This one's for Taylor

This is one post that is long overdue. Taylor turned three right before Christmas! I just can't believe how big he is and how much he has grown and learned this past year. Taylor is such a thoughtful, sweet little guy. He is very considerate. The other day we went out to eat at a buffet place and Taylor was sitting next to Justin in the booths. Justin said he needed to go and get some more food and without being asked Taylor got off his seat so that Justin could go get some more food. This is such a simple example, but he does little things like this everday. I have to admit that whenever there was silence while Corbin was playing, I would get a little nervous and I had to go see what he was up to. With Taylor, he is usually playing quietly with his animals or else looking through one of his books.

I wanted to post some of my favorite picture of him throughout this past year.



Taylor loves, loves, loves his milk!

This is the year that Taylor became a big brother! He is such a natural and has been such a big help with Levi. Sometimes he gets a little too excited about Levi and he wants to lay right on him so he can be even closer. Of course I move him and Levi starts to cry, Taylor tells him, "ohh, it's okay, it's okay" Sweet guy.
To sum up this past year, it has been all about Superman!! He loves to be my hero and tell me that I am his princess and Levi is his baby princess. He is always running around saying, "Superman, da na na na" and then stops and puts his hands on his hips and stands there with his chest held high! I don't know where he gets it from, but I love it!

Taylor was so excited to learn to jump off of things this year. Now he is just as daring as Corbin!
Taylor definately belongs to his Grandma Packer. This is his other passion in life. He has a little stick horse that he rides everyday and it's name is usually Ritz or Sassy. Recently, we watched Return to Snowy River and Black Beauty. They are his favorites right now! It is really interesting to me how different children can be and how they just naturally have their own interests. We never pushed either of them into liking certain things. Corbin just loved Tractors and tools and Taylor just loves Superman and Horses. The nice thing is they both support each others interests and will play with each other, but when it comes down to it, they both love very different things.



Taylor, we love you so, so much and we are very excited to see what this year holds in store for you!!!
