Some Of My (Teagan's) Favorite Things

Dancing! I LOVE to dance by myself, with Mommy or Daddy, or with my baby dolls. I know how to turn on the CD player and sometimes will even create my own lil' stage to dance on. I especially like to watch myself in the mirror when I dance. I think I'm pretty good. :)





Cuddling with Bailey:



Helping Mommy unload the groceries:



Giving kisses!


Doing my "silly face"



Doing "pop-a-wheelies" with my car!


Dressing up (okay, this is really Mommy's doing, not so much mine). :)



Doing art projects!


(Mommy lets me paint bare naked so I don't make too big of a mess. I think it's pretty fun!). :)




Climbing on EVERYTHING. There is almost nothing too challenging for me...on the dining room table, into my high chair, out of my pack n' play. I'm really strong! :)


Planes: pretending to be one or pointing to them in the sky (we live right by a lil' airport so I am constantly hearing them and get so excited when they go over our house!).

(Disclaimer: I usually wear a diaper but I was recovering from a bad diaper rash and needed to dry out). :)

Watching Daddy mow our lawn (sometimes Mommy will even sit me out on the deck in my high chair so I can eat and watch Daddy at the same time). I can even say "lawn mower" and get really excited whenever I see one when we're out and about (I usually think it's Daddy on the mower but Mommy tells me it's not and then I get sad). Daddy is happy about this since he hopes that one day I can work for him or take over the business. :)



Playing with my friends!

Me and my cousin, Myles.

Having a pool party/picnic with my friends from church.


Going out for ice cream with my twin friends, Jennalyn and Lydia.



At the beach with my "boyfriend," Evan.



Drawing pretty pictures with sidewalk chalk!



Saying "hi" (in a very high pitched, sweet voice) to the bugs on our deck.




Wearing my cool sunglasses.



The Toilet: I'm already showing many signs of getting ready to potty train. I am fascinated with the toilet and love to help lift the lid and flush (while saying "bye bye pee pee!"). I've even tried climbing in it but Mommy stopped me just in time. Mommy also walked into the bathroom one day to find that I had put Elmo in the toilet. I told her that he had to go potty. :)


Having picnics at the beach and then playing with Mommy and Daddy.





Looking at photo albums and reading books (my favorite books right now are "Merry Christmas, Curious George" and "A Pocket For Corduroy." I can even say "George" and "Corduroy" and often refuse to be read any other books but these two)!



Playing in the sprinkler and in my lil' pool in our backyard (it's a monkey)!





Boycotting naps. For some reason, this isn't one of Mommy and Daddy's favorite things though and they really hope that it's just a phase! I thought it was funny when I took off all of my clothes and my diaper and jumped around in my crib for an hour instead of sleeping the other day. I could tell that Mommy thought it was funny too when she walked in on me but she made me get dressed and go back to sleep (which I eventually did). :)



Mommy and Daddy say that they are really enjoying the "stage" that I am in right now and that I light up their lives! I am definitely keeping them on their toes and teaching them new things about how to parent an active and sometimes testing toddler! They think I am growing up really fast. I am talking up a storm, can run really fast, love to hide myself or things and say "where'd go?!" (Mommy and Daddy are good at playing along...even when the thing I think I'm hiding is in plain site), :) am good at helping feed Bailey his food every morning, and love to take care of my baby doll (I'm going to be a great big sister)! They think that I am quite the lil' ham (I love to tickle them and make faces at them and make the laugh!), a great helper, a loving cuddler, and definitely a lil' sweetheart!

TERRIFIC post! Thanks, Teagan. We have been in desperate need of some new pictures.

I laughed out loud more than once...especially with the huge grin of Teagan naked in the crib. She played you, Mommy!
