Tayler

Like her big sis, Tayler has found a love for cleaning.  It's stinkin cute.  Often, as I'm cleaning off the counters, I'll look down to see Tayler wiping the floors with a rag she's pulled out of the drawer.  And if she wants to reach something a bit higher, she'll pull the stool from the bathroom out.  She's also fantastic at cleaning up toys.  A simple "it's time to clean up" and she's all over it - clearly the cleaning up is as fun for her as the actual playing.  

She's also desperate to start riding a bike like her older siblings.  And while those legs are still too small for the coaster bike, I found her trying this many times over the summer (and finally caught a pic!).

The last few weeks have sprouted her ability to talk.  Words have been coming out like crazy every day.  I love her excitement and ability she has to communicate.  Super fussy when she's teething, and won't hesitate for a moment to let you know when something is not what she wants, but is also a fun spirited goof.  She loves books and will pull them out to find your lap.  And then leave moments later for something more interesting (like any one year old!).
