Feburary and March

Well its a good thing that the first three months of the year are relatively boring! You haven't missed much! We've spent a couple of weekends at the cabin, celebrated Daddy's birthday, valentines day, went to a monster truck show and most recently drove to Portland and Seattle. Okay, so you missed a little! Tayler loves traveling and staying in hotels right now so it was a super easy trip! He is doing amazing. Getting sooooo big and talking very well. He loves people and will start up a conversation with anyone who shows interest. He especially likes to talk about and show off his trucks. I know way more about monster trucks and construction trucks than I'll ever admit. We've been learning the alphabet and he knows 11 letters, which is amazing! He knows the letters in his name and some extras. He knows all his shapes and colors too! We are working towards preparing for kindergarten, which makes me sad. But it's a couple years away still. We've had to go up a size in clothes and shoes recently...he's wearing 4 clothing and size 11 shoes! His next size of shoe goes to the big boy section and out of baby and toddler. Growing SO fast! He was able to see his favorite monster truck (Bigfoot) at the show we went to in Casper. I love that he has something that he is so interested in and it's so fun to watch him at the shows. It's always a joy to see your child happy. It was even worth it to get home at 2 in the morning. lol We've snuggled a lot this winter because it has been sooooo cold here. Tayler says several times a day that our fireplace is his favorite thing in our house. We've played out in the snow a few times and that's always fun! Tayler had one cold that required antibiotics this winter....just a common cold.....and other than that he's been healthy! He's amazing! He eats very good food and I still haven't meet another 3 year old that hates pizza, cakes and cookies but prefers a salad or fruits and veggies. We are doing good with his allergies...but I watch him and everything he eats like a hawk. I so pray that he grows out of all of them! On our trip we were able to tour Portland, go to the beach, see Pikes Market and downtown Seattle and parts of Montana and Idaho that we had never seen. So much fun. Tayler is so much more cultured than I ever was! lol He enjoyed every second of the trip and was sad to come home. But it's always good to be home!! Now we are patiently waiting for spring and the opportunity to play outside! Enjoy the pictures!
