I want you to know that….

You are 14 months and 1 day

You jabber all the time; but, you can say some words like: MOM (you usually yell that one), Da Da, Uh OH, and Ba Ba.

You like to copy some words that Mommy says but when I ask you to say something you refuse to speak.

When you want attention from someone you do a funny fake laugh until they look at you.
You don’t care if Mommy leaves, as long as someone is there to play with you.
You smile A LOT! Unless someone strange talks to you …Then you just stare blankly at them.

You look just like your Daddy! (Mommy loves that)You can sit up all on your own!
You have been army crawling since you were 10 months….(it’s just your thing I guess)
You are getting pretty good at pulling up onto things….Daddy needs to lower your crib.
You are in love with hair! And you have a good grip!
You like to cuddle with your blanky and your glow sea horse.

When you wake up, you like to put your cheek on Mommy or Daddy’s cheek and say “awwww”, because that is what Mommy and Daddy say when you are being sweet.
You LOVE LOVE LOVE the swing! You can’t stop giggling and you cry BLOODY MURDER when we take you out.
Just yesterday, you started folding your arms for prayer time all by yourself….but you only do it for 3 seconds and then you want to do something else.
You understand the meaning of "NO,NO". It only makes you more stubborn though. You are VERY Stubborn!

You are very smart, and you like to observe your surroundings before you make any quick moves.
You adore Baby Einstein movies…Now you talk back and laugh at the T.V. You even try to copy what they are doing.
When you hear music you have to stop what you’re doing just to dance…it makes Mommy and Daddy laugh, which makes you do it more.
You like to sneak away from Mommy in your walker and head for the drive way so you can roll down the big hill. You hate it when you get stuck or when Mommy blocks your way.
You will eat anything and you will eat A Lot of it! You never stop eating!!

You have mood swings when it comes to milk….some days you want it and some days you don’t.
You have 5 big chompers now and one more on the way. You don’t like that one very much right now (and neither does Mommy).
You like to share with others. You always hand your toys to other kids (unless it is something you really like).
You are starting to realize that if we go in your room, most likely, that means it is bedtime. You are starting to not like bedtime.
I can’t tell if you are ready for one nap a day yet.

You do not keep your socks on

You love Mommy more than Daddy! lol...(I wish)

Most importantly you are getting cuter and smarter everyday! Mommy and Daddy are so proud of EVERYTHING you do. We love watching you grow and learn. You are such a fun spirit and you bring so much joy into our lives. You are wonderful!
