November Celebrations!

November brings us 2 special occasions throughout the month. November 14th was Taylor's 2nd birthday! We held a small birthday party for her, with family and a few close friends. We decorated the house with Elmo balloons and banners. She opened gifts and ate cake and ice cream. She received many thoughtful gifts. Thank you to all who gave her something. She loves her baby doll, rarely leaves without it, and the magnadoodle and art supplies are a huge hit! We think we have a little artist on our hands. Taylor enjoyed her birthday party and for many days following, every time she saw a candle or something resembling it she says "Happy Birthday to you!" Her stats are as follows for her 2nd year check up: weight: 21 lbs. height: 30.5 inches head circumference: 17.75 inches. She is still our little peanut, and she is still as of right now, in 12 month clothes, however, those are getting to be short on her. Her vocabulary is amazing us every day. She knows all the names of the people at her day care, all her animals sounds, her alphabet form a to g, her numbers from 1 to 10, and much much more. Her favorite song at the moment is the alphabet song and the itsy bitsy spider.






Being in Michigan, November also brings us our first snow. Taylor had a great time playing in the snow with her daddy and Danielle and Dominic. She enjoyed walking around in the snow and sledding. Her favorite thing was being pulled by Tony in the sled!




November also brings us Thanksgiving, in which we are so thankful to have Taylor in our lives. We went to spend the evening with my grandparents, and Taylor had a good time. My mother went (Bushka), my grandparents, my Aunt Donna, Uncle Paul, and my cousins Daniel and Kate. Taylor was shy for a few minutes but perked right up and became herself within no time. She didn't really care for the turkey that night but she ate lots of potatoes, and cranberry sauce! She had a great time and enjoyed everyone's company.
