Taylor is an amazing 20 months old and she has been so quiet her whole life. Carter by this point in his life was so talkative. I don't know if I was given that blessing because of Mason's non-verbal ways, but it was great. I was starting to get worried about little Taylor who is very watched over by two big brothers. They fill in any blanks about her wants right away without giving her a chance to sign, talk, or anything really. Mason will often ask for a drink for himself, take a sip and then passes it on to her. Well, little Miss Quiet may not be for much longer. I was in the process of dinner and things needed to simmer so I went and sat on our couch and began to talk with Mike. She ran up to me and pointed to the kitchen and said, "Go Cook!" I just started laughing!! Now when she is hungry she just runs to the kitchen and points to the stove, "cook." I think it is so funny, mostly because I am never told to go cook in my house.
I am so grateful for Taylor's new found vocabulary. Carter talks enough for Mason, Carter and Taylor, but I wouldn't have it any other way. We sometimes have to tell him to wait his turn to talk, but never tell him to stop talking. It is such a blessing to hear sweet little words, ideas, wants, needs, and anything else they come up with. Mason communicates in his own right, but to have him talk would be such a miraculous blessing. So my challenge to all the parents today is to enjoy the talking...as much as it may be some days. :)
