Taylie at TWO



I haven't done an update on Taylie since she's turned two so here we go:

She is still teeny tiny as in 21 lbs (I've lost track as to how FAR below the growth chart that is)
She is as healthy as can be though :)

Sleeps great in her toddler bed.  Goes to bed around 7:30pm and gets up at 6:30am.  Naps from 1pm-3pm.   Naps are not yet a struggle, and usually runs off to bed right after lunch yelling, "Naptime!"

She is fully potty trained besides at night.  She decided just over two weeks ago, that she was ready to do it all herself so I went along with it.  Many times, I will just hear the toilet flushing as she has to do things on her own.  She's at the "Miss Independent" stage.

She shows much interest in what she wears, which would be fleece pajamas everyday if I would let her. 

Favorite foods are the same:  yogurt drinks, whipped yogurt, cheese, jelly sandwiches, toast, cereal, apples, and raspberries.

Her favorite things include:  books, photos books, pointing out every letter and who's name it stands for, throwing fits, going to her friend Eliza's house, waiting for her sisters' bus, and taking baths.

The mornings Kelsey is at school, she is my little shadow.  Our routine is to eat breakfast together and then sit and look at books for quite some time while I drink my coffee.   Then she helps me around the house unload dishes, sweep, vacuum, etc.  I enjoy these days with her as before I know it, I will be putting her on that bus for preschool!

Gymnastics Fun

Tonight we were invited to be part of Kelsey's gymnastics class.  For the last two weeks, they were encouraged to bring a stuffed animal or doll to class.  They incorporated them with all their skills and added extra fun activities.  For the last part of class tonight, she could show us what they've been working so hard on.


This week she decided to bring along PeeWee Penguin.


She had her sisters help her make a medal for PeeWee.


Showing off on the trampline.



Bars are her favorite.


Bear walk between beams.

First aid station.


"Dressing Room" for makeup and perfume.
