Tayler Dunlap: November 2012

Wow! I'm a little behind this month. That's about how the holiday season goes though, plus we both were sick with the flu for almost two weeks. Tayler is doing great. He gets bigger everyday! He still weighs around 28 pounds and has gotten a little taller. He won't stand still long enough for me to measure him or take pictures. lol. We are spending a lot of our time visiting family, shopping, going to story time at the library and relaxing at home. All indoors....because winter has finally arrived here. We really miss being outside at the park. So I've had to get creative and come up with lots of fun activities for winter. Play-dough is one of his new favorite things. (He still loves his cars too.) He also likes to color and play with stickers. Tayler is speaking in half sentences now, mostly three to four words put together. It's so fun to have him talk and copy everything we say. :) He has a really silly personality and loves to joke around and make people laugh. Him and daddy like to tell jokes together. He is so sweet and so polite. He always says hi, bye, please, thank you and love you. He loves all his family and always wants to go visit someone. He has special names for everyone. For example he calls his grandmas "cracker" which is hilarious. He came up with that one all by himself. Grandpas are papas. A couple of his aunties are "t t" and "ne ne" He calls cats "meow meows" fruit snacks are "inahs" and I am mama and daddy is dada. Although daddy has him saying "hi mom!" to me now. It sounds to funny. We are doing really good with his new allergies and haven't had any allergic reactions since this summer. He's been having dairy occasionally, mostly cheese, and he does great with it. Halloween was really fun this year. He dressed as a pirate and actually left his outfit on. We just took him to all his Grandparents in town. It's always fun to see everyone all in one night. We collected lots of candy but mommy and daddy ate that. Tayler ate the raisins and fruit snacks he was given. :) I love his eating habits. We also had a great Thanksgiving with all daddy's family. Tayler enjoyed playing with his cousins! Neither of us ate much since we were sick though. So far he is enjoying all the Christmas decorations. And let me tell you, he has some pretty awesome gifts coming his way for Christmas! I love this age because it's so interactive and he's becoming this little boy with his own personality! We are enjoying looking at Christmas lights, we've been watching Christmas movies and soon Tayler will get to try some yummy Christmas treats. I have always loved the holidays but with Tayler they are even better! Happy Holidays everyone!
