Taylor turns 4!

It is really hard to believe that my baby is four years old. As the cliche goes...I can't figure out where time has gone.

To think of all that's gone on in the last four years is just amazing to me. And exhausting! It's hard to imagine what life was like before Taylor came into our world. Well, hard for me...Conal swears it was ten octaves quieter!

B- "Because Tay, I want to write down all the things that make you YOU"!

T- "Like my belly button"?

Taylor likes to play outside on the swings for a little while, but is more of a couch potato. She likes to roll on the carpet in her 'spot' and sing songs or watch movies. She can count to 30 and knows the ABC's orally and by sight. She likes to ride her scooter, but is not too fond of her bike. She plays with Barbies and purses and loves to dress up. She has a lot of dress up clothes and shoes, and preferes to wears dresses in real life too! Taylor loves to draw pictures with chalk, markers or ink pens, and her favorite game in Memory.

She's outgrowing her food challenges which has been a nice bonus at meal time! She has a dairy allergy, and is still intolerant of peanuts and tree nuts. But we've started allowing foods with egg and she's tolerating it well! She likes to eat out for lunch with Mommy, but not really for dinner. She's a mommy's girl, and doesn't like it when Hayden and/or Daddy crowd her territory! She completed her developmental preschool on March 13th and is now attending St. Tims, in the 3-4 year old class! Her best friends are Cash, Kadie, Kady and Jaxson, Cooper and her sister Hayden, too!

Taylor has a silly personality, is quite the actress and pretends to act shy when she wants to, or is being stubborn. Quite honestly, she doesn't have a shy bone in her body. She loves to be the center of attention and command an audience with anyone who will give her 1/2 a second! Our lives our complete with Taylor, we are so lucky to get to spend each day with her.

Happy 4th birthday Tay, we love you!
