Three years has gone so fast.

As I type this I am brought to tears. Three years ago I got to hold Taylor for the very first time. Yes, you read that right - 7 days after she was born I finally got to hold my baby girl. A lot has happened in three years, that I all to often forget about because I am so focused on the bad.

Taylor learned to walk.

Taylor said her first word - Uh Oh

Taylor made her first friend

Taylor learned how to climb and Jump

Taylor went down a slide without screaming

So much more has happened... She turned into a big sister and filled the role amazing. She helped mommy through the last 8 months of Nick's tour in Korea.

She knows just when mommy needs a hug, a smile, or even just a kiss.

On that note - it was almost a year ago that we were told of her diagnosis of Autism spectrum disorder, I remember sitting in the dr's office - Crying, uncontrollable crying. Taylor was laughing - Yup you saw that right she was laughing... I think it was that moment that I realized so what if the only thing that is wrong with her is Autism... We made it this far and proved people wrong lets do it again...

There is a lot to Autism that people do not understand, please educate yourselves before you make comments... I am an open person as well and will tell you anything you want to know.

Have a great day with your kiddo's I think I am going to go and hold my baby girl for the first time this morning. <3
