Quick Little Update

I'm at work, in between clients, so I thought I'd write a quick little update on the goings-on at the Villacampa house. Taylor is 10 months and 1 week old and really fun...eventhough she wasn't quite herself yesterday. Yesterday morning she woke up at 5 and today she woke up at 4! I think her gums are bothering her and she might be a little congested. Anyway. She is now doing a real crawl, but still with the occassional army crawl on her tummy. One morning last week she was army crawling and I said, "Taylor, crawl on your hands and knees like a big girl" and she immediately did. It was so funny, like she knew exactly what I said. Then last night Nick was leaving for a meeting at church she said, "Bye Da" and Nick and I looked at each other and laughed. We thought, "ok, she didn't really say that, I'm sure it was a fluke", THEN she said it again. Lately she has grown to love a few of her stuffed animals, namely her bear and dog. I'm trying to teach her to hug and kiss them and she seems to be getting the hug pretty well, but does the typical-open-mouth-kiss that babies do. Cute! She's working on saying "bear" - she says it, but it's kind of one of those things where we know what she's saying because it's always in context. Nick and I say we're not going to be those parents who think their child has the most advanced vocabulary development when really it's just jibber jabber and the parents just hear what they want. With that said, she really did say "bye da" and "bear". For real. :) Ok, this "quick little update" has turned into a long update.
