At 14 months you are independent, joyful, stubborn, cautious, loving, and observant. You are also into everything, love being outside, and are always being silly and playing games.
At this age you are learning, repeating, and practicing something new every day. You love to mimic what we are doing!
This is one of my favorite examples - you want to do just what Dada does.
This summer has been H-O-T! Your whole faces lights up when we ask you to go outside, so we try to go on your beloved car rides first thing in the morning and right before bedtime.
Sometimes we walk up to the school playground so that you can crawl around.
And, of course, we have fun at the pool and with the water hose!
Here is some more info about YOU!
Weight: 24.5 pounds - This is official since we went to the doctor's to treat an ear infection.
Diaper Size: 3 or 4, depending on the brand
Clothing Size: You barely fit into 12-18 month sizes, so we are moving up to 18-24 month clothes. In shoes you wear a 4 1/2.
Physical Description: You have SO much hair! We have cut it twice now (which was HORRIBLE), but it really needs to be cut again. You have such pretty blue eyes with long lashes, a long torso, the softest baby skin, and 3 molars!
Development: You are walking more and more. At the beginning of the month you would walk 4 or 5 steps and at the end you walk 6 feet or more before losing your balance or getting to something you can hold on to. Since you are such an efficient and fast crawler, you haven't been as motivated to walk more - you can get there faster crawling! But I imagine you will stop crawling all together by the end of next month. This makes me sad because you will probably stop pushing your books all over the house.
Words: You repeat TONS of words and sounds that we make, but the words you say independently are: dog (constantly), momma, hi, good, yum, truck, yuck, no, yeah, and night night. You also are demonstrating more sign language - we were so proud when you signed "more!"
Personality: Oh what a funny boy you are! Any time you have the opportunity to be silly you take it. You are still very independent and like to play by yourself. In fact you are obsessed with shutting doors and keeping us out of a room! At the beginning of the month I took you to a play group with about ten other babies/kids. It was a new surrounding with lots of activity so I wondered if you would cling on to me or act shy.... nope! In fact you were perfectly content to play by yourself or with another baby and never even looked for me.
Favorite Books: Any book with dogs and your Caterpillar book
Favorite Games: At the end of the night when your Dada and I laugh and tell stories about you, we always crack up about how you love to play chase. All we have to say is "I'm going to get you!" in a really deep voice and you squeal with delight and crawl away as fast as you can. One day you got so overexcited that you turned around and plowed head first into the wall. We all laughed so hard!
Favorite Things to Do: Give kisses! You kiss everything you love - people, dogs, favorite books, moose, Woody.... it's just the sweetest thing.
Favorite Toys: The iPhone and remote control are now two of your favorite things to play with.
Favorite Foods: This is a toss up between cheese and smoothies. You have both every day and light up when it's time for a snack.
Sleeping: You still take two naps a day. Your morning nap is from 9-11:30 (Sometimes until 12:30) and your afternoon nap is hit or miss 3:00-4:30. You ALWAYS sleep with moose.
We love you.
Love,
Mom
I LOVE the picture of B in the blue and white polo looking up - precious!
