My baby turns 1!

and how much does she look like me here!!?

This little girl has just absolutely stolen my heart.

Here are some reasons why...

She is the most TICKLISH baby I've ever met...especially around her neck. The smallest touch will send her into a wiggle dance.

She's an independent EXPLORER and likes to get into everything. Maybe the key word here is INDEPENDENT and not explorer!

She loves to look at books and point to the different objects with her MIDDLE FINGER, it's awesome!

She ROLLS with the PUNCHES.  Whether it's being pulled by her itty bitty ankles across the hard wood floor or having to hold on for dear life to the wagon as her sister pulls her along...it's all fun to her!

She is a WATER BABY, when we start running the bath she'll crawl as fast as she can to the bathroom oohing and ahhing the whole way.

Her favorite food is BEAN & CHEESE BURRITOS...enough said!

Her ACROBATICS!  One of her favorite pastimes is crawling up on a pillow just to roll off followed by the best baby headstand you'll ever see!  Not to mention her turbo speed army crawl!

She LOVES her SISTER! Just the sound of Emma's voice sends Taylor jumping out of my arms.

Speaking of her sister...I love that no matter how many times Emma will take a toy away from Taylor, she does not give up. She will go straight back to claim what's hers. DETERMINED.

CLAPS when excited and KICKS her legs when she wants to be held, how could I ever resist!

She loves being OUTSIDE. Going for walks calms her and recently we've learned that sand does not scare her one bit!

Her funny DANCE MOVES! She's already lovin' music and joining in on our 5 o'clock dance parties.

...and I love love love her sweet calm nature and her BIG GUMMY (all tongue) GRIN

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!

AWWW I love that little girl! She is growing up so fast. Sounds like she is developing a personality quite similar to her feisty older sis. You should post some videos of all those cute things she does!

I didn't know you had a blog! yeah. I'm so excited...another blog to read!!! (seriously this is exciting for me). Brody was telling us that the same girl who was asleep on the couch had a similar conversation with your husband a few weeks ago. Weird.
