Halloween 2016

It's no secret that Halloween isn't really my favorite holiday, but these little girls sure do make it so much sweeter! Anyone surprised that Jordan wanted to be Repunzel this year?! First we had to try on our costumes!

This little bumble bee wasn't exactly sure what this dressing up business was all about.

 

  

But she eventually got the hang of it.

 A few pumpkin stickers to get in the Halloween spirit...thanks Nani!

 Taylor starting to figure it out. Headed to the Fall Festival at our new preschool. Jordan was SO excited. She told me we had to get in the carriage and go to her ball. 

Bumble Bee comparison. Taylor 18 months in 2016. Jordan 16 months in 2014

  

 Jordan was making Taylor's wings flap and they thought it was hilarious!

  

 Fall Festival - Faith Lutheran School October 2016

 

 Taylor was getting kind of cranky that all the games were a little too big for her, so we gave her a piece of pizza and she carried it around the whole night. Happy as can BEE! (See what I did there?)

  Princess loves to have her face painted

 Moved on from pizza to a bag of candy. Happy girl

 Baking Halloween cupcakes

Didn't get many pictures from Halloween night because it got so dark in our neighborhood so fast! The girls definitely getting the hang of it this year. Taylor would NOT let go of her bucket, but also wanted Daddy to carry her everywhere!

   

  

Don't even think about touching this girl's candy.

 

Taylor: 18 Months

18 months is such a sweet perfect age. Sure, Taylor is learning to have her own opinions and can certainly throw a good tantrum, but those are few and far between. She cracks us up every day and is developing such a sweet little personality.She is learning so fast and is so vocal about what she is trying to ask for. She loves the word "yes" and loves to point to our faces and say, "Mouth...eyes....nose".

 She loves to walk out of school wearing her back pack and carry her nap mat whenever possible. She has started trying to keep up with Jordan which is hilarious and quite adorable. My favorite is when I pick them up from school and Taylor only wants to hold Jordan's hand. She will scream if I try to take her hand. Instead...Jordan holds mine and Taylor's and we walk all the way to the car. I love these girls more than life! 

Unlike our other daughter, Taylor is a champion sleeper. She gets tired about 7...pajamas, teeth, stories, prayers, song and DOWN until 7 a.m.

She loves loves LOVES her big sister and is so much fun to watch them starting to play with each other.

 

Even though she is definitely in a daddy stage, she still loves her Mommy! Whenever the other parent isn't around...all she does is ask for them. "Dada?" "Mama? 

  

  

This may not seem like a big milestone, but we've been trying to get her to go through this tunnel for MONTHS!! 

  

Nothing like a girl in her dinosaur shirt and high tops! 

 She will wheel this bag and push her stroller all over the house. 

 

We cannot even get the computer out without Taylor freaking out and demanding she touch it.

  

 This face.

She loves this pink car...but loves her helmet even more. "Hat. Hat. Hat"

  

She has the most expressive eyes and eyebrows than any little girl I've ever seen!

 

Aunt Lissa said it best when she said, "I hope my husband looks at me the way Taylor looks at a piece of cake."

  

Taylor is funny to me because she is not so sure of people she doesn't know.  I kind of appreciate that she just won't smile at anyone. But this girl can give you the angriest look with a furrowed brow and pouty lip, 

but once she gets you....there's this face! She can absolutely light up a room and has the sweetest little personality. We love you Taylor Allison Mudge!
