Taylor turns a whopping TWO years old today! I feel so blessed to have such an amazing daughter in my life. Watching her grow has been such a rich and proud experience.

She is talking up a storm these days, and just loves repeating every word she hears. She recognizes letters, shapes, and numbers. The other day I had on a Colorado sweatshirt, and was holding her in my arms, and she starts pointing at the letters and spelling out C O L O R A D O. That was a proud dad moment.

I always thought it was tacky to brag about your kids, but being a parent, I finally realize that you get this overwhelming proudness when your baby accomplishes a simple task, that you just want to shout it out to the world.

I've been getting ALOT of those moments these days, just to name a few:

1. Holds her crayons in proper form, and can draw happy faces... to the point that we had two elementary teachers come up to us during dinner at a restaurant and told us that Taylor is extremely advance and was astonished.

2. Goes on the big kid slides at the park by herself and doesn't ask for a scoot anymore.

3. Puts her toys away when asked.

4. Has created several different distinguishable dance moves, and does it anytime music is playing.

The funny thing about all this is, every kid can do all of the above, but there's just something about seeing your own kid do it that you automatically assume your kid is the next Einstein. Don't get me wrong... Taylor is really a genius ;)
