Taelyn - 6-7 Years

Taelyn has definitely gone through some changes over the past year.  It has often felt like she was 6 going on 16.  Sometimes she enjoys playing like a young kid while other times she is more interested in tween-type activities.  She still loves playing with My Little Ponies and just about any make-believe game that she and Kaelia can come up with, but she equally enjoys jewelry and clothing that does not have characters on it.  Taelyn also loves to play on the iPad and Wii - especially her Harry Potter game with her dad.  Taelyn is no longer very interested in Disney princesses, face paint, or other things that she says are just for little kids.  Instead, she would rather go roller skating or watch real people movies like Harry Potter.

In school, Taelyn's favorite class is Cultural Studies as she learns about different places throughout the world.  So far, she has learned about China, Japan, and India.  She also loves writing and develops her own creative stories along with pictures that she draws to go with them.  She is a passionate and creative student and volunteers often in class because she loves to talk!

At 7 years old, Taelyn is now 3'11" (47 inches) and 47 lbs.  She is mastering more physical activities such as flipping upside on playground equipment and scoring goals in soccer games.  She hates being the goalie, though, because she says she always misses the ball!

Here are some pictures from the last year.  Taelyn picked out the Katie Perry song because Katie Perry is her current favorite singer.  It has been Taylor Swift for most of the year, but now she has recently changed that opinion.
