Taylor Rose is Turning Two!

My baby girl is growing up!  She isn't a baby anymore, but now a toddler.  *Tear*  Just 8 minutes shy of being a Valentine's girl, she will officially be two at 12:08 am.

She is my clumsy girl... 

In just the month before her birthday, she was pegged in the head twice by a moving swing (with a big brother in tow).  In the picture below you can see a bump right in the middle of her forehead and a healing bruise just above her left eyebrow.  A few days afterwards, she fell off of her desk and bit her lip.  I almost took her to the hospital because it was really bad, but it stopped bleeding and she seemed okay after a popsicle.  She fell out of the car when Ryan opened the door and scraped up her cheek, around her eye, and hands.  She also fell off of the stool trying to get off of the toilet and bruised her little hiney pretty bad.  Then just a few days ago, she used her stool to reach the stove and touched a hot pan.  She reminds me every day that she has a boo-boo on her arm and it was hot. 

Its not so much that she is just clumsy.  She is very curious and moves so fast that she forgets to pay attention A LOT.  Its funny how opposite this is from Christian.

She is my life-sized babydoll...

I LOVE to play dress up with her.  I used to only buy complete outfits from boutiques, but lately I have been having a lot of fun with making up little outfits.  Sometimes I even dig around in Christian's closet. 

She is my sugar-holic...

Ryan bought me a bag of Ghiradelli chocolate.  I can make a bag of candy last for months!  Tay was tired of looking at it and set up a plan with Christian.  She brought my whole stash into his room, shut the door, they pretended to play quietly, and finished it ALL off.  I had only eaten one piece before she got a hold of it.

She is my social butterfly...

She LOVES friends and making new ones.  Actually, she has a thing for strangers.  She really likes flirting with people she has never met.  Of course, I am always watching her and nearby.  Our neighbors down the road have three kids that come over to play a lot.  Tay asks about them every day.  She will take off her pajamas, pull on her boots, and ask for her friends.  (I have to remind her that she also needs to wear panties and clothes.)When they come over, Tay kisses and hugs on all of them.  In the picture below, she is showing her friend how to squeek the dog toy.

 But most of all, she is my little sunshine munchkin...

Taylor Rose is always laughing, giggling, and doing something funny.  She loves to make others laugh and stir up mischief.  I have to control my own laughter a lot of times when I am trying to get onto her.
