Saylor Update

I know I put TONS of pics of Saylor on my blog all the time but I feel like it's been a really long time since I've given an update on just Saylor. Since she has gotten too old for her baby book I need to document a little on her life as a 16 month old. Since we've moved to Kirksville Saylor has started talking LOTS. In certain moods she will repeat almost anything you say but these are the words she says most frequently...

Daddy
Mommy
Binky
Grandma (sounds more like mama)
Nana (banana)
Juice
Please
(Say is getting pretty good at saying "Peese" when she wants something)
Thank You
Hot Dog
Mimi (Minnie)
Wow
Cheese
Sorry
(I make her say sorry after she pulls my hair!)
Teeth
Nose
Eyes
Shoes
Bath (LOVES her baths)
Puppy (still loves dogs and all animals)
Happy
Mail
(Say gets so excited to go get the mail everday!)
Buh-bye
Baby
Beep (she loves to pretend she is driving a car)
Nuh-night
Yummy
Yes
Uh-oh
Hello (sounds more like he-woah)
Hi
No no
Popcorn
Maddie
Love you
(She doesn't say this a lot but when she does it melts my heart!)
One
(If I ask Saylor, how old are you? she says, "One!" and holds up her finger)
Two
(I'm trying to teach her how to count to 5 but one, two is as far as we've gotten)
Me
You
Cookie
Read
Poo poo
Pee pee
(I know it sounds kind of gross but she tells us which one she did in her diaper)
Reed
Beau
Jess
Erica
Saylor
(Once in a while she will say Saylor if you ask her what her name is, most of the time she just points to her self)
I'm sure there's more...but that's all I can think of right now.

Saylor can also make the animal noises for a tiger, cow, sheep, puppy, cat and she makes a fish face when you ask what a fish says. Say can point to her eyes, nose, ears, hair, tongue, teeth, neck, tummy and toes. She is really good at giving hugs and kisses, blowing kisses and waving bye-bye. (She's been doing a lot of these things for a while) Saylor is great at giving fives and pounds and when she does it to one person, she wants to do it to every person in the room. We also taught Saylor popcorn popping and she can do all the actions!

Saylor is still busy as can be. She has never been one to like to sit down and watch movies or tv but she has a new obcession with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. That is why hot dog is one of the things she says most, she'll say hot dog, hot dog when she wants to watch it. (If you've never seen it, they do the hot dog dance at the end which is her favorite part!) Saylor is seriously mesmorized by it and will sit down and watch a whole episode. I don't know, maybe that's normal for other kids but to see Saylor sit still for that long is a miracle.
Saylor is so motherly, she was pushing her Minnie around on her airplane

Saylor loves to play with babies, her kitchen, books and especially her baby Minnie. Say still LOVES to dance and listen to music. She's definitely got some sweet moves! She will always pick up my phone and start pumping her arm when she wants me to turn music on. Saylor loves being tickled and chased especially by her Daddy. Say loves to go to the park to go down the slide and swing. We've been loving our free pass to the aquatic center where we've been doing mommy and me swim lessons and going during the day to just play and swim with other kids.

Saylor is still an amazing sleeper. We put her to bed at 10pm and she usually gets up around 9am. She takes two naps, usually two hours each. She loves to go to bed, when she is tired she will lay on the floor or try to climb in her crib and say nuh-night, it is so cute. We lay her down in her crib with a binky and she puts her self to sleep. She still loves her binky but only gets it at bedtime and sometimes in the car.

Her favorite food is still bananas but she also loves cheese, watermelon and pretty much any other fruits and vegetables. Saylor guzzles down apple juice like crazy, she drinks SO much of it.

Saylor is so very close to being able to go to nursery, she's been a few times and has loved it. When she doesn't go, church is basically me or Ty chasing her around for 3 hours. Since we've moved to Kirksville Saylor has been super friendly to all the women. She's always been friendly but she will reach for people and want to sit on their laps and give them hugs all the time. I think it's funny but I decided its because she misses her Grandmas, aunts and cousins so much:)

So that's Saylor, our adorable little girl that we love more than anything, keeps us laughing all the time, and makes our lives the best ever:)
