34 and 35 months

August 20th already!! Let's see, the last time I wrote we were getting ready for swimming lessons and a monster truck show. Tayler did amazing in his swimming class. We learned basic skills like blowing bubbles, going under the water, kicking, jumping in, and climbing in and out of the pool. By the end of the lessons he could do all of the skills. I found out that Tayler really likes being under the water!! He did NOT get that from me. haha. He loved his teacher and he was so well behaved. We will be joining the next level class this Fall. The last two lessons I had to be in the water with Tayler but this next class he goes by himself! So big!! So daddy and I were heroes to our little boy after the monster truck rally. :) He loved loved it! This year we were early enough to go down and see the monster trucks and meet the drivers. That was really neat and Tayler thought the trucks were great. BIG! We got lots of fun pictures which I have based his birthday party off of. He soaked in all three hours and wanted more when it was over. We also borrowed papa bears Mustang and drove Tayler to the show in style. lol. We have had a great July and August. Lots of family time and fun time. The 4th of July we spent at Keyhole with cousins and Grandma, we went to a music concert in Rapid City, a family reunion in Lander along with a quick visit to the Thermopolis dinosaur museum and have spent lots of time outside playing. Tayler achieved a few big milestones these last two months! He started sleeping in his big boy bed! I have had him in his crib until now. I know I know, but he never crawled out and it was a way to contain him. lol. It was a BIG step for mommy daddy and Tayler. He does great and stays in his bed until I come and get him. He also brushes his teeth by himself and FINALLY learned to spit. :) The biggest thing is that he is talking in full sentences now and everyone can understand most of what he says. I love this one. It's so fun to hear him have an opinion on everything and I love that he can tell me what he needs. I took him for a developmental screening this last week and a boy his age needs to score a 76 on the test and he got an 89. So we are doing great developmentally!! I also think that Tayler his gone through another growth spurt. He is taller and has hit 32 pounds. Yay for growing! Right now we are working on his birthday! Obviously we are having a monster truck party at the park! So excited!! And Tayler talks about his party every day!! Me and a friend made his invitations and they are so cute! That's about all for now. Enjoy the pictures!
