Taylen's almost 3 now and has a lot going on. He's expecting a big brother sometime in February. He goes to nursery school full time now and is in the preschool class, he calls this the big class. He is fully daytime potty trained. He still wears pull ups at night time just in case. There is no baby stuff anymore...big cups, utensils, food and activities. He likes to play tractors outside in the dirt and play his drum set like Travis Barker, he always has to take his shirt off, too. He also enjoys going hunting with his daddy. His Aunt Tevis bought him a bb gun for Christmas and he takes it hunting with him and his daddy helps him shoot it. He hasn't killed anything this year yet! His personality has pretty much stayed the same, he's very independant and soft hearted. He wants things done his way, like his mommy. He also gets embarssed easily and can be shy. He says he has a girlfriend at school. He also says he goes to restaurant school. I...http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/66/update.aspxWed, 20 Jan 2010 20:43:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/66/update.aspxIt's been awhile since the last blog post - I thought it would be simple to write a new post every week to let everyone know what was going on in Taylen's world, that's not the case. I'm having a hard time keeping up. What's going on: No more diapers, Taylen's a big boy now using the potty and wearing boxers and Elmo underware. Taylen goes to nursery school (Bay Community School). His teachers are Ms. Holly and Ms. Ashley. He likes going to school now, he's getting used to the routine. He goes Monday, Wednesday and Friday. His best friends are Sara Beasley and Micah. Sara Beasley taught him about a clock and Micah likes tractors, too. Taylen sleeps by himself (mostly) in his new big boy bed - no more crib. Taylen has thrown away his sippy cups and uses real cups now. Taylen's newest favorites: Food is pizza. Drink is Coca (Coca Cola) or Bug Juice, prefers Coca if he can get it. Loves to play tractors and blocks. Likes to ride his new four wheeler and his gator in the mud - likes to...http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/65/keeping_up.aspxFri, 29 May 2009 20:07:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/65/keeping_up.aspxTaylen is the big number 2 today! HappyBirthday to Taylen!http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/64/happy_birthday_taylen.aspxFri, 27 Feb 2009 09:18:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/64/happy_birthday_taylen.aspxI just realized that we have not been keeping Taylen's blog updated. A lot has happened since the last post. Taylen loves dump trucks and tractors! He is now using the potty like a big boy and he sleeps in his crib (most of the time). He loves going outside and playing in the dirt with his dump truck and tractors. He likes to look at big, real tractors but he doesn't want to ride on them. He loves pancakes and doesn't like his vegetables. He now goes to daycare and he likes playing with all of the other kids. He is talking up a storm now and can carry on a conversation. He doesn't like me to get around his mommy and tells me beep-beep-beep. Taylen loves to go hunting for deers! He surly is growing up!http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/62/long_time_no_blog.aspxFri, 27 Feb 2009 09:17:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/62/long_time_no_blog.aspxSince Monday, June 23, 2008 Taylen has survived without his pacifier during his awake hours. He goes to sleep for a nap and sleeps longer now that he don't have pass. He goes to sleep at night without pass (gets it during the night at some point). He has already been talking more and sleeping better. We are very proud of him!http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/61/no_more_pass.aspxWed, 25 Jun 2008 15:06:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/61/no_more_pass.aspxTaylen had his 15 month check up on Thursday, June 5 with Dr. Azam. His weight was 29.8 pounds and his height was 33 inches. He is in the 97 percentile for his height and 50 percentile for his weight. His next check up is August 28 when he will be 18 months old.http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/60/15_month_check_up.aspxTue, 10 Jun 2008 16:30:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/60/15_month_check_up.aspxClick here to watch a video of Taylen doing work on his daddy's computer.http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/59/doing_work.aspxTue, 03 Jun 2008 23:34:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/59/doing_work.aspxWe celebrated Taylen's first birthday on Saturday, February 22. It was a Go Diego Go party. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, cake and ice cream. Taylen got lots of toys. His favorite thing was to play in the mud in the backyard. Most of our family and friends came to celebrate with us. Thanksto all who came and thanks to all who helped out!Taylen had a good time. Taylen's real birthday is Wednesday, February 27. We haven't added any new journal posts since December and that is because we've just been too busy. Taylen is walking now and so he doesn't give us a break. Our business is busier than ever and there is no time left at the end of the day. Taylen has became much more independent. He now points to something when he wants it, which is very helpful to us.http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/58/birthday__party__boy.aspxMon, 25 Feb 2008 00:17:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/58/birthday__party__boy.aspxIt has been awhile since we've posted an update, so here goes! Taylen's last visit to Dr. Azam he checked out fine. He weighed 20 pounds and 2.6 ounces (50 percentile). He measured 29.5 inches long (95 percentile). Dr. Azam gave us the go ahead to give Taylen whole milk in between breakfast and lunch, for a sort of morning snack. He is staying busy and keeping us busy! He can crawl, I believe about 95 MPH and loves to hold on to his walking toys or the couch for a cruise. We went outside today, he played in the grass and we blew some bubbles...he likes to be outside. He plays what we call Where is Taylen (instead of peek-a-boo), he claps when he is happy (like when he wakes up in the morning, looks at the christmas tree), plays pat-a-cake, and the newest addition is putting his hand up in a stop signal when we tell him no or if he hears something he don't like. He still only has 4 teeth...his top gums are very swollen and are white now, I assume he will have more...one day soon. His v...http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/57/update.aspxTue, 11 Dec 2007 22:18:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/57/update.aspxTaylen crawls for real now. He gets around real good. He can crawl real fast and likes to pull up on the rocking chair. He likes to hide under the tables, too. He ate his first Cheerios today and liked them. He is a good chewer! I ordered him a big boy car seat complete with arm rests and a cup holder! I bet he likes it! We've decided for Halloween between a pirate (arg!) or a dinosaur (Uncle Collins' old costume) if it's cold weather. We've been super busy with work lately (12 active projects) so Granma Connie and Uncle Collins have been coming over to keep Taylen company while we get work done. Tomorrow Grandma P and Aunt Tevis will be coming over. Almost 8 months old...seems like just last week I was still pregnant - and Taylen is almost 1 year old. Wow! Where does time go?http://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/56/crawling_for_real.aspxSun, 21 Oct 2007 23:29:00 GMThttp://www.taylen.com/blog_archive/56/crawling_for_real.aspx
