14 Months

This last month you have taken leaps and bounds! You are trying so hard to walk, you have been consistently letting go of the furniture and trying to take steps.  You are the quite the little explorer.  You love to rummage through the cabinets, diaper bag or anything we will let you get your little hands on. You also are starting to mimic mommy and daddy.  If we are brushing our teeth you want tot brush your teeth. It is pure joy to watch you learn new things. You also love to get and give affection.  If the morning you want to cuddle and give kisses (which melts my heart).  While I am rocking you before naps or bed you like to rub my face or pat my back.  We love to smoother you with hugs and kisses but it pretty sweet that you reciprocating the affection.  

Weight: 18.8 lbs

Length: 29.5 inches

Size: Mostly 9 month and a few 12 month clothes.  You are still wearing size 3 diapers.

Feeding Schedule:  You are doing really great eating. I have a hard time getting you to eat vegetables.   Your current favorites seem to be blueberrys, mandarin oranges, yogurt, cheese, and bbq ribs.  You continue to nurse 3-4 times a day.  You have started to want to use utensils to eat (it sure is messy).  I love that you want to be independent and feed yourself.

Sleeping Schedule: You are sleeping through the night most nights.  You go to sleep around 7:00 pm and wake up around 5:30 am.  You take a two hour morning nap and a two hour afternoon nap. 

Likes: You love water, animals and music.  You love to play with Max! You take his toys in hopes that he will chase you.  It is so cute to watch you and Max play with each other. You also love when Max kisses you (you open your mouth).

Dislikes:  Your car seat and strangers.

Events: This month we have had lots of summer fun.  You started your second semester of swim lessons, we continue to frequent the Children's Zoo often, and you have had lots of play dates with new friends.  Grandma ad Grandpa Sparks watched you for 4 hours for the first time (you enjoyed all the attention).  We have also spent time with your cousins, they all adore you and love to cater to you.
