it out but also try it at the same time. It was pretty cute and funny! She even said "Baby and Elmo pee pee." I think she is grasping the consept of sitting on the potty chair but actually potting in the chair. But it will happen one of these days and until then it will always be available for her baby and Elmo.

The Masterpiece

So today we finger painted. She really likes to finger paint. I am not sure if it is the actual painting or making the mess that she likes best. But here is a picture of some of her best art work so far. When she was done she said "pretty."

Ouwie

So today was an interesting day so I thought I would share. Taylor had an ouwie day today. This morning we were playing outside with her coupe car and she was pushing it and fell down and scraped her knee. She pointed to it all morning saying "ouwie." Then we went to a garage sale and she was sitting in a little chair and fell forward and got her hand stuck in the chair, another "ouwie." However this one was bigger than the knee. Then tonight we were playing hide and seek. She finds these hiding places and hides there over and over, but gets super excited about how clever she is in her hiding spot. So tonight her spot was in the shower downstairs. However it is a stand up shower with no tub so she fell forward in her great excitement and bit her lip. Blood went everywhere. So now she has a fat lip. Another "ouwie." Poor girl! (Insert sad mommy and daddy face here)

Happy Birthday "T"

Today Taylor is 18 months! So hard for Zach and I to accept that our little baby girl isn't a baby anymore. Here are a few pictures from birth to today, one for each month of her life. It has been fun to watch her grow and change. Next she'll be turning 2. I think I'll cry on that day...

PICNIC IN THE PARK

Tonight we went on a picnic and then played in the park. We all had fun! Taylor played on every "wee" they had there!!

I HEART ELMO

For those of you who don't know, Taylor loves Elmo!! She is a big fan! Her whole world evolves around him. She will even wake up in the night and say his name. Last night I gave her an Elmo sticker I got from work and she put it on her night gown. Well then she refused to take it off when she went to bed. So when Zach and I went in to check on her, this is what we found...the Elmo sticker on her forehead and an Elmo in each arm. I don't know if anyone could love him more than her!
