Fourteen FANTASTIC Months

I'm a few days early with this post, but that's ok!  Can you believe it? FOURTEEN MONTHS OLD!!!! I can't believe my BABY is 14 months old!  Here are 14 things I want to remember about you, Bubby, at this age:

Can you tell you are our whole world??? :)

1.  You are signing!!! You have learned to sign "more," "all done," and "yes."  Next we are going to work on "eat," "please," and "goodnight." 

2.  You are currently cutting 8 teeth... all at once! Two molars on the top, two molars on the bottom, and all four I-teeth.  I feel for you Bubby! Some days are better than others. Of course teething often brings those other unwanted symptoms for you... the drool, runny nose, low fever, and messy diapers are definitely no fun!  Hang in there!


3.  You are a great sleeper!!! A few months ago, this was a different story! LOL  You generally go to bed at 7 and sleep until 6 or 7 the next morning.  You take 1 or 2 naps a day that are 1.5 hours each.  I think you are ready to drop your second nap for good, which is a sad Mommy moment because it means my baby is growing up!

4.  You love trying new foods! You are such a big boy now and always want to try anything Momma and Da-da eat.  You are very particular about what you like, though! :)  You LOVE any fruit and recently tried mac-and-cheese for the first time! You thought it was pretty awesome!


5.  Your favorite book right now is The Very Hungry Caterpillar.  Speaking of the Hungry Catepillar, I REALLY want to do THIS for your bathroom!!!



6. You love, and I mean LOVE to play outside!  You don't even need toys! You are perfectly content running around in the grass!  You are ALL boy!


7.  You are still not a fan of diaper/clothing changes! LOL  Hopefully that changes soon! :)  You have, however, started to try to help us dress and undress you! You help pull your shirts over your head and you step out of your pants!!! You're such a big boy!

8.  You are learning to share.  You are doing sooooo well, but we still have room to grow! :)  This year, you are super lucky to have one-on-one attention all day while Momma is a work, which means you have your toys all to yourself.  To help you learn to socialize, share, and be part of a group, we are going to play dates, Sunday School at church, and we make plenty of time to play with your cousins Tyler and Laci.  Sometimes you are so sweet and walk over to hand a friend a toy, but there are still the occasional toy snatches and "Indian giving."  You are also super interested in borrowing others' pacis or sippy cups!!!  We are going to keep making plenty of opportunities for you to play with other kiddos your age so you get better and better at sharing! :)

9.  You have become a PRO at walking! You are now trying to run, climb, and jump!

10.  You LOVE to dance! You are soooooooo funny because you stick up your pointer fingers and wave your arms to the music while squatting up and down!  NeNe must have taught you that while Momma was at work! You crack me up every time!  You know and respond to the word "dance" too! When Momma says "Dance, Bubby!"

11.  You love to sing songs with Momma, Da-da, or NeNe.  You like the ABC song, Patty Cake, and The Wheels on the Bus!  You LOVE the motions with Patty Cake and do them soooooo well!

12.  At 6:30 a.m. on the nose you go to Ryan's door and wait for me to open it so you can tell Ryan, "Get-Up!"  You walk around to each side of his bed saying "get up!"  Although it sounds more like "GA-UH!" LOL

13. While we get ready in the mornings, you like to open the dresser drawers and bring us one item of clothing at a time. LOL Then Momma and Da-da get to put them all back! LOL

14.  You still LOVE bath time!  This is bonding time for you and Da-da each night!  You get sooooooooooo excited when you hear him start the water that I can barely get your clothes off before you are running away to the bathroom!  You two are pretty funny in there!  I think Da-da likes the toys as much as you do!!!


Without a doubt you are one precious, energetic, sweet, rambunctious, and silly 14 month old and I wouldn't trade one moment of our crazy, wonderful, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants life!  I LOVE you sooooooooooooooooo much and am sooooooooo glad I get to be your Mommy!  I'm soooooooo looking forward to month 15!!!


Did I mention how silly you are??? LOL  You always get in your Cozy Coupe backwards! LOL
